Micheal Chertoff said that what happened could have easily happened during the Bush admin. today on the radio.

That's not what I heard in the interview. This is where media bias comes into play. He said one thing, and NPR reported it with a liberal spin. His words were as follows:

"I don't think this is a policy issue, I think it has to do with whether the people who received the information from the father acted on it quickly and directed that there be some kind of interim view of the visa status on an emergent basis. And I don't think we know the answer to that; we don't know why there wasn't a quicker response, and we don't know whether this indicates some kind of a change in attitude or whether it just was a human failure on the part of a particular officer."

There may be more to the interview, but from what's available online I heard nothing that suggests he thought the same failure would have occurred. He's saying he doesn't think it is a policy issue, yet he also says "we don't know whether this indicates some kind of change in attitude" -- definitely noncommittal on the policy issue.

It starts at the top. You'd be blaming Bush and if you weren't a low-life hypocrite you'd blame Obama, too.
