Is The "Threat" of a 9/11 10 year attack, real?
Personally, I think this well timed release of an "car bomb" attack in NYC or DC on 9/11/2011, is more for Obama's image than reality. Releasing this "attack alert" just before his speech and his refusal to stop his Union fund raising tour (i.e sell his JOBS BILL) is well thought out. He knows that it is not real and he is playing to the media, which is not questioning it at all, that he is fearless of any attack and he is not hiding from the jobless masses. Dr. Goebbels could not have planned it better.
This President (sadly) will do anything to keep himself in the limelight.

You have a very good grasp of the "seriousness" of this publicity-seeking
threat release. The Obama administration IMO is hedging its bets to make
certain that the GOP in Congress will not dismantle the American version of
the KGB, AKA the TSA and HSA. Never defund your secret police.
Superdog is on point, it would be earth shattering news if Obama was not
in the limelight with his Hagiographa media friend seeking to collect used
bon mot and used toilet tissue for future 3 class relics. Scott Pelley and
Bob Schieffer could not stop praising Obama over his Come to More Taxes to support
Union Party workers. So keeping this canard alive reminds people that
we shall hear more.
Yes, Giginotg... the "... the government does have a responsibility to warn the
public..." but it does not have a duty to scare the public for political purposes.
This threat is nearly akin to Goebbels reporting of Poland sending Jewish thugs to rape
peaceful Germany in August of 1939. Germany made the "threat and attack" real by attacking
Poland on 1 Sept 1939.
As to Cupcake, of course if agents of this administration and VP Biden report something
it is as true as if they found a contemporary tape recording of the Sermon on the Mound.
You question has must have hit a cord since, none of the Obama is infallible trolls have
deemed to reply.

All are possible.
For a good government, those attacks would be erased before appearing to the public.
However, it was government's responsibility to warn public and get help from public. Of course, by raising such alert, it created demands on further funding on security forces.
The problem of Obama's strategy on economy was injecting funding directly to bottom level. He should strengthen the driving engines in economy. This would be much acceptable in U.S. or capitalism countries.

This just in - US President Obama, so-called leader of the free world, makes first public appearance since election 3 years ago. Reports indicate many people on Y!A will now criticise him for NOT having been 'in the limelight'. And now to our sports' desk....

I do not think the "rumors of an attack threat" any more than Obama's jobs bill was written before his speech.

Obama and his administration, including Biden, have regarded the threat as "credible". They say it is traced to three people and may be a series of car-detonated bombs throughout New York City and Washington D.C.
Personally, I think it should be taken seriously, as this Sunday is the 10th anniversary, and with Bin Laden dead, al-Quada will want their revenge.

Yep. The government powers-that-be must keep up the 'War on Terror' that has brought riches and power to so many.
