Just visit any political blog, select an article, and read the comments section. You will find that the “noisemakers” are out in force. “Noisemakers” are folks employed by Leftist organizations, such as Axelrod’s people, to post comments for the purpose of derailing any actual conversation on the website.

And the message is out. The Christmas Bomber can’t be bad because the Shoe Bomber happened on Bush’s watch. Maybe they are actually this stupid, Axelrod included. But the comparison flies in the face of the facts.

The Shoe Bomber was caught in 2002. When he was caught, the Bush White House had the pedal to the metal as it ramped up the war on terror. Afghanistan had been invaded. Thousands of Taliban, radical Muslim terrorists, had been killed and the Bush government was putting in place wire tap measures that would save many lives. IN OTHER WORDS, it was clear that Bush was doing his best to defeat the jihad against the West.

THE DIFFERENCE TODAY is that Obama has no energy for the war on terror and, in fact, tells us all the time that he doubts that radical Muslim terrorists exist. We don’t trust Obama to lead the war on terror. We are afraid. That is why the Christmas Bomber event has a popular effect that is totally different from the Shoe Bomber event. We fear that our sheriff is gun shy. Worse, we fear that he cannot bring himself to do what is necessary, kill radical Islamic terrorists. We know he cannot bring himself to execute KSM, though he has the legal right to do so. KSM should be turned over to Ms. Burlingame whose brother died on 9/11.

Our fears are multiplied when Obama releases 100+ captured terrorists to Iran. That is nutty.

IN SUMMARY, the popular response to the handling of the Christmas by Obama, Napolitano, and the latter’s minions is so very negative because the tone of the Obama administration tells us that Obama will become even lesss agressive in prosecuting the war on terror and in protecting Americans from their declared enemies, radical Muslim terrorists.
