Who knew Obama was going to be as incompetent as Bush?

You’d think that since Barack Obama was raised in the radical Islamic jungles of Hawaii, he might know a thing or two about the people that hate us for our freedoms. Evidently he’s just as incompetent as his predecessor, George W. Bush. When al Qaeda was taking out the World Trade Center and putting a huge dent in the Pentagon, Bush was sitting in a classroom reading My Pet Goat to school kids. When al Qaeda was trying to attack us on Christmas Day with a Nigerian’s tighty-whities, Obama was vacationing in Hawaii.

That’s OK though, because Obama has a team in place that can handle crisis with or without him. For instance, the person in charge of TSA is none other than… wait… oh, that’s right. We don’t have someone in charge of TSA. Though Obama chose Errol Southers to head the Transportation Security Agency, a lone Republican Senator from South Carolina is blocking the appointment. Everyone knows that a Republican Senator is more powerful than the President of the United States, right? What’s Obama supposed to do, put pressure on this lone Republican Senator to stop blocking the appointment?

That sounds like too much work, plus that Hawaiian vacation isn’t going to take itself.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who’s only qualification for the job seems to be that she dresses like a man, spoke to CNN’s Candy Crowley two days after the Christmas Day attack and said that the one thing she wanted to point out was that the “system worked.”

Really?

The system did not work. The system failed and failed big. A Nigerian national who’s father told the U.S. State Department that his son has ties to Islamic radicals was allowed to board an airplane destined for the United States. He purchased his one-way ticket with cash. He had no luggage. He requested a seat which happened to be directly over the wings and the fuel tanks.

The only reason the attack did not take place is because Abdul Farouk Abdul Mutallab was evidently too stupid to light his jockey shorts correctly.

So either Secretary Janet Napolitano was lying when she said the system worked or she is just too stupid to realize that the system failed. Either reason is grounds for her immediate firing.

Maybe when Obama returns from his vacation, he will go ahead and fire her. And maybe the Baltimore Orioles will win the World Series this year.

To say I’m disappointed with Barack Obama is a huge understatement. Whether it’s health care reform or the military escalation in Afghanistan, he comes off looking like a rank amateur.

Homeland security is no different.
