Tue, Dec 22 2009WASHINGTON, Jan 5 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama told his security chiefs on Tuesday that the botched Christmas Day plane bombing was the result of a screw up by U.S. intelligence and that the country had barely dodged disaster, according to a quotation released by the White House.

"This was a screw up that could have been disastrous," the president said during a meeting in the White House situation room, according to the White House media office. "We dodged a bullet but just barely. It was averted by brave individuals not because the system worked and that is not acceptable. While there will be a tendency for finger pointing, I will not tolerate it."

The bolded part is my favorite. Has Lord Zero done anything--anything--else for the past year except point fingers at the Bush Admistration for everything from the economy to athlete's foot?

A week and a half after the fact, well-rested from his Hawaiian vacation, he now has a firm grasp on the grossly obvious ... for the moment, anyway.

Yet his own bozos have been pointing fingers at the intelligence agencies.  I guess he means he won't tolerate pointing fingers at him.

While there will be a tendency for finger pointing at me, I will not tolerate it.

Obama doesn't know how to fix problems, only blame. 

I swear, the word "accountability" isn't just a punchline with that administration, it's a joke.

Accountability: The measure of speed at which one can count corruption dollars.

All this time I thought accountability was seeing how fast you could throw someone under the bus
