  1. This shows some of the good work she's done earlier tis year.
  2. Any number of articles for which you can search state that he was on a terrorist watch list for 2 years. That should have been enough to rescind a visa and put him on a no-fly list. Obama has already made statements supporting that they had enough info. Early investigations into the Christmas Day jet bomb have uncovered ‘systemic’ security flaws, Barack Obama said on Tuesday. ‘It is becoming clear that the system … is not sufficiently up to date,’ he said. ‘A systemic failure has occurred and I consider that totally unacceptable.’ The U.S President said information passed on to U.S. intelligence by Abdulmutallab’s father should have been acted on to stop him boarding the plane. He had been concerned about his son’s behaviour and alerted both the U.S. and Nigerian authorities. Mr Obama said the U.S. would have to act quickly to remedy the flaws in the security system.

  3. I consider common sense a science and that leans hard to the right.
  4. - Why did it take President Obama eight months to actually nominate someone to head the TSA? Same for the CBP. Because Republicans have their panties in a knot about his guy wanting to allow TSA to unionzie. Let's see, allowing them to unionize would give the them right to strike which means the entire air travel system could come to a grinding halt over a labor contract. I'd say it's a well founded objection. - Why did Obama automatically brand this failed terror incident as an "isolated extremist"? Because it was one extremist acting alone. One extremist trained by our old friends in Al Quaeda. Sure, isolated. - Why did the White House send HSS Janet Napolitano and White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs out on the Sunday news programs to say "the system worked."? Because the system did work, it was airport security that failed. Sorry Charlie, they had enough on this guy for a while to rescind the visa. - Why did Napolitano then go on television Monday morning to say that "the system didn't work."? Because unswayables like you would have a !@#$ing conniption if she didn't act "tough on terror." My god, have you listened to this women speak? Does she give you confidence that she is competent in her job? Not many would say that. She may be Obama's worst cabinet choice. What are her qualificaions for this job? She's a big-time lightweight
  5. There is no reason to be high or low on the move. Only the results matter. We'll need a year to make any judgement. Let's spare ourselves all the energy needed to prematurely grade the front office moves, coaching hires, draft, free agent signings and the pre-eason.
  6. Does Janet Napoleatano (however she spells it) make you feel safe? She makes you feel confident that under her leadership Homeland Security will improve? You yourself as President would have looked at all the possible candidates for the job and would have picked her?
  7. I won't go to great lengths to defend teachers but the biggest problem I see in schools is parents. We measure the quality of schools usually by standardized test scores and graduation rates. The numbers for inner city schools are usually horrible compared to suburban schools even when they teach the same subjects from the same textbooks. Big difference between the two are parents and the expectations they set for their kids and the supervision the parents provide. This also effects the hiring process. Quite frankly, many teachers don't want the inner city jobs and not because of money. Personal responsibility on the part of parents and adults is our greatest opportunity to improve education IMO and you can apply the same to nearly every social problem.
  8. Oh yes, and preventative medicine for the heart starts with what you put in your mouth, how much of it and how much time you don't spend on the couch.
  9. Agree. Parity in the NFL? I don't see it except among the middle 1/3 of the teams or so and many games are not close to within 2-3 plays unless all of those are scores. Bills are at least 7 starters (difference makers) and a bunch of coaches (more difference makers) from being a contender. You're not getting that in less than 3 drafts and assuming you make good coaching choices too.
  10. Yes, but that doesn't mean we should allow it to be that easy.
  11. My point is how easy it is to board a plane with an explosive. If a bunch of terrorists want to blow up a bunch of planes in a well orchestrated fashion, I believe it can be done and this recent incident is evidence of that.
  12. Yes, those in the airport failed. From what I'm reading, we had info on this guy and the visa should have been revoked on that alone. He should not have been sold a ticket in the first place. Apparently we don't have the technology in place to identify these people and deny them plane tickets or any other access into our country. These jokers love to blow up planes and it looks to me like they could blow up 50 of them in one day if they planned accordingly. Scary. At what point do we hold the government of their citizenship responsible? I know Nigeria is a wreck, but if I'm the President, I hold that government responsible as well.
  13. She's worse than that. If you were the President, wouldn't you want a tough minded and experienced person in this job? Someone with a military or intelligence background rather than a career lawyer and politician who has an open border mindset? Janet has to be one of Obama's worst appointees in terms of qualifications. Another Clinton retread who leans very far left. Al Quaeda and company must be laughing their asses off at her. She's an embarrassing pick for this position.
  14. Marv's drafts would look a lot better if he had chosen a different head coach.
  15. How the fukk did we elect this guy? He's turned into a fukking embarrassment to our country and all that support him. The clueless remain the clueless but they are committed to their own incompetence.
  16. He'll only renew it based on the recent events. Otherwise, he'd wave goodbye to it because Obama is all about social and economic justice for the unproductive class. He has no clue about national security, economics or foreign relations. Not a fukking clue.
  17. It's been more than 20 years since the Bills were this irrelevant. The league would not even know they were gone if they disappeared right now.
  18. TO would never re=sign with the Bills even if the Bills wanted him which they won't.
  19. All the wreckless and poorly designed spending of this Congress and President doesn't have you wide awake? I don't care what side of the aisle you lean, everybody should be alarmed at the money congress is spending. Borrowed money.
  20. I'm still waiting for anyone from the left side on this board to make a sound defense with facts and numbers of Obama's policies. The President has complete control over his own actions and decisions. Being dealt a tough hand does not support poor decisions and solutions to the hand you're dealt. Dick Jauron inherited a bad team, made many decisions in nearly 4 years that you could argue left the team in even worse shape.
  21. Forget the previous 8 years. Over and done. That doesn't excuse Obama's wreckless fiscal policies and his assault on the productive class as he pushes his agenda for social and economic justice no matter what the cost. As for the FAA party, it just shows that his message or responsibility to Wall Street has not been equally applied within his own organization, the Federal Government.
  22. So you think it's OK to reward those that came here illegally with US citizenship?
  23. Why would we reward those that came here illegally and have already broken our laws? On principle alone you don't do that. If we give them amnesty, should we also give thieves amnesty and not prosecute them and allow them to keep what they have stolen?
