Obama’s speech is too little, too late: GOP

Republicans wasted no time before blasting President Obama’s “buck stops with me” response to the Christmas Day attack as too weak in dealing with the terrorist threat to America.

“Too often, President Obama and Democrats disregard the fact that terrorists are at war with us, which is dangerous thinking in this post-9/11 era,” GOP National Committee chief Michael Steele said.

He cited Obama’s order to close the terrorist jail at Guantanamo Bay and alluded to the administration’s plans to try bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and other al Qaeda agents in federal courts.
