Obama response to underwear bombing

This is getting ridiculous. This administration is totally inept as far as the failed attempted bombing on Christmas day. What we need is strength, resolve, leadership, truthfulness, and accountability after tragedies, or near misses of attack on our country. This is the reason why, love him or hate him, the country responded so well to W. Bush. He was able to show strong resolve, and most importantly, great leadership after 9/11. Here are a few things in which the Obama administration fell way short of what it needed to do:

• Michael Leiter, Director of the National CounterTerrorism Center, who basically is the man needed for terrorism strikes on our country, decided to stay on the ski slopes for several days after the failed attack.
• John Brennan, Deputy National Security Advisor to Obama- He said there was "no smoking gun" to know of the bombers intentions. Umm, excuse me? How about the bombers own dad saying his son told him that day over the phone this would be his last contact with his dad. to contact This made his dad contact Nigerian intelligence, fearing that his son might be planning a suicide mission in Yemen. The Nigerian officials brought Mutallab directly to the CIA station chief in Abuja Nov. 19. The next day the embassy sent out a thin report to U.S. embassies around the world warning Adbulmutallab may be associating with extremists in Yemen. He also left Amsterdam with no luggage to the US. In addition, he came to the US with his own name. How could this not have been caught??
• Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Advisor- She said the system "absolutely worked". After getting hammered from the left and right, she offered a mea culpa the next day, although her words were less than convincing.
• The Administration to allow the underwear bomber a US attorney. Absolutely breathtaking. Instead of trying him under the CONSTITUTIONAL Military Tribunal, where we could interrogate him, we allow him a US attorney. Of course at this point of him lawyering up, he stopped talking. And there was evidence that before getting an attorney afforded to him by the Obama Admin, he was singing like a canary, giving up valuable intelligent information.
• Obama- On December 28th, Obama said this was an "isolated event". Sometimes this guy talks out of his ass, think the Harvard Professor friend of Obama getting arrested a few months back and Obama wrongly saying the cops were in the wrong. Anyway, Obama had to backtrack on those words, now that we know it was al-qaeda. This is a damning pattern. He assumes the best out of everyone, which includes the bad guys. This president has to be worse than Jimmy Carter, and that's saying something.
