Comedy in National Security

We all know the Dick Cheney thing about how President Obama is making us unsafe with all this namby pamby thing of granting rights to terrorists and wanting to turn them loose on American streets to pillage and loot. Did you know that the loss of Air France Flight 447 might be a symptom of that issue? This is a comment in a thread discussing that subject on Salon,

Isn't it interesting that they are so quick to ignore the possibility of terrorism? The media has become so biased for Obama, they would hide a terrorist attack if they think they can get away with it. If, after years of investigation, it turns out to be a terrorist attack, the media can act all surprised -- gee, we never would have guessed. But they will ignore the very real possibility to keep Obama from the accusation that his administration's weakness had something to do with it.

Assuming it was a "terrorist bomb" that caused the loss, exactly how would such a bomb, on a French plane flying from Brazil to France, reflect on Obama's national defense policies?
