See, if you blame Obama, you do not have to take responsibility for yourself.  Apparently Immigration retaliated on elderly British Cruiseliner passengers for complaining about yet another "Identity Papers, Please" at the harbor in LA.  The story is a biggie in the UK with some USA commenters adding.  I like this one:

I was wondering, out of the over 300 posts in response to this article, how many posts  it would take before I saw one blaming this on President Obama. It took exactly TWO POSTS to find one. Hilarious.

Perzactly!  How are Geo Bush policies the fault of Obama?  USA voted Obama in for change, and then has done nothing about his staying with the Bush agenda.  With so many Americans saying it was better under Bush, it makes sense that Obama would carry on his policies.

Geo Bush failed to protect us from the second, and successful attack on the World Trade centers, an attack the terrorists clearly advertised in advance, like Babe Ruth pointing out where he planned to hit the ball. (Ramzi Yousef said in his trial for the first bombing they'd be back.) Geo Bush then set up the TSA and put out all of the weird security protocols we have, all following the logic of torture.  Once at a TSA checkpoint, when asked if I minded being patted down by a TSA functionary (as if I have a choice)  I said I do mind, "You do not have the right, but you have the power.")  He immediately called over a supervisor who said if I do not submit they'll "take me to a back room... and I do not want to go there."  So I was threatened for noting my rights.  Such is USA under the democrats and republicans.

The reason the cruise lines and airlines do not protect their customers is that they are subsidized by the government and would not exist, at least in their present form, without these subsidies.  Therefore these carriers at once support but distance themselves from the govt lawlessness.  There is no reason why taxpayers should pay for private companies' security.  Let "how safe" a cruise or airliner is be a competitive item.

When battle hardened states war veteran Irishmen formed a terrorist organization in the 1870s to gangster up the coal mines in Pennsylvania,  the private companies hired private companies to provide security.  Govt wan not in it.  We need to get back to private security and choice.
