Quick call Obama receives an update
POTUS had a secure conference call this morning at 6:20 a.m. Hawaiian time, according to Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton, for an update on security measures after the failed attempt on Christmas to explode a device on an Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight.

The call was apparently short, as an earlier pool report said that the Obamas left for the gym at the Marine base for a morning workout at 6:33 a.m.

Burton said Obama spoke with John Brennan, his Homeland Security and Counter-terrorism Adviser, and Denis McDonough, National Security Staff Chief of Staff, and “received an update on the heightened air travel safety measures being taken to keep the American people safe and on the investigation.” He added that “the President will continue to actively monitor the situation.”

1. And the point for posting this is?
Edited on Sat Dec-26-09 07:48 PM by FrenchieCat
That once POTUS got the confirmation that not one live was in peril,
and that the Government was going to be doing their job,
as he instructed,
he went on about his business...
which wasn't to take pictures with a cake at an airport,
or fly over the airplane in an airplane,
or change the color of a warning to put the fear into millions
who are scheduled to fly in the next week,
or to read a book upside down,
or fly a bunch of folks out of the United States while closing down air space.

In otherwords, Pres. Obama is doing his job.

How about you? Are you doing your job?

5. Why attack the OP?
I see nothing nefarious about this post. The post indicates that Obama is on top of the situation.

36. Uber strict Hawaiian anti-rabies quarantine rules.
120 days in quarantine or endure two rounds of rabies vaccinations and a 120-day waiting period.

6. This is yours...
and so much not New Mexico.

It was funny when you appeared and had no avatar. It was even funnier when you chose it to be the one from New Mexico. You saw me, and I saw you, and then you decided to be from New Mexico.

Good Luck, NewLifeArea.

New Mexicans are not amused.

32. Yeah sure.
If you're really from "New Mexico", you're insulting my neighbors to the south.

I know many New Mexicans, and you, sir, aren't New Mexican.

Get on with it, NewLifeArea.

Ass.

40. Born and raised in New Mexico?
I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt and ask where you were from originally ... I guess maybe I should ask what language your parents speak?

if English isn't your first language then ok, but otherwise .... I'd be pissed at my parents if I couldn't put words together better than that.

Still you might want to polish up your English skills a bit. I'm not one of those "English only" cretins but you'll unfortunately find a lot of them in this country. And on this message board, there's a tendency to be suspicious lately, for good reason.
