I can't wait to hear his verbal response, assuming he ever gets around to giving one. "Hey, I said we're sorry. Give me a break!" I guess he was in the groove with his body surfing and couldn't give it up. Obama is our pet goat, or Islam's, take your pick.
President Obama was briefed on the Christmas Day incident during his Hawaii vacation and was receiving regular updates.
The administration said in a statement that Obama had conferred with White House counter-terrorism advisor John Brennan and National Security Council Acting Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and had instructed that "all appropriate measures be taken to increase security for air travel."
The Department of Homeland Security said passengers might see additional screening measures on domestic and international flights because of the incident and urged travelers to report any suspicious activity or behavior to law enforcement officials.
"We encourage those with future travel plans to stay in touch with their airline and to visit www.tsa.gov for updates," the department said.


When he puts away the surf board, he will issue a statement that 'we' don't use the word terrorist to describe these types. Unless it is Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin, of course!
I thank God for the passengers who took the perp down.

I imagine he was busy reading "Billy Gruff Goat" to his daughters.

Give him a break! He's been preoccupied with the IRS investigation into the possibility that Mary and Joseph may have used the birth of Jesus to slip out of Bethlehem and avoid paying their taxes.
