AP's Jennifer Loven: Obama Administration's Response To Terror Attempt "Raised Disturbing Questions About Presidential Response In A Time Of Crisis"

Jennifer Loven writes an AP analysis piece that says the the Obama administration's "claim that 'the system worked' after a failed aircraft bombing wasn't quite as jolting as President George W. Bush's 'Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job' when New Orleans was sinking under deadly Hurricane Katrina. But both raised disturbing questions about presidential response in a time of crisis...Amid those questions, administration officials’ repeated statements Sunday that 'the system worked' were jarring. They made it sound like the administration doesn’t get it, like it is paying too much attention to political fallout and too little to public fears...For Obama, still short of one year in office, his narrative, critical or otherwise, isn’t set yet. Nonetheless, rumblings keep resurfacing about emotional distance, even coldness. Whether it’s Wall Street bonuses or terrorist near-disaster, people wonder whether he feels as they do or ever acts out of passion." Tweet
