Remember September 2001 and how George Bush was blamed for the terrorist attacks because a memo given to him a month prior stated that Osama bin Laden and Co. will attack us soon? Keep that in mind.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's name is in a federal database of those with suspected ties to terrorists. His father told the American Embassy in Nigeria that he feared his son was a threat. For some reason, the Obama administration refused to add this fellow's name to the no-fly list.
However, 4-year-old Edward Allen and 5-year-old Sam Adams are on the no-fly list, and as a result, can never own a gun - at least, according to the Obama administration, not the U.S. Constitution. But to make the transition to communism simpler, you disarm the public and gradually strip freedom.
We all know what happened. Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a plane, and Obama's Homeland Security maharishi, Janet Napolitano, proclaimed, "the system worked."
People, if you are not outraged times two about this president and this administration, then quite honestly, we're doomed. It took several days before Obama said one word about the failed terrorist attacks while he was on vacation in Hawaii. Here we have a person with suspected terrorist ties mentioned in a federal database, a man's own father called our Embassy to express concern, yet the bomber went through not one, but two security checkpoints (Nigeria and Amsterdam), and boarded a plane destined for America. He tried to blow up a plane, but failed. ...The administration allowed this to happen.
The media and Democrats mock and ridicule and accuse Bush about "not preventing" the attacks of 9/11. Here we had in advance a person's name and whereabouts, but did nothing. If this were George Bush and not Barack Hussein Obama, what would the media be doing?
Wake up and recognize Obama as the enemy of a free and secure state that he is. Just look at what he has done inside of a year. Pathetic! Those who still march along to whatever tune he plays are even worse.
