U.S.: Mwah mwah mwah: Obama admits his staff blew the terror attack

  • We dodged a bullet but just barely. It was averted by brave individuals, not because the system worked, and that is not acceptable.
  • President Barack Obama • Speaking with his staff today in the White House just before he made a speech on the Christmas terror attack – the one where he got the Underwear Bomber in his stocking. Obama pulled no punches and totally admitted it was a screw-up by his staff, one that they’re working on. source

    How gracious of him to blame his staff. I guess all that “the buck stops here” bunk is out the window now that it’s an election year.

    @Tom: Um, how would anyone blame Obama, one man, for a man bent on destruction’s getting on a plane half a world away? I don’t care who the president is, or what party he belongs to, but stopping an incident like that one requires an entire system to work… not the actions of one man. He’s a president, not Superman.
