   What I am having a hard time understanding is what does Obama think he can do about terrorism? He doesn't even used the word to talk about it. He doesn't have the slightest idea on how to run a country. He has no management skills. He is a puppet on a string. The puppeteers are the likes of Soros and others. Obama just follows orders. Our system in the states for flying and security is pretty good. There needs to be improvements, but overall the screening is good. The problem is not planes flying out of the U.S. or within the states. The problem lies within the other countries coming into the U.S. What does he think he can do about that. It is the other countries that need to change. Maybe he will try and take over the world so he can run their airports. We need to have better relations with countries that fly into the states. The state dept needs to be better at what it does. The intel community needs to be allowed to do what they do best. Get info when they need it no matter how! Obama also needs to accept that he is not good at what he is doing. He wants to shut down Gitmo! Why? It is serving a good purpose. Who cares if the bad guys try and use it as a tool to attrack. They will do the same if it is another prison. Gitmo is secure. Surrounded by the Navy and Marines. Where would these guys go if they did escape, which I don't think they could. How would any of their buddies get in and try to free them? In the states they can do all of these things and more. It has to be one of the dumbest thing he is considering. The are war prisoners not civil criminals! He should fire Holder and then fire himself for doing these absurd acts along with this stupid healthcare plan he wants everybody to accept. He and his people I feel don't care what the people of this country feel or say. He wants everything his way and is trying his hardest to get it through with the help of those two idiots in the house and senate, Pelosi and Reid. These three are more idiotic and stupid than the three stooges! Maybe he will go with the guys he sends back to Yemen. I am sure they would accept him with open arms.

   Confronting terrorists only distracts from Obama's goal of creating a bankrupt and socolist america.

   Due to the recent miss-management of intelligence information that the government had in regards to the Christmas bombing attempt, I feel that this man should be held accountable and resign from his post. How can the USA continue to make errors and say at the same time, "This is no time to point fingers."

   Come on! Step up and be a man about it!

   does it matter now? Obama has clearly shown his weakness and will be an ineffective President till 2012! He needs to stop worry about all the people with Blackberries in their hand while at the same time are looking for a handout! He needs to protect what wealth is still here in this country instead of finding more ways to give it away!

   Suggestion to the President: Keep the Guantanimo prisoners here and send Richard Heene to Yemen.

   "Generally" speaking–the NCTC failed to envision how someone paying cash for a one-way ticket to Detroit could be a threat. Nobody goes to Detroit without a guaranteed way back out. It's Detroit. The State Department failed to revoke his Visa, which they might have done with guidance provided by the NCTC. Bureacrats are the issue here, just as they are in the "glasnostic process" of Healthcare Reform. What happened to Transperancy and Open Government? I think CSPAN is turning to Tiger Woods coverage because it's easier than reporting the truth about politicians.
