If you had watched any of the news <vbg>, the President came right out and said, "the system didn't work".

The reason she still has her job is that she was, if you re-watch the Sunday morning shows were she said it, referring to what happened after the guy lit his pants on fire (getting off the plane, etc). She wasn't saying "the system worked" in reference to the guy being able to get on the plane. That was taken out of context. But she shouldn't have gone there knowing there would be sound bites. Most of the major news orgs did point that out - eventually - by Tuesday or Wednesday.
