Holy Mackinaw! MoDo Slams 'The One'

You know the bloom is really off the rose when New York Times diva Maureen Dowd writes this (after taking a few reflexive and obligatory swipes at Dubya and "Rummy," of course):
...Before he left for vacation, Obama tried to shed his Spock mien and juice up the empathy quotient on jobs. But in his usual inspiring/listless cycle, he once more appeared chilly in his response to the chilling episode on Flight 253, issuing bulletins through his press secretary and hitting the links. At least you have to seem concerned.
On Tuesday, Obama stepped up to the microphone to admit what Janet Napolitano (who learned nothing from an earlier Janet named Reno) had first tried to deny: that there had been “a systemic failure” and a “catastrophic breach of security.”

But in a mystifying moment that was not technically or emotionally reassuring, there was no live video and it looked as though the Obama operation was flying by the seat of its pants...
Great--we've got the O-bot flying by the seat of his pants while the jihadis are filling pants seats full of explosives. All in all a most disheartening state of affairs as we head into a new decade.
