Obama's lieutenants (Heads of Cabinet positions and Departments) seem to make outrageous statements that any simpleton can see through. The first egregious mis-step was on the part of Secretary Napolitano (her name reminds me of an ice cream, a mix of pink, white, and brown flavors (like Obama's mindset).
Her initial statement that all went well with DHS's methods of preventing terror attacks such as the one on a recent airline flight, was quickly retracted and modified into a politically correct statement.
The next misstep was by the head of the Department of Transportation, that everyone owning a Toyota should stop driving it until a fix can be accomplished. Obviously again retracted the next day. Has Obama hired a bunch of idiots based upon political correctness? Let's not even talk about our attorney general. Afraid to back down and turn the terrorist over to military police, he has spun this story into the success measured by events which took place prior to the detention facility at Guantanamo and the organization of military tribunals.
Can we afford these kinds of mistakes in general, and what will happen to health care? Whoops I didn't mean to give you the wrong diagnosis.
Certainly our adversaries have noticed these incompetencies. And where is congress? Buried in a dark hidden 'transparent' room masturbating over health care legislation. Strong words, not politically correct, nor tasteful, but true.......

I'd have to say that a little too much is being made of those gaffes, and that it's a bit of an overstatement to imply that Obama's cabinet members "make outrageous statements" as if that's all they do.
Neopolian's (as long as we're thinking ice cream, let's go all the way) was clearly intended to mean the system worked once the threat was known. Very poorly stated: agreed. And looking under LaHood (y'know, as in transportation), who can't help himself because he's a Republican but who also is said to be doing a good job, he said something ill-thought but the basic point wasn't all that bad: take your cars to your dealers right away.
As to terrorism trials, well, people can disagree. But, given the politics, I'd hardly call it "afraid" when making the decision to try in civil courts, the way Bush did for 319 (Bush's own claim) others. And the trope that Gitmo wasn't open yet has been debunked vis a vis KSM; and tribunals have been established since the Civil War.
Moreover, it's clear based on the comparative successes, that civil courts are more than capable of handling those guys. I simply don't see why such a thing as following US law has become such a political football.
Well, of course I do. But it speaks ill of where we're headed.
PS: what or where is SERMO?
