Kean is such a Republican shill. Why does anyone still act like he's some sort of moderate. His opinion on Obama shouldn't matter any more than any other Republican.

Kean said Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, the 23-year-old Nigerian who failed in his attempt to set off an explosive on an airplane about to land in Detroit, “probably did us a favor.”

Why is it that Republicans always seem to think terrorism is a good thing? Can you imagine if Joe Biden had said this?

“We had an administration which was not focused, as it should be, on terrorism and that’s understandable,” Kean said. “They were focused on health care and global warming and the economy. That’s very understandable. Secondly, we weren’t really focused on Yemen and the terrible things that are happening there. Now we are and that’s a good thing. And, thirdly, there were holes obviously and the [intelligence gathering] system wasn’t working well. We found out it wasn’t working well and the president understands it’s not working well and now we’re focused on fixing it.”

Unlike Bush, Obama is perfectly able to multi-task. Obama wasn't ignoring terrorism but you're never going to catch every terrorist no matter how hard you try.
