Buck Stopping? Surely You Jest!

Obama: Human, systemic failure to blame in terror attempt
(CNN) -- Moments after President Obama said a "mix of human and systemic failures" allowed a man to try to bomb a passenger jet on Christmas Day, federal agencies said they had done all they could.

"A systemic failure has occurred, and I consider that totally unacceptable," Obama told reporters Tuesday during his vacation in Hawaii, referring to what authorities allege was Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab's failed attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines plane preparing to land in Detroit, Michigan.

Okay, that's certainly better than Napolitano's comment about the system working. However, as usual, 0bama has to go one step further in the blame game:
The airport security system created after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States was "not sufficiently up to date to take full advantage of the information we collect and knowledge we have," Obama said.

It's a very subtle dig, to be sure, but 0bama is clearly trying to blame Bush for the recent Nigerian underoo bomber. He intimates that it's the system that was put in place after 9/11 that failed, not his administration's year-long ostrich act of jamming our collective heads in the sand and pretending that terrorism does not exist. What's telling is that the same partisan hacks that will carry this water for the big "0" are the same ones claiming that Bush was solely responsible for the 9/11 attacks...

Remember the advice from Hopper: First rule of leadership: Everything is your fault.

That is all.

My Dad used to tell me, The better part of being an adult is taking responsibility for your actions.

pResident pissypanties has not shown he is an adult, as EVERYTHING is Bushes fault.

The typical leftist seems to be a two year old with a wet diaper screaming "mine"! and "I didn't do it"! And, is in desperate need of a spanking...

Blaming bush is the standard liberal tactic. they absolutely must shirk personal responsibility at every opportunity.

Maybe if they spent more time on security, and less on trying to nationalize health care something useful might be accomplished.

I guess he figured since he went around the world bowing and apologizing to everyone, that no one would try to pick on us.
