A WORD FROM THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, PLEASE - AT 7:34 A.M. ET:  There was a major terror arrest in New York this week, but you'd never know it by the reaction of the White House.  The New York Post gets it exactly right in today's editorial:

President Obama has done a lot of speechifying in recent days about America's "responsibilities" in fighting terror.

So you'd think he'd have a word of encouragement for the team of crack FBI agents and NYPD officers that foiled a real-life terror attack against two Bronx synagogues on Wednesday.

Alas, not a peep.

And...

A verbal nod to the Bronx plot -- especially as he raised the prospect Thursday of bringing Guantanamo detainees to US soil -- would at least have assured Americans that he's aware of the stakes involved.

Or is the president's "new approach" in the War on Terror entirely an academic exercise?

COMMENT:  Well said.  You'd think that, after the hammering the Obamans have taken from Dick Cheney, the White House would have invited the cops and FBI agents who broke that plot to have a photo-op with the president. 

Might be culturally insensitive.
