"When the news is bad and lives are on the line, I want my government to give it to me straight. Instead I've got a head of DHS who's impersonating Kevin Bacon at the end of Animal House."
Meanwhile, it took the president, what, three whole days, to make a statement? Granted, at the point at which he said anything, virtually nobody cared what he had to say. Every news outlet and blogger were already all over the incident. He was so far behind the story that it was laughable and pathetic -- THIS is the man who's supposed to be overseeing the security of our nation? Really? The Detroit newspaper writeup of the latest presidential utterance is full of nonsense like this:
Obama's remarks Monday were the first heard from him about Friday's scare. Officials said that was a deliberate effort by the White House to balance the need for the president to show concern with the need to avoid unduly elevating a botched incident, thereby encouraging other would-be attackers.This, ladies and gentlemen, is called "a BS-filled attempt at CYA."
