The muted response, allies said, was aimed at denying al Qaeda a propaganda victory, and at demonstrating how little the terrorists can now disrupt Americans’ lives. “The president and his team have done a good job at handling the situation given the competing interests at play. He’s been forceful without the bellicose chest bumping of the last administration,” said Jim Manley, the chief spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “One thing he’s got going for him is Republicans have no credibility on this issue when their sending out former Vice President Cheney you know they’ve hit the bottom of the barrel.”

But the listlessness of an initial response remains a puzzle, coming as it did during the same week Obama rushed off of the golf course in the middle of a game, his presidential motorcade screaming down a Hawaii highway at top speed to deliver one of his golf partners to the house where the friend’s son had cut his chin on a surfboard.
What are the lives of 300 commoners when compared with the chinny-chin-chin of a noble?

Took a while: President Barack Obama says the Nigerian suspect in the Christmas day airline bomb plot has ties to an al Qaeda group. Duhhh...
Gingrich gets right down to the point. This guy is still very good when he wants it (not always, but hey, better than most others).

As for Gingrich's "competence" comment, I do believe he underestimates Obamakles. What makes Newt think Baracky is working for mom, freedom, apple pie, and that old-fashioned Lincolnesque American way?
Gingrich is playing it straight, and hitting hard, without going into psychoanalysis or whatnot. At that level of name recognition, that's the only way to go. Knuckledragging Neanderthals, on the other hand, have more latitude to speculate. Right?
Gingrich's problem is name recognition...
