Rush & Huckabee Challenge Obama: Let the TSA Pat Down the First Family

Last weekend, President Obama responded to public criticism of the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) new airport screening techniques, suggesting that the process is “frustrating” for everyone, but necessary.
In response, some conservatives have stepped forward to challenge the president to experience the new procedures for himself. Fox News personality and former Republican Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee dared Obama to allow the airport’s TSA screeners to pat-down the First Family.
“If he thinks this is an appropriate way for us to deal with security as he has defended, then I’ve said, ‘OK, Mr. Obama, take your wife, your two daughters and your mother-in-law to Washington Reagan National Airport and have them publicly go through both the body scanner and the full enhanced pat-down in front of others,’” Huckabee told Fox and Friends Tuesday morning.
“‘If it’s OK for your wife, your daughters, and your mother-in-law, then maybe the rest of us won’t feel so bad when our wives, our daughters and our mothers are being put through this humiliating and degrading, totally unconstitutional, intrusion of their privacy.’”
By Tuesday afternoon, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh also issued his own challenge for the president, suggesting the president conduct a PR move similar to his swim in the Gulf of Mexico following the BP oil spill last summer:

On 9/11, the hijackers passed through magnetometers and were screened with hand-held wands by security under supervision of the FAA. “At the time, the FAA allowed passengers to carry aboard knives with blades up to 4 inches. But there was confusion about utility knives, box cutters and other cutting tools.” (LA Times, 7/22/04) I am not surprised that you are unaware of those facts. The common denominator in this problem seems to be your ignorance. You should have quit after your Limbaugh comment. You are the epitome of a fool with too much rope.

At first I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe you were just calling Rush Limbaugh out of touch with the common airline passenger for flying privately. However, having read most of your comments following your Rush dig, it has become clear that you are just another liberal troll; either foreign, or using Dragon Speech. How else could you possibly explain the frequent misspellings that appear in your posts? It is apparent that someone is feeding you all the information that constructs your diatribe. There is no way that a person as well-read as you would have us believe, could make those mistakes.

The “dog” that Rush has “in this fight”, is you, me, or any other American whose freedoms are being abused. He has the ‘Golden Mic’ and the audience necessary to voice the often muted opinions and concerns of most Americans on issues that affect our daily lives. Rush may fly privately, but his freedom is under attack as well. Or do you feel that he traded those freedoms for money and success?
The bottom line is that the government should have addressed the questions and fears of it’s constituents before fast-tracking these new travel-safety regulations and imposing them on the people. Then again, maybe Congress heard enough from their constituents during the Town Hall Meetings and debates on Obama Care; causing them to completely side-step the will of the people they are supposed to represent. Two years into the Obama Administration and Washington is as ugly as ever, if not worse.

Posted on November 23, 2010 at 4:59pmActually, the whole explanation is a fraud. The naked scanners CANNOT detect those plastic explosives. So anyone who thinks they are secure because people are willing to go through those will definitely be surprised when the real terrorists, who are probably not even screened, carry out their plan. And people think they are safe from old people with knee and hip replacements.. who are the ones that get the enhanced pat down because of the metal in their bodies?
WE ARE NOT SAFE NOW.. WE WERE NOT SAFE WHEN THE UNDERWEAR BOMBER GOT ON THE PLANE.. AND 11 MONTHS LATER WE THINK WE ARE BEING PROTECTED FROM UNDERWEAR BOMBS BECAUSE THEY ARE PATTING DOWN SICK PEOPLE, OLD PEOPLE AND KIDS?
Good grief….What is wrong with people that they would even believe this absolute crap?

As for these screenings, they are likely to continue and be just as intrusive on our rights. Refuse and you’re likely to get listed and investigated. Just recall when DHS released that report about veterans, tea party members, and people concerned over the national debt…… DHS considered them to be potential ‘domestic terrorist.‘ This is relevant since a new report states that opposition to these scanners or the ’gate rape’ practices they have employed will now get you on a list and possibly investigated.

He’s supposed to be the defender of the Constitution, not the trampler thereof.
This is obvious. The U.S. Military ought to drag his sorry butt out of the White House and he should be prosecuted (along with most of his staff and collaborators) for crimes against the Constitution. Biden should be gone too. So that leaves John Boehner to resume the roll of the Presidency…which is supposed to be bigger than any man, socialist, or crackhead.

What is the connection between TSA and the FDA? Several days ago the TSA implemented a new passage passenger screening procedure. Since that time, major news sources have been expending most of the time and effort describing and in many cases vilifying that policy. Most of the press coverage fans, emotion concerning the abuse of travelers resulting from the new policy.
While the Major Attention of the news media is focused on the TSA policy, Congress is considering a new oppressive law, the Food Safety Modernization Act (S.510).
This law extends unprecedented powers to the FDA to control the production of and inspection of food. It will have far-reaching effects on the economy and food prices will rise significantly. Yet the debate and impending passage of this tyrannical legislation is almost completely ignored by the news media. Long after the TSA policy inequities has been resolved. People will be going to bed hungry as a result of The Food Modernization Act (S.510). It is no accident that the media is focusing its attention on the TSA procedures instead of this oppressive new law.
Contact your Congressman and Senators and demand that the vote on this bill the food safety modern-day modernization act (S. 510) be delayed until the new Congress is seated. This will allow public debate, and education of the public to the loss of liberty contained in this bill.

Posted on November 23, 2010 at 4:27pmI go to “the Hill”, about 16 times a day to check on them, the most oft used “cover” ploy used in DC is to wait for a long weekend and post the info Just before the weekend hits, and hope no one notices.
Report Post »I‘ve a sneaking feeling that I’m not the only pair of eyes watching them any more, ah, well the more the merrier I say.
It’s imparitive to stay on top of them at all times, now more than ever.
As for this idea , Obama letting his kids get felt up is about as likely as my allowing my kids to recieve the TSA treatment, NONE.

Posted on November 23, 2010 at 4:34pmLike that will ever happen! ‘We can’t have the first family in public like that the security risk is too high’ will be coming out of Robert “Baghdad Bob” Gibbs big clueless mouth. Plus we all know they would not be patted down like any of us!
This is smoke and mirrors the more I think of it. there must be something else at play, “they” must be working on a bill or some new regs to ef us all while they run this TSA joke narrative. Remember Rhambo’s philosophy never let a good crisis go to waste!
Stop playing their game, play your your game http://www.savingtherepublic.com

It’s got to be a smoke screen, In this administration any big controversy is fabricated for a reason, watch the other hand.

Posted on November 23, 2010 at 4:48pmThe reason they can’t use common sense and implement profiling, is because liberals would then be suspects.

Thanks for the info. You are wrong, though, if you believe TSA abuses will be resolved. Obama is overwhelming us with tyrannical regulations because he knows “his time is short.” We need to resist them all.

Posted on November 23, 2010 at 6:15pmYou’re exactly right. This administration likes to create mini tempests in a teapot – like TSA – to distract the masses while they plug away at tearing down the Constitution of this nation, destroying our economic system and taking away our God-given rights.

Report Post »H.R. 3808 is known as the “Interstate Recognition of Notarizations Act.” It passed the House under a suspension of the rules in April 2010. It requires federal and state courts to recognize any notarization that is lawful in the state where the notary is licensed. Now, in one day, it passed in the Senate.

Posted on November 23, 2010 at 7:41pmTake notice liberals; do you think at some point that you may want to stop the insanity that this administration has leveled on our country?
We know not all of you agree with what Obama Liberals are doing to the country; we know that. There’s a population of you out there with some sanity left; you’re intelligent and have morals and ethics to match; but you’re not speaking against the madness; you’re allowing it all to just take place.
In your conscience, you must know that it would be in everyone’s best interests if you just backed away from this destructive phenomenon and worked with us on achieving the things that are really important to you and your causes. Just ask yourself, does Obama’s America really look like the country you want to be proud of? Do you really want to claim this president’s actions as part of your doing with your votes and your support for increased pain and misery . . . violations of dignity and disrespect for human rights? Is that what you want to say to your children and grandchildren that you did?
You know this is a grand farce, a travesty . . . all that is Obama. But you can play a big part in stopping it all if you would just only think of what’s more to come.
Sooner or later you’re going to have to choose . . . At this rate, it’s possible that soon there won’t be any simple way of turning it back. Are you going to choose the side with over two hundred years of progressive movement in human rights, growth and prosperity? Or are you going to keep riding this crazy train to have your finger prints all over Obama’s madness and ruin based upon promises that are mere illusions and manipulations contrived to only deceive you, your family and your friends? Make no mistake; you will suffer right along with us all . . .

Posted on November 24, 2010 at 12:16amThis whole deal is very strange and many talking heads are starting to notice. Someone please explain the progressive logic behind what’s going on… When Bush was the president the progressives wanted his head on a platter for allowing terrorists phone conversations to be tapped into. Here we have a violation of our privacy that is a magnitude of a cat 5 hurricane compared to what Bush did, and the libs are quiet as a mouse! WTH is going on???

Posted on November 24, 2010 at 12:47amWait a second. Everyone here is agreement that Obama is weak on terrorism. He’s not doing enough to prevent terrorists from killing us. We have that agreement and understanding. We also agree that metal detectors are okay, and have no problem putting our keys, cell phones and whatever metal objects in a tray to be separately scanned while we go through the metal detector.
I’m sorry to be the one to tell you, but we’ve entered the 21st century. There are high tech polymers (many years old really) that can be used to make a knife as hard and sharp as a metal knife, but that won’t show up with a metal detector. And there are plastic explosives – a few grams pound of PETN for example that would blow a plane out of the sky (think underwear bomber or shoe bomber) that a metal detector wouldn’t see . Those things don’t show up in a metal detector. If there aren’t already high tech plastic guns with non-metallic propellants and bullets, they are soon to be here.
But you don’t want these scans. You say that is invasion of privacy, and you don’t look like a terrorist, so what’s the point? The point is that “the terrorists” will recruit someone who doesn’t look like a terrorist. Maybe you think think that anyone who isn’t an Arab would blow up a plane. Think again.
But you guys are covered because you haven‘t a clue what’s going on. You say it’s an invasions of privacy now, but the minute a plane is put down you‘ll say it’s because of Obama.
