So, the Obama administration is somehow responsible for poor passenger screening in Amsterdam?
Why of course not. Didn't you hear our head of Homeland Security say that the system worked? Oh wait, she then turned a 180 and said that it didn't work. Hmmm... Just WHO hired this genius of a woman?
What the hell do you want it to do? Napolitano came out and said on the Today show that the system failed and that she mis spoke on Sunday. She represents the administration. But of course, you want to hang Obama, personally from the nearest tree.
No, she did not say she mis-spoke. She said her comment was taken out of context. No admission of fault at all.
What do you want, to continue to apologize for this administration until they are out of office? Or continue to be blind to their faults in the name of the one?
So is every violent crime committed in the United States Obama's fault since he failed to protect the citizen victim?
Way to attempt to obfuscate. Comparing apple to oranges is a weak argument. The president is sworn to protect from all enemies from a foreign nation. He did not.
The police are sworn to protect against domestic violence.
See the difference and how silly your statement is?
Well folks, all will be well and fixed. Congress said they would "hold a hearing" on this in January.
So nothing to worry about because Congress is on top of this now.

"Congress is already starting to weigh in. Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., said Monday that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee would hold hearings on the incident in January. Lieberman is chairman of the committe."

The truly obfuscating statement was the one personally blaming Obama for failing protect our citizenry (although I don't believe any were actually harmed) by not preventing a single person from boarding a plane in Amsterdam with explosives.
Also, while it certainly is duty of the President to protect and defend the safety of Americans, the only oath he is sworn to is to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Also, what foreign nation is Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab? Or at least, what foreign nation's authority was he acting under?

The system worked before it didn't work.
