Hey, O, terror takes no holiday

ADD two more names to the list of Obama administration officials who didn't let the attempted Christmas Day terror attack interrupt their vacations.
CIA boss Leon Panetta stayed in California despite the attack and a subsequent Afghanistan bombing that killed seven of his agents. His top deputy, Stephen Kappes, was also out of town, although he returned just after the Dec. 30 bombing that killed the agents.
It was reported earlier that a top counterterrorism official, Michael Leiter, left for a six-day ski vacation the day after the airliner attack. There were no sightings of Vice President Joe Biden or Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, either.
The president, of course, is in no position to complain. Doing a good imitation of Punxsutawney Phil, he stayed hidden in his Hawaii hole until a perfunctory appearance on Dec 28. He then went back to more golf and tennis until after New Year's Day.
