Et tu Obama?

"President Barack Obama, who is on vacation in Hawaii, conferred by telephone with national security and counter- terrorism officials on the investigation and “heightened air travel safety measures,” according to a statement from White House spokesman Bill Burton.
“The president will continue to actively monitor the situation,” Burton said."

It had high hopes for this Obama dude. It seemed he would be the voice of reason. I was wrong. Some deranged individual very unsuccessfully tries to blow up an airplane and his administration goes completely George W. on our ass.

Passengers need to remain seated for the last hour of the flight...

Really? That will help? These kind of knee-jerk reactions I would have expected from GW, but not from this administration.
