EXPLODING NIGERIAN PROVES SYSTEM WORKED  

I have been saying for years that liberals embrace mediocrity. And a 23 year old pouting Nigerian with smoldering underpants has proven me right once and for all. "That will do" seems to be the liberal mantra. But did it really have to take a lunatic Islamist bent on removing his genitals pyrotechnically to convince people that the Obama Administration and Democrats in general do not take security seriously?

Janet Napolitano, the Barney Fife of Homeland Security told us that the system worked. What system would that be? Airborne castration for Africans? If that's the case I say well done! You Homeland Security persons succeeded beyond your wildest dreams. 24 hours later she clarified her statement saying she meant the system in place worked after the angry Nigerian had succeeded in blowing his balls off. What system is this? Hoping a random Dutchman tackles the African Falsetto? The way we see it here is how the system works after the plane is downed is irrelevant.

The political fallout for Obama is rather large and unavoidable no matter how often he refers to the Bush Administration. Either way he has some 'splainin' to do. First we asked  "what happened?"  and Obama explained that these programs were instituted by the Bush Administration. Okay, fair enough. Why didn't the Obama Administration fix the problems in the system? After all they spent months if not years criticizing Bush's security programs and questioning his competency. Is Barney Napolitano telling me that they decided to assume George Bush's security measures were good enough and that there was no need to review them? That means libs view all of Bush's policies as absolute crap except for security. They were just spiffing in a Jimmy Carter sort of way....

Aside from Obama and company having a season ticket on the Blame Bush express ironically it's what he said that is most disturbing, "alleged terrorist" and "Isolated incident". When was the last time an aircraft was attacked by someone that was not Muslim? I sense a pattern here. Just don't tell Janet Fife because terrorism does not exist. It's a "man made disaster". I thought Michael Moore was a man made disaster. Apparently giving evil things non threatening names will neutralize the threat. For example is we rename a murderer a "Deliberate Respiratory Encroacher" that person will stop killing people. I know 299 people that will testify that Mr. Underpants was not alleging anything but actually in the process of blowing up a commercial airline (The explosive removal of the Nigerian's testicles is just a bonus)

It is becoming apparent even to the left that Obama is more concerned with damage control than addressing what seems to be a growing threat out of Yemen. In fact 48 hours after the attempted attack and 24 hours before Obama would finally speak his team was scouring records of the Bush Administration looking for similar breakdowns -- if any -- from the Bush Administration. To quote the American Spectator "The idea was that we'd show that the Bush Administration had far worse missteps than we ever could,". In his weekly radio address President Obama went to great lengths to distance himself form the thwarted attack of the BVD Bomber and found room to take thinly veiled shots at the Republican party. He even gave himself credit for the Iraq war. What he didn't do is give the people confidence. In times of crisis the American people look to the President for leadership. Obama, was too busy sailing in a sea of self preservation to lead. Even the Left is beginning to realize it.
