| The 21-year-old student behind an alleged terror plot to blow up the New York Federal Reserve also planned to target a high-ranking U.S. official, believed to be President Obama. Quazi Nafis, from Bangladesh, was arrested early on Wednesday after he allegedly tried to remotely detonate a fake 1,000-pound car bomb outside the building in lower Manhattan, only a few blocks from the World Trade Center. The plot was foiled by a major FBI and NYPD operation which led to Nafis being supplied with fake explosives by an undercover agent. New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said that a high-ranking

He wasn't a real Nafis, just a Quazi Nafis.

Earlier yesterday I saw the potus theory floated then removed by the evening. Which story line do you think the sinking potus will embrace/employ? Fake war in libya where he takes out, by drone, the people who killed our people in libya? Bid Laden II?. Threat of assassination? How about his kid or wife are sick? Bo has a booboo?

FTA "According to the criminal complaint, Nafis said: 'All I had in my mind are how to destroy America... I came up to this conclusion that targeting America’s economy is most efficient way to draw the path of obliteration of America as well as the path of establishment of Khilapha.’"
OMG, is he related to oblamma?

Hss ever ever in the history of America a president watched in real time as his Ambassador and Navy SEALs were murdered and simply went to bed so he could be up early to continue his political campaign?
It is so chilling that it makes one wonder if Stevens was on Obama's 'kill list'.

Maybe we should consider a moritorium on student visas, and track down those "students" whose visas have expired, or who haven't attended classes for the past thirty days, and who are still presumably roaming the country.

Maybe I missed something but all the article talked about was the plan to bomb the New York Federal Reserve building so I hardly see how that "takes out" 0bama. It also points out the ignorance of the would-be bomber. Blowing the Fed sky high would interrupt things a bit but surely, all the records are backed-up offsite. If 0bama had a son, I think he'd look a little like Quazi.

No doubt the Obama White House would report to the nation that this guy is just another wayward movie critic if they thought that they could get away with that in order to further cover for the perpetrators of radical Islamic jihad who are continuously attempting to attack the USA.
The article says that this guy plotted to kill Obama, but apparently his mission was to bomb a big bank in New York. Now everybody knows that Obama hates big New York banks, so the chances of Obama being in the vicinity of that bank giving a campaign speech are remote.
This guy's chances of coming anywhere near Obama would be much better at a college or university where Obama always gives his speeches, blowing smoke at know nothing college students like this naive radical Islamist terrorist.
And the Obama State Dept. gave this guy a student visa to study cyber security in the USA?????

Throwing in the assassination bit seems to be an afterthought. What I want to know is, why does the FBI, CIA and other security/intelligence factions have to set up a Sting Operation to catch these terrorists. It seems they have a hand in all ends of the act from securing the elements to create bombs to helping secure methods of delivery. Loads of 'fishy' smell to all of this. They knew about most of those involved in 9-11, but what was done to hinder that?

#25: I agree. I also question the timing of this thing. It knocked the debate off the front page during the time of analysis and fact check. So far nobody has done the big article laying out how Romney told a bunch of untruths. Obama lied through his teeth, but Romney didn't.
So, now they're just talking about this would be puppet ... I mean terrorist.

#8 & 23 - I don't know how they think, but I do know that we don't think like them and they don't think like us. You cannot use common logic when trying to understand what goes through the brain of a terrorist. You might as well ask why do islamists kill each other? Because it is what they do is about the only answer that fits.

Anyone want to bet that obama finds somebody.... ANYbody.... to bomb before election day? Probably before the next debate. He is desperate. I heard someone on FoxNews this a.m. saying that when we had a strike against us in Libya during the Reagan administration that within 10 days, Reagan ordered the bombing of Gaddafi's compound.... and Reagan never heard a peep from Gaddafi after that. What a man!! What a president!

#3 - well, The Won is fresh out of grandmothers to die the week before the election, so he's got to find something to stimulate a repeat of the sympathy bump he got in his 2008 returns. (And anticipating reactions to this comment -- no, I don't think it's possible to be too cynical about that cat or his posse.)

I believe that the news reports stated he was a follower of an Islamic Radical group that the President has stated was "decimated", but how can that be ?? Obama is never wrong. When Obama had OBL killed, he created a martyr, but of course, he never looked that far ahead to see just what the unintended consequences of his action would be. Now these people just have an additional reason to blame the USA for their hatred.

I don't believe the story that Obama was also a target for a minute.
Someone with a lot of money and an interest in manipulating US politics made...and probably financed...the plan to strike the Federal Reserve Bank. Had it succeeded, the damage to the US economy would have been significant. It could have been a game-changer, motivating voters to not switch Presidents.
It would seem to me to be totally illogical that Obama was also a target...

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
