Obama's administration doesn't have that excuse. 2001- 2009! Sorry! Hate to burst your bubble.

All the more reason (in theory) why the President should have been quicker to be out in front during the shoe-bomber incident. You are right, it was fresher!

You're not bursting my bubble at all, we are attempting a discussion.

Less than 72 hours for a Presidential response for something that was ALMOST a huge tragedy is good.

It's good that he waited to receive a better idea of what happened-- the failure and the depths of that failure. It's good that he did not shift blame.


However, most of my fellow Conservatives aren't recognizing ANY of the good, while dismissing the actions or inaction of GWB.
