I smell fake outrage here, just sayin'.
I am very sure that in the White House there was discussion of the political possibilities of this disaster.

Now that I have said that I believe that Obama, finally, did something right.

You realize the the MO has been changed since Obama . Do you seriously think Obama changed nothing in the intelligence community. Obama is the president he had control over Homeland security . Obama himself said the buck stopped with him. Do you not believe the president when he sasy that

Who came up with the most money and the most aid? Why Obama, of course, as should have been done. Now we have libs here talking as if we should have been interfering in the business of a sovereign nation and getting them built up before this happened.

Well at least he did get the first four letters right so any fool should have known that Limbaugh could be called Limberger. I think you are wrong.

You'd be wrong if you thought I have problem with 0bama being Johnny on the spot after this disaster hit.

Illegal possession of Viagra? Surely that can't be a problem for those arguing for the legalization of mary jane?

Poked fun of MJ Fox? As I recall he was showing how MJ was politicizing his illness.

I've got a Rush 24/7 membership and get the newsletter as well.

It's interesting to me the people on here that denounce Rush for politicizing issues and then do the same thing themselves AND pile on the personal attacks since they have nothing of substance to add. Nor can most even quote properly. ROFL!! Right out Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and no I don't fall for that nonsense.
How gullible are you to not understand that he makes an exorbitant amount of money for carrying water for the bigwigs? Why do you think that he makes the kind of salary that he does? Don't be so naive.

As for Viagra and the Dominican Republic trip, lets' get real. We are not in a courtroom Perry Mason. My 13 year old nephew could figure that one out.

Your defense and admiration of Rush is perfectly understandable as I can see that you relate to his cruelty and self-serving nature and lack of scruples. If you agree and condone making fun of and mimicking a person that is afflicted with Parkinsons Disease because they choose to expose themselves and speak out for and on behalf of others that might benefit from stem cell research, you are indeed every bit as screwed up as Limbore only you don't get paid to be so. Tsk, tsk.

It matters not that Obama will make mistakes, not that this was one of them, but being human, you and he will err. That's life.

Who got hurt on the plane? The undie bomber. A poor sap who couldn't light a match. Real hunk of a terrorist.

Your police department can't stop the killings in the city or town you live in, and they are RIGHT THERE, armed and ready. Why don't you hope and pray for their failure while you're at it.

Well, I drifted off-topic there.......but I can safely assert that between 2000 and 2008, I never heard the words "the buck stops with me" uttered once.

And, as an added bonus, I never once saw the curtains move at the WH during about the last 6 months of the last administration. There was not a peep about anything, whatsoever, during the waning days of a failed term.

Where was your bleating then?

Especially when 0bama was afraid he would be held accountable for a systemic failure that allowed the attempted terror attack. Calling an entire police department stupid or rushing to the aid of Haitians was easy and presents no political risk, taking responsibility is tough and has a lot of political risk.
