9/11 commission chairman says would-be plane bomber 'did us a favor'

The Republican chairman of the Bush Administration's 9/11 Commission declared Sunday that the would-be-terrorist who tried to blow up a plane en route to Detroit "probably did us a favor."
The GOP chairman's quote raised eyebrows; by his logic, the Sept. 11, 2001 attackers may also have "done us a favor" by drawing US attention to extremism in Afghanistan.
Thomas Kean, a former governor of New Jersey, made the remarks on CNN's State of the Union Sunday talk show.
The onetime governor said Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, the 23-year-old Nigerian who failed to detonate an incendiary device on a passenger plane, “probably did us a favor.”
“We had an administration which was not focused, as it should be, on terrorism and that’s understandable,” Kean told CNN. “They were focused on health care and global warming and the economy. That’s very understandable.

Bipartisan Deficit CommissionFeb 06, 2010
Last month, a bipartisan commission went down in flames in the Senate after 7 republicans who sponsored the bill voted against it. Now, Obama is putting together a bipartisan commission and the republicans are still complaining it's not good enough. Obama is telling them to come to the table and present their ideas. They are saying no. And then accusing him of not listening. The problem seems to be that the republicans expect Obama to follow their platform (tax breaks for big busines ...

Deficit Commission Final VoteDec 03, 2010
Guess it's back to the drawing board. It's true that a commission that began with only limited authority failed in its most significant goal, which was to win at least 14 votes among the 18 members. Fourteen votes were needed to send the package to Congress as an official recommendation and force a vote on the proposals. It's also true that prominent members of Congress on the committee took a walk on the commission report. That group included Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), who will ...

Washington, D.C., swamp is being drained as promised, look no further than the Federal Communications Commission and intrepid new Chairman Ajit Pai.
