Timothy McVeigh almost got away.

You're so desperate to paint everything in negative tones.

That can't be healthy.

Thank you, Our Fearless President Obama, for staying up nights and working tirelessly to apprehend the perp.

If your predecessor had only done as much in eight years as you have in two days, the whole incident may never have occurred.
Oh please. Bush kept this country safe after 9/11 and implemented the intelligence programs that have disrupted many potential attacks in the US since.

It was just pure luck that the explosive devices both this guy and the Undie bomber utilized failed.

They slipped through the cracks.

Undoubtedly Janet Napolitano and other Democrat operatives (for that is really what she is) will trumpet their "achievement." But the American public knows that dumb luck is not a deterrence to terrorism. So far the Obama administration gets a failing grade with regards to its duty and responsibility to keep America safe.
If, if, if.

If Bush hadn't been goofing off on 9/10 he might have been able to become as big a hero as Our Favorite President.

Way Big "YAY!" for Barry!

Jail for life is a high possibility, so his citizenship means nothing, whether he keeps or not. If he sings enough for the FBI then he might get a lower sentence though.

That's hilarious coming from someone who always says "don't blame Bush for what Obama inherited".

Again, if he "kept us safe since 911" then you must also admit he failed to protect us that day. Anything else is dishonest.

8 months into his presidency was certainly not enough time to correct all the damage bubba, Reno and Gorelic had done while emasculating the CIA and erecting walls that prevented sharing of intelligence by the FBI, CIA and other agencies.
