I am going to be here in a few what about you? Click the Image. Our President will be answering some questions submitted via some Americans via YOUTUBE @ 1:45 Pm EST today. Come and take a listen to see what is on our fellow Americans minds since the State of the Union address.
It just amazes me with all the spinning going on about of all things President Obama’s silence in the matter.
I knew what he was doing and he did mandate immediately while on vacation to the Director of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, to increase all security measures on air transportation. He also cut his vacation short to address this important issue.
I knew what he was doing gathering information and planning his strategy to be able to put in place a plan that could be executed immediately beyond what he had already mandated. We as were part of his strategy to let us know what is going on. Remember transparency? This is something that you need to act on quickly with great deliberation of thought a plan of action. Not in a panic and all willly-nilly. When you panic you don’t think straight. He is just at concerned as we all are about this.
I can just imagine when he received the information that it took everything for him to be calm. I know he asked the question that we all have been asking, “How could a man from anywhere get on a plan that is on our al-Qaida terrorist list not be on the “no-fly” list. I am sure he also asked why is there a no fly list separate from the al-Qaida list? Oh good grief. Dangerous is dangerous and why are we separating different types of danger when it smells of al-Qaida from experience we know it is all bad take no chances.
Look we are targeted and at war just as President Obama stated in this video. We have to make sure that what we do with security can be executed and heightened on all fronts. Communication is key. President Obama speaks to his accountability as well as our governmental intelligence pertaining to this issue. So let the man do his job again I say back off you nay saying spinners so that he can do what is needed to be done.
He found out why it happened and is putting stricter measurements in place so get ready when you fly. Screenings are going to be tougher and so are the delays.
Even though he stated that he is not interested in the blame but he did find fault here and I know some heads are going to roll. What really gets me is that when our past President Bush was told about the 911 incident he sat still in his chair in the front of an elementary class and continued to just sit there, nothing was halted he didn’t cut anything short just sat there.
Did you hear any of that spinning going on about how fast he reacted to that terrorist attack? I didn’t hear anything about his response time. So please step back again nay saying spinners if that is all you can talk about is President Obama’s response time then I am glad you are not on the Homeland Security Board I could imagine what your focus would be.
Earlier last year President Obama instituted a new program for federal employees that solicited the ideas of federal employees that would save the federal government money and perform better.
After many entrants the first S.A.V.E award has gone to Nancy Fichtner.
Her idea was very simple she felt that
Nancy Fichtner from Colorado thinks that veterans leaving VA hospitals should be able to take the medicine they’ve been using home with them instead of it being thrown away when they’re discharged.
Now that the White House Christmas Tree is up it’s time for guest and the first would be Oprah for her Premiere Christmas show with the Obamas last night.
Oprah Winfrey’s Christmas Premier show last night was a nice break in the staunch regime of the white house schedule. Allowing Americans to come the the White House and share President and Firs Lady Obama’s first Christmas in the White House.
As I watched is was a refreshing change from the daily duties that are performed at the White House. Of course Bo was a pleasure he is just a well cared for animal and of course well loved. Being that it is my home I felt right at home and welcomed.
The best statement that I like was that President Obama stated that, “This is not the President’s and his families home rather it is the people’s home. He is just renting”
What moved me mos was the talk he had with Oprah about the Oval Room and how important it was and intense because it was were he signed and will sign many pieces of legislature. The most solemn was when he stated that he signs papers to let families know that their loved ones have been killed in battle in the war. I could see the pain and hurt. He hates this war and what it does to people and their lives. He would rather construct and build than destroy. He does realize that war is a part of maintaining and securing our freedom and liberties unfortunately but none the less he became very sadden when he spoke of this act that he performs of the Oval Room.
Of course you know that Oprah was going to ask about his feelings of the war and why he decided to send more troops. He was ready believe me he has been asked this and he is a reader of blogs, newspapers, etc to be up on the news as to what is going on can you say J.F. Kennedy he was the same way adamant about what was going on in the country.
President Obama stated what he did when he spoke to us about he decision a few weeks ago. That he disliked this and had a hard time coming to this decision but in the long run safety for the world he and our allies felt it was necessary for another 18 months to do what is needed to train the Afghanistan forces then get the heck out of Afghanistan.
While war is beckoning abroad there is a flicker of happiness, joy and thankfulness in the holidays.
