If Obama Was George W
By Brian Kirwin | Friday, December 25th, 2009 | MultimediaWhile Obama is enjoying the Hawaiian sun, a terrorist attacks a plane landing in Detroit.
The left and the media would incessantly whine when George W. Bush would work from Texas, where his ranch had state-of-the-art secure videoconferencing, when nothing was going on.
An attempted terrorist attack, and we get “White House statements” from “officials” and the left silently says ok.
Should we expect the left to hold Obama to the same standards they held Bush? Certainly we should hope that some editorial board (Virginian-Pilot…ahem) will criticize our President for hitting the waves in Hawaii during the worst recession in a generation while a terrorist attack was attempted in American airspace!
Who are we kidding?

Boy, ain’t that the truth!
Brian, this will in some, way, shape or form be blamed on Bush. This is their MO to deflect inexperience, stupidity, outright arrogance and responsibility. The left is holding their breath on terrorism as they are increasinging becoming owners of not our, but their country. But as they are starting to find out, with ownership comes responsibility and Obama doesn’t get it yet.
[...] When we had that attempted terrorist attack over Detroit, Obama was hitting the Hawaii waves. [...]
