Obama Describes Nigerian As ‘Isolated Extremeist,’ Despite Ties To Yemen

President Barack Obama, in his first public comments on the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit, described the suspect as “an isolated extremist,” despite reports that the 23-year-old Nigerian had been trained in Yemen, a country he visited twice.

The Associated Press, quoting a Yemeni government official, said Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab lived in Yemen for two extended periods of time -- a year, from 2004-2005 and again from August-December this year. He apparently was in Yemen a few weeks before the attempt to blow Flight 253 out of the sky over Michigan.

A statement posted online Monday by Al-Qaeda in Yemen said its “manufacturing sector” had provided Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab with the explosives he took onboard the aircraft.

President Obama, in recounting what happened in the air over Michigan on Christmas day, used the word “allegedly” to describe the attempted bombing.

Al_Qaeda is CIA. Wake up and smell the facism pal.

This guy is a dope. He was escorted onto the plane by a "well dressed man". Where is the investigation into the government agent who placed him onto the plane?

The so called terrorists are idiots and extremely bad at their jobs. I'm not afraid. You are not afraid. The terrorists suck.

Unfortunately, President Obama is so far over his head, that he has become the best ally that the Muslim radicals have.

He is sorely lacking in the area of acceptable leadership traits and characteristics, and the world is beginning to recognize it, particularly our enemies.

I could not scream any louder in November 08..This guy is not up for the job. He has no clue.. This is exactly why you don't elect a community organizer from chicago. Al Quida and other terror groups are not afraid of Rahm Emanuel and the gangster politics that they are getting away with here. He is going to get americans killed. It is absolutely amazing that everytime something of this magnitude happens he disappears for 2-3 days, sends out gibbs and other talking heads who screw it all up. Gibbs said on sunday that there was 500,000 people on the watch list how can we watch them all. Well hey dumbass, there are 300,000,000 people, who you have to watch and make sure that health care is administered after the take over proposed by congress now. Secratary of homeland security said the system worked. What part exactly worked? I am glad on part that didn't work was the terrorist's detonator. If it had worked, we would be picking up the remains of 300 americans spread all over michigan and would be heading in another recession. I cannot pray for 2012 to get here quick enough. Can't we put Clinton back in and supply him with an endless line of call girls working their way through college. At least with him, he kinda knew what he was doing...

The actual quote...

"Those plotting against us seek not only to undermine our security, but also the open society and the values that we cherish as Americans," he said. "This incident, like several that have preceded it, demonstrates that an alert and courageous citizenry are far more resilient than an isolated extremist."

See the first part... those plotting against us. By isolated he means one guy on a plane. He acknowledges the connection to Al-Qaeda.

This guy will be mirandized and given a lawyer and will have his day in court. This is great we can try all of al quida in our civian court. You see obama, by giving them what they want it doesn't make them like us. It actually makes more of them, kinda like what you said GW bush was doing. As long as you think these are just a few muslim wingnuts that acting out, we will always be at risk. This is a larger movement than you will aknowledge and they must be crushed militarily.

4:45PM Let me see if I can help in clarifying concern over Pres. Obama,s third day response to the terriorist's attempted attack.

Primarily, it is his remarks dealing with "Those plotting against us...". For crying out loud, they are at war with us!

Does he not recognize this, or is he unable to accept it? Plotting against us...rubbish. Pres. Obama is living in a pre 911 world and he is only increasing risk to our National security by his limp remarks and actions.

Just a thought. Terroist supported by illegal Drug sales. Gangsters / Mobsters control illegal Drug sales. Chicago Gangsters rule there & now Washington DC. Terroist attempting to govern the Middle East controls illegal drugs coming out of that region. Supply & Demand. You don't eliminate your supply. Obama wants World control like the Politics in Chicago. Community Organizers control through mind control and dependency. Am I connecting the wrong dots. Am I reading history wrong from previous World Leaders such as Hitler and Stalin as starters. Did they not govern by control of and deceitfulness to their people. Would any History Teachers that support OBAMA disagree with history?

Legally, you have to say allegedly until he is convicted. Our alleged president at least knows that much.
