Is This Terrorist Attack Obama's or Bushes Problem????????

If you're referring to the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit I'm not sure how it could be EITHER Bush's or Obama's fault! Are you implying this was a plane full of older people or what? This plane originated in a foreign country so how could it be any American's fault? They've already made some changes at American airports and hopefully other countries will follow suit. Annie

No one has blamed Bush for this attack (although many republicans blamed Clinton for 9/11). The only people to blame are the idiots that didn't think that the information from the man's father was proof that he was a danger. We need to change how we react to information like this, even if it means restricting travel for people (especially when they aren't Americans). It is good that this plot was stopped, the sad part is that it ever got this far.

Actually this problem goes all the way back to Bill Clinton. He knew about bin Laden and failed to take him serious. Several deals were made to get bin laden back to the U.S. after the bombing in 1998 of U.S. embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya. http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/12/5/153637.shtml

It's not the president's fault if some moron goes and tries to blow people up. I'm assuming they didn't know about it ahead of time, otherwise the plane wouldn't have left the ground. If you're going to lay the blame on the president, at least lay the blame for things he has control over. He's not superman - he can't save the world and be there to fight crime whenever anything goes wrong.

there are a number of folks to blame in this. the security team in amsterdam for allowing someone on the plane who a. didn't have a passport b. bought the ticket in cash c. had no luggage It is the fault of homeland security for not putting this guy on a no fly list with the number of red flags this guy had on him already, including a call from his own father stating this guy was going to try and do harm.

Hmmmm...I don't think it is either Bush or Obama's fault that the terrorist boarded that plane. I would say it is the terrorists fault or maybe the fault of security that let him board the plane to begin with. Obama was nowhere around and neither was Bush.....how can they be blamed?

Technically, it's not the fault of either President. It's the fault of our security policies in general based on the politics of political correctness. Somehow the propagandists have convinced our policy makers that effective measures against terror suspects is profiling that violates civil liberties. Therefore, we have ineffective, wasteful, time-consuming policies like patting down little old white ladies in airports rather than screening and detaining would-be terrorists. Our technology is also off base. Eight years after 9/11 we still do not have technology to detect incendiary bombs tnat can make their way into airplanes. For that I blame our corrupt corporate-lobby-loving Congress over the past decade.

I think Obama is just following Bush's lead in the blame game. Bush was blaming Clinton for anything that went wrong while Bush was in his second term.

There are two people at fault here. One of them is not Bush. The other is not Obama. The first person at fault is the administrator of the No Fly List at TSA. The bomber was on the terrorist watch list--his dad went to the US Embassy and told them "My son is going to try to attack your country." He wasn't on the no fly list. The second person at fault is the ticket agent at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam who checked him onto the plane. This man did not have a passport--a requirement for international air travel. The man was dressed in poor clothes and escorted to the counter by a man in a fine suit. The man in the suit told the ticket agent: "He is from Yemen. We do this all the time." Making the ticket agent think the man was a refugee being flown to the United States. If the ticket agent would have called his boss, the supervisor would have heard the story and told the man in the fine suit, "he can't get on the plane because he needs a passport." (They would probably also have called the Dutch police, who would have taken the man into custody. It is illegal for a man from Yemen to be in Holland with no passport. Once he was in custody he would have been searched and the bomb found. The ticket agent could have stopped the whole thing just by telling the man in the fine suit a man with no passport cannot get on an international flight.

according to my opinion since he is still using the polices of Bush and not his own so thats why he is still blaming Bush. Had he been allowed to use or shape up his own policies he would have been made to blame for these attacks

I just want to know why we have video off all sorts of terrorist training camps but can't send a CIA drones in to blow them to heck.

Be very sure that Barack Hussein Obama is intent on fomenting jihad of every kind on America. He is responsible for ensuring that radical Muslims, like himself, who hate America, will have every opportunity to destroy us violently as he continues to destroy us economically, and any other way he can to bring about the demise of our freedoms and very lives. From the moments even before he usurped an office to which he is NOT and can never be entitled to, his intent has been to remove every protection for the US and its citizens and to endow those intent on our demise the power and freedom to destroy us as quickly as possible. 1. 1/09, Second Executive Order (after sealing his vital records to make sure proofs of his illegal alien status will not be seen), using taxpayer dollars to relocate thousands of Palestineans, known Hamas sympathizers, to America, free food, housing, transportation (Federal Register, 2/09). 2. Declaring through Napolitano that we may not call terrorists by that name, but call US citizens, including our military, domestic terrorists. 3. Removing our border protections and having henchman Holder, whose law firm represents terrorists, go after Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is protecting us and our borders. 4. Conferring Miranda, civil, constitutional rights on terrorists !!!! while denying us our own constitutional rights daily. 5. Demanding that Congress not investigate the Ft. Hood jihadist massacre and saying any probe on their part would be "political stagecraft". My God, folks, wake up and smell the evil! 6. Having Holder bring terrorists to "trial" in NY so they can see their handiwork and gloat at the joy they had holding the bloody, severed head of Daniel Pearl in their hands. Making a mockery of our Constitution, justice system, and reducing 9/11 to a "National Day of Service". 7. Cohort and fellow liar Napolitano saying of this latest jihad event "The system worked". Remember she said that her state of Arizona had no border problems, when Phoenix is the kidnap capital of the US? Putting devout Muslims in positions of power in DHS. Honoring Muslim holidays and declaring this a Muslim nation, while denigrating Judeo-Christian holdiays and the WH with "ornaments" of Mao and other outrageous swine. Over and over he shows his true allegiance to our ENEMIES and does all in his illegal "power" to weaken and decimate EVERYTHING about America. Will foolish Americans EVER wake up and remove this evil America-hating deceiver and try this MONSTER for treason? How long will we continue to allow such a lying, duplicitous person to continue to complete his jihad (destruction of Western civilization from within) and achieve his nefarious goals? How long? Why do we continue on this path to self-destruction by allowing this hateful liar to bring us to complete, irrevocable ruination as he subverts the Constitution and "fiddles while Rome burns", enjoying taxpayer financed "dates" and vacations, at outrageous cost, with intent to impoverish Americans and reduce us to third-world status? Barack Hussein Obama, himself, is, indeed a terrorist, who mocks, disparages and belittles America and its citizens while bowing to our enemies, his friends. He is an abomination to this country. Why do we continue on this path of self-destruction by allowing this scum to laugh at us and lead us to total ruination while he installs himself a dictator? As "Nero fiddled while Rome burned" this traitorous usurper,deceiver mocks and disparages everything American at our complete, total, and everlasting expense. Why

I think that the problem stemmed from the Clinton presidency Era, and then it got worse with Bush. Don't really think it is Obama's problem...in terms of if he started it.

I think it's the problem of both. Both of them believed to encourage the nations who used to encourage the Terrorism. At last whats happening? After becoming stronger and stronger they started to attacked on source ( America ) itself. But the poor people ( specially Americans ) are struggling very much in this issue. Because terrorists attacks on whome? Public. Because their was a very tight security to government not for people. Government have to think about the people.
