Amazing! Obama Takes Four Days To Respond To Attempted NWA 253 Boming, Responds Immediately To Cheney Criticism

Former Vice President Dick Cheney rightfully and accurately criticized the Obama Administration yesterday for dropping the ball on the attempted bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, saying the Administration "is trying to pretend we are not at war."

As Mark Hemmingway for the Examiner wrote, that prompted an immediate response from the White House, as compared to "That One's" four day delay in response to the attempted in-flight bombing of an airliner by a Muslim terrorist.

But what I can't wrap my head around is that it took the President four days to acknowledge what he termed a "catastrophic" national security failure, but Cheney criticizes the administration's handling of the war on terror and they have a rapid response on the White House blog in a matter of hours? Priorities!

Then again, it took six days to respond to the riots in the streets of Tehran during their election, so four days seems about right for a barely averted domestic catastrophe.

Also, is the White House aware of how small they look when they are so obviously spooked by Cheney's every utterance? Remember when the President rescheduled a press conference earlier this year to deliberately conflict with a pre-planned Cheney speech?

We could really use a steady hand on the tiller while dealing with national security matters, but the White House is still in campaign mode, worried about what a private
citizen -- who left office remarkably unpopular! -- thinks of them.

Suffice to say, this is not reassuring.

While the United States has had two terrorist attacks by Islamofascists in the past two months, and there are more plots to kill Americans, we can rest assured that this incompetent Administration is willing protect us from who they see as a bigger security threat....Dick Cheney.

2010 and 2012 can't come fast enough.
