Which of these five points best exemplify why Obama should get an “F” for protecting Americans?

1. Abdulmutallab’s father spoke several times to the US Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria and visited a CIA officer there to tell him, apparently, that he feared his son was a jihadist being trained in Yemen.
3. It wasn’t just the meeting with the father. According to CBS, “as early as August of 2009 the Central Intelligence Agency was picking up information on a person of interest dubbed ‘The Nigerian’ suspected of meeting with ‘terrorist elements’ in Yemen”.
4. In his studied desire to be the unBush by responding coolly to events like this, Obama is dangerously close to failing as a leader. Yes, it is good not to shoot from the hip and make broad assertions without the facts.
5. There has been a pattern developing with the Obama administration trying to minimise terrorist attacks.

Of the ones you listed, I’d have to go with #2.
All of the above.
Ignoring CIA breifs that detail terrorist attacks because he’s on vacation…oh wait.
well then Bush should get a double F- considering many people died on sept. 11.
Americans should be able to protect themselves, shouldn’t they? Why do we subscribe to this notion that the President is our protector?
You nervous little sheep are just begging for tyranny, aren’tcha?
what happened to #2?
I give him an F for not pulling our troops out of Iraq (like you want him too)
Not repealing the patriot act
Not shutting down Gitmo
Not changing the tax system
Not giving more rights to Gays
Wow all these things the Con’s love…go figure.
i’m torn between 4 & 5…. but the important part is most Americans agree that Obama gets an “F”
Death toll underwear bomber = 0
Death toll 911 = 3,000+
None of the above. If you are so hard pressed to place blame then let blame everyone involved.*
1 – How in any way does this exemplify Obama’s incompetence? You can’t alert the president over every possible terrorist – then he would never get anything done. If anything this is the incompetence of the CIA.
2 – Learn to count
3 – Once again, incompetence of the CIA. True, the CIA lies within the executive branch but Obama doesn’t oversee the day-to-day activities of the organization.
4 – What exactly are you trying to say. You really aren’t backing anything you say with facts or such.
5 – Trying to minimize terrorist attacks are a good thing. Do you want more? Obama ordered airport security to be beefed up. I say that was a step in the right direction.
All in all, none of those qualify for an “F”.
All of the above. Young Mister 0bama gets an “I” for incomplete, he has a long way to go. The first step would to acknowledge that Napolitano is as inept as he is, and replace her with someone with a military background. Francis the Talking Mule would be a better choice.
2.
doctors DO have medications for PMDD these days, you know. you should ask about them.
The first answer had me on the floor good one #2 HA! HA! HA! HA! IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION?actually you brainiacs it was Clinton who was president when the 911 pilot were in training to bring down the WTC,NOT BUSH! It was Clinton who was the commander and chief when they had OSAMA bin laden in their sights and could have take him out,but he said not to,it might ruin the arms sale from America to the saudis! let see BUSH Sr. went in and rescued kuwait ,what did the democrats do for 8 YRS let saddam run around costing AMERICANS billions the same that it cost BUSH Jr.in fact some say it was Clinton who started the recession we are in today! so from when bush sr to when bush became president ,the DEMOCRATS had no hand in this war?and the thousands who died?had Clinton done what Bush did he would have saved thousands of lives but did he?NOOOOOOOOOO!
His Majesty is exceeding my expectations to failure. He’s an arrogant, clueless, LIAR and he’s destroying what’s left of the economy.
This terrorist attack is on his watch!
All of them and the scary part is it is just the tip of the iceberg.
