Barack Obama gets an 'F' for protecting Americans

Bush was in office less than 9 months and 911 happened. Has anything like 911 happened since Obama's watch? I think not. Lets not forget that since bush stole the presidency he had a formal letter by the cia that al qaeda was to attack the us for months before 911 and did nothing other than go on vacations to Texas. A state that that looser was not even a native of.

Next time anyone wants to compare democrats to republicans, just remember that 911 HAPPENED ON REPUBLICANS WATCH AND THEY WERE WARNED, but they decided to go on vacation.

Republicans can pretend that this is not a fact but the truth is that it is!!!!

Turns out Airline security falls under homeland security and if they fail then Obama fails. We also need to try and be one step ahead of terrorists with technology and techniques for sniffing out bombs and preventing attacks. If Bush did such a poor job then why is Obama not doing anything to continue the upkeep of Homeland security which is what the airlines fall under? He's been in office almost a year and I have yet to see anything that indicates progress.

I agree. It's like republicans and conservatives can conveniently pretend like 911 and the shoe bomber attack did not happen on their watch. What a sad joke they want to play!

This is just silly. Zero Deaths on American soil by foreign elements does not constitute an "F". Comparing Obama's record to GWB's is just not sensible. Hating Obama is no excuse to go posting ridiculous statements.

has the dept. of homeland security breached it's own boarders now that it has got to go so far as to amsterdam?

This really is about President Obama failing to project that mean, tough, and macho "Big Daddy" attitude the conservative America can't seem to live without. We don't care.

To compare what one retard did to the souls killed in 9/11 disgraces their memory even more than bush managed to. That and you can not argue that our security system is crappy and not strong enough AND that the Obama administration had 100% knowledge of the attack from the crappy not good enough system.

He could have warned us? Wha? Because Obama knew the guy was getting on that plane but decided to have a cheeseburger instead of warning America, right? Whoa. Somebody hand me a shovel, it's getting pretty deep...

There is a difference between being the President of the United States and being the direct supervisor of a specific dept in the State Dept and being the head of security in Amersterdam.

Just being President doesn't automatically mean that Obama "knows" everything that is happening all over the world nor is he directly and personally responsible for every event that occurs.

Uh oh. Some guy at the State Dept just took an HOUR long lunch but marked his timecard as only 1/2 an hour!!!!

Clearly President Obama should resign from office immediately for allowing that kind of FRAUD to occur under his watch!!!!

(Fanatic Obama-haters....do you see how ridiculous that kind of "logic" sounds?)

"In that key respect, Obama failed on Christmas Day, just as President George W. Bush failed on September 11th"

Fuck that. I completely agree with Bishopobispo, it's ridiculous to compare one guy burning his leg in a failed attack to the thousands of people who died when planes crashed into the World Trade towers. As a person with logic and reason I'm surprised at the analogy, but as a New Yorker I'm downright insulted!

"Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither."
-Benjamin Franklin

The world we live in is dangerous. Americans need to get used to the idea.

PDB-Aug 2001 " Bin Laden determined to attack within the U.S using aircraft" that warning turned out real good, huh? The Patriot Act has done nothing but drive these security agencies further apart and not sharing info. I remember the last Admin. using the same excuses " the last admin. this and that... U.S.S Cole", typical bullshit. Does anyone remember " we were misled by the C.I.A" after the invasion of Iraq, then the president giving the CIA director Tenent the highest honor given to a civilian. Fortunatly no one died this time compared to all the lives that where lost during Bush's time. Think about it 9/11, Afganistan (civilian and ally), Iraq (civilian and ally), Katrina (black & poor folk) not to mention lost limbs, burnt flesh and brain disorders ("cause you go to war with what you got not what you want") I'm pissed over this lapse in security too. The Republicans are blood thirsty, greedy, bigoted idiots while the Democrats are a bunch of pussies that won't stick up for themselves. I've never seen a political party so quick to accuse a sitting president for shit not his fault as much as now. He has been so de-legitimized, just cause he is black, it can't be because of his liberal politics, cause he is more middle than anyone made him out to be. F#ckem all! All of our leaders should be prison raped except for the ones who may enjoy it (they know who I'm talking about). Greed, money, fame and power is what drives our elected officials. If you think this is some drug-fueled tirade you would be partially right, I get this way when I do "bong hits" and watch FUX News. Peace

Nice try, no cigar. The president of the U.S. is not in charge of airport security in Amsterdam.

Americans wouldn't need to be protected if we weren't dicking around in the Middle East for the past sixty years.

F = fraud, and justly graded

I am sure Obama grades himself higher than this. I turn the radio/news off when I hear him say that he will do this and he will do that, instead of saying we...a prime display of his narcissism. But when the time of accountability comes, he scapegoats his cabinet or the previous administration. He kind of reminds me of myself 15-20 years ago, when I young (15-20 yo), dumb, and full of crap.

So wait. Are we seriously comparing a guy melting his balls off to the death of thousands of Americans over eight years ago?

Analogy FAIL.

He gets a 'F' because there is no grade lower.
