Politico's Mike Allen:
White House Bulletin: “Media coverage last night and this morning reflects an effort by conservatives to cast President Obama as soft on terror -- criticizing not only the White House‘s response to the recently foiled attack, but on the entire array of its anti-terror policies. Referring to a ‘political firestorm brewing in Washington,’ ABC World News reported that on Wednesday, ‘the President‘s critics clearly sensed vulnerability.’ … To the question ‘Do you really feel like Obama‘s made the less safe?’, meanwhile, Marc Thiessen, a former Bush aide, told ABC, ‘I absolutely do.’ Newt Gingrich also weighed in, saying, ‘Trying to place American lives first should not be political. I don‘t understand why senior Democrats wouldn‘t want to have exactly the same values.’ ABC was the only network newscast to note the political sniping over terrorism in Washington. NBC Nightly News did quote Michael Chertoff, Bush-era DHS secretary, saying, ‘The bottom line is we have the technology. We just don‘t have the will. And that‘s why we‘re finding ourselves in this situation.’”
WH Comm Dir Dan Pfeiffer's in Hawaii - pale as a Ku Klux Klan costume -
working overtime spinning Obama's bravado while dismissing former veep Dick Cheney's accusations that Obama's "pretending" we're at war with terrorists and the usual Washington blame game.

There isn't an Arab or African that should be allowed on a US bound plane without being interrogated and strip searched. Let's cut out the privacy crap and get real about terrorism.
