In the aftermath of the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner on Christmas day, we've learned a number of things: that Republicans, while burnishing their Party of No creds, voted against funding the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), that two of the al Qaeda leaders allegedly behind the plot were released by the Bush administration into an "art therapy rehabilitation program," and that there is no permanent head of the TSA because of Jim DeMint (R-SC):
An attempt to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day would be all-consuming for the administrator of the Transportation Security Administration — if there was one.
The post remains vacant because Sen. Jim DeMint , R- S.C. , has held up President Barack Obama's nominee in opposition to the prospect of TSA workers joining a labor union.
So, we have Republicans refusing to fund anti-terrorism efforts, Republicans who made poor decisions on releasing terrorists, and a Republican who is playing politics with the TSA because he doesn't like unions.
All which can mean only one thing. The attempted terrorist attack that occurred last week is all President Obama's fault.
