Obama notified of Times Square bomber 34 mins before his comedy routine at White House Correspondents Dinner
The show must go on I suppose. Of course we all remember how the progressive liberals went ballistic when sat for an extra 7 minutes with school children during 9/11. Apparently the Times Square bomber didn’t warrant much attention from Obama as he was notified 34 minutes before performing his “comedy routine” at the White House Correspondence Dinner. The USA Today blog documents the series of events:
At 9:30 p.m., the White House Situation Room notified the national security staff that an apparent car bomb had been discovered in Times Square.
At 10:04 p.m., President Obama began his address to the White House Correspondents Association Dinner in Washington, completing them at 10:21 p.m.
At 10:44 p.m., Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism John Brennan spoke briefly about the incident with David Cohen, deputy commissioner of intelligence, New York Police Department.
Good to see the President is really taking our national security seriously. I’m surprised he didn’t crack a joke about it at the dinner. Oh that’s right, the “Daily Show” already had his jokes pre-written.
