Democrats criticize Bush just as much as Republicans critizice Obama. The job of President is hard. No one will make all the right decisions, but tend to make the best decisions when informed. I am not really upset at the time frame Bush took to address the situation, nor upset at Obama for his time frame. I do wish both Presidents had addressed the nation about the failed attacks the very same day. Taking a break from their respective vacations to address each situation would have meant a lot to this great nation. I am proud to be an American where we are free to criticize our leaders, but must also realize the tremendous pressure they feel everyday.

Bud - After the shoe bomber decided to light himself, Bush took 9 days before talking to the American people. Over a week!!! Did you call Bush weak on terror? Did you say that Bush didn't take the problem seriously? What did you do? Nothing. You sat there like a quiet school boy. Have you read on that time period before you took your marching ordered from the Republican publicity machine? Our good friend Scott McClellan had some great quotes from that time period. "The White House has been monitoring the situation since early on today," McClellan said, according to a Washington Post article published on December 23. The lead statement came from Swift, who lauded the "heroic acts" of "the flight attendants and passengers who helped subdue the suspect." Now, the best way to look at Bush's response was to remember that we were just hit with worse terrorist attack in our nation's history. Osama, himself, releases a tape during Bush's silence. What does Bush do? What does he say to the American people - nothing. When Bush finally spoke to the American people about the shoe bomber what did he say? He held a press conference and during an answer to a question, Bush thanked the stewardess for her vigilance. That was it. He didn't say that he was doing anything to stop future shoe bombers. He didn't talk about anything of substance. Tell me what did Bush do? While you are making sarcastic comments about the word terrorist, our President is doing something. He is working on fixing a problem that Bush promised us was fixed and it wasn't. Thanks for your comments.

Bud – if you have nothing to say then say nothing. If you have some constructive to say, I’m happy to debate you.

Thanks,

And speaking of Obama: he’s so special, so smart, so cerebral, so thoughtful, so COOL. He’s a “God” (Evan Thomas, “Newsweek”). He’s got this all figured out, and he is so much more engaged and considerate and intelligent than that mean old, idiot, war-mongering, cowboy, playboy, daddy’s boy Bush. Obama is so “dreamy!” Where in the world would we be without Obama???

“Two-bit thug?” That’s all you need to know about the lackadaisical approach to “terrorists.” There’s that word again, “terrorists.” Sorry, I hope I didn’t offend anyone. I am sorry: the “man-caused disaster causers” are their own victims, are misunderstood, and the products of broken homes — because their dads were suicide bombers.
