"I thought when we elected a black president, we were going to get a black president. You know, this [BP oil spill] is where I want a real black president.

The media’s reaction to the Faisal Shahzad story was quite telling. It began with many clamoring for the idea that the would-be bomber had to be a rightwing nutjob. It ended with many drawing a curiously sympathetic picture of an enemy of everything we believe in.As the narrative went, Shahzad fell on tough times due to the recession and grew ever more insular. So he picked up the Koran and devoted himself to Islam, and then up and left for Pakistan to train with al-Qaeda. Surely this is the natural reaction to being short the month’s mortgage payment. I find it more plausible that it was the plight of the New York Mets that drove him to attempt to blow up a car bomb in Times Square.
