Just when you thought you’d seen everything…
Leftists chanted “4 more years” and “Yes We Can” outside the White House after Osama Bin Laden’s death was announced last night.
The operation started years before Obama was in office.
Michelle Malkin noted — A Huffington Post reporter gloats: “Chants of ‘four more years!’ in front of WH.”
College kids in front of the White House are chanting “Yes We Can!” according to a beaming CNN reporter.
Funny… They didn’t get this excited when Al-Zarqawi was killed?
Does anyone out there actually believe this was completely spontaneous and not planned by the left?

Wow, after this military win, there’s no way Obama can be defeated in 2012!

Sure they weren’t chanting FORE MORE YEARS?
Screw these leftist kids.

Yeah, I’ve been reading how this is sooooooooo good for Zero. What a joke. Does the killing of Bin Laden change the fact that gas is over $4.00/gal. or that grocery prices and other commodities continue to rise in price? I didn’t think so. NOPE. Let Obama crow for a day. It’s ALL he has. And besides, what did he have to do with it besides the fact that he was in the WH when it happened? Zero has tried everything in his power to make sure we LOSE in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, when the policies of GWB were implemented to kill this guy; he takes the credit. It must be PITIFUL to have so little to fall back on as far as policies, that he has to take credit for someone else putting a bullet in a thug’s head. Zero is pathetic. NOBAMA 2012. I prefer Cain/Bachmann.
mg4us commented:
How would this group have known and gotten to the WH just prior to Obama speaking. .because it was all staged like the fake people in doctor’s coats during the Obamacare debates.
Also Obama’s youths were against military and wars. . so phony.
On the other hand, Congrats to our brave Navy Seals that executed this operation with precision and determination and all those brave men and women who had a part in this operation.
And let’s give President Obama credit for following the plan that President George Bush and his team laid out and initiated. It is good that Obama followed Bush’s lead.
Now hopefully the “buried at sea” is a smoke screen and that the CIA has Osama LOCKED UP AND SPILLING ALL HE KNOWS. . .By whatever means necessary to get him to talk!!

Everything is measured in terms of political gain or loss in the semi-functional minds of these leftist tools. We all know what they would have been shouting if this had happened while Boosh was still in office.

Weren’t these the same crew that were saying “no more war”? They just can’t make up their minds can they?
tammycracker commented:
I thought the same thing when I saw the footage of these astroturfers on Fox last night.
All white.
All under 25.
And they appeared out of nowhere.
Were the bussed over from Georgetown University, or did they get an email from Move On?
Mark commented:
Chimpie doesn’t have the balls to torture bin Laden. Eric Holder would be bobbing for apples in his lap. Nah, he’s dead.

Agree with USNA Commandent, we won and now it’s time to bring our troops home!!

Sorry Mark, we don’t refer to Obama in those terms. They could call Bush chimpie but the reverse is not applicable. There are plenty of other names you can call him but not that as it would tar the rest of us with the same brush of racisim.
(And, yes, that was intentional…)
Freddy commented:
This event is good for the US and good for Obama. In a week, or less, we will still be looking at the same economic mess and that is what the next election will be about.
As for spontaneous events, the ball game in Philly pretty much summed that up. And it was not about ‘four more years’.
si senor commented:
You ODS sufferers gotta be hating life today.
Joanne commented:
It was the 40 or so CIA lead elite Navy Seal squadron that did the job, not Obama. Thankfully Obama gave the go ahead for them to go in and take out Osama, but I doubt very much it had anything to do with Osama actually being taken down, but more about how it looks that it happened on his watch. With a narcissist it is always about them.
Mama Lion commented:
Pathetic. Just last week the left wouldn’t touch a flag or stand for the pledge or sing the national anthem.
Who in the hell do they think they are fooling>
Another thought: Anyone hear from Louis Farrakhan about this? How upset is he?
gary b commented:
wonder how many kegs of beer it cost the taxpayers for the obamaites to get those college students over there ? what a frigging circus and Nobama as the ringmaster…….bozo circus is on the air !
Joanne commented:
Thankfully Osama was killed or he would have to be taken to America and given a non-military trial – wouldn’t want to offend.
bigkahuna commented:
Obama needed to hold off on this raid till Oct/Nov of 2012. This will fade a in a week or two and people will still be paying $4 plus for gas. Food will still be high, jobs low, interest rates high, debt high, moral low,unemployment high, foreclosures high, Obama supporters still high, oil companies evil, insurance rates still high.

At least now we know the reason for the 1-hr delay of his speech.

Conflictiing Reports
Sources: Osama bin Laden was Killed Last Week in Pakistan
http://kaaltv.com/article/stories/S2091004.shtml?cat=10151
Last Week? Or yesterday?
Exactly when did it happen?
What is the timeline?
Also, according to Fox News, US Intelligence Agents Have Known That Osama Bin Laden Was Living In The Masion In Pakistan Since Last August!
Why did Obama suddenly decide to give the green light now?
Two Reasons
1) His poll numbers suck
2) To create a distraction that will hopefully take attention away from the discovery of his Forged LFBC, his Stolen Social Security Number,
and the fact that it is now known for certain, that Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen who is eligible to be POTUS.
One last thing: Why did they hastily dispose of Osama Bin Laden at sea?
Now there will always be those that doubt the veracity of this story.
luckyone commented:
I knew it. My first thought was it was SEIU. It is very disturbing that Obama is so high on the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Poll today. Also, those that favor repeal of ObamaCare is below 50% for the first time today. I blame this on a lack of cohesive Conservative message from our would-be leaders. Where is the Weeper of the House?
Over commented:
Reminded me of the ‘dancing Palestine’s’ on 911. Instead of doing their “victory, happy” noise, these brainwashed, paid off, pawn drones did their mindlessly, repetitious chanting – same darkened by ignorance, deceived Borg hybrids. [They're the baked clay mixed with Iron (Empire): the feet of Great Image - Dan 2:28]
Instead of strapping on bombs they strap on something just as sinister and deadly – an allegiance to the mindset of American’s destruction and their “feel goodie” gleefully “over the cliff” walk.
ditto commented:
They held that speech off long enough to bus a bunch of kids in to do that. This was a set up from the beginning. This happens a week ago, and no one says a word, nothing gets out, and then on Trump’s show, they announce. We got the message loud and clear, and its revenge and ugliness.
What a petty govt we have, what a lying govt we have, what a trap he has set for himself. What might have been a celebration has turned into a circus once again, its like no one believes him, no matter what he says.
He uses our kids, he uses our country. And these parents let him. Its a sham and a shame.
Stephan commented:
Chicago jesus better get gas prices down, and get some jobs, and stop the deaths of our boys at the hands of pisslamist’s or he is toast.
Radegunda commented:
#14, the ONLY thing that Obama did was: 1. Let the policies of GW Bush continue; 2. Break his pledge to close down Gitmo (the source of much valuable information); and 3. Say “Okay, you can kill Osama.”
Obamabots stopped caring about the existence of Osama bin Laden as soon as Barky got in the White House.
Conservatives are cheering the killing of Osama — but we also know that Obama does weird things like give citizenship to people who’ve been convicted on terror-related charges; refuse to acknowledge the obvious Islamic motives of terrorists at home; and even STOP PROSECUTIONS of terror accomplices.
Kate commented:
This is a triumph for our military who carried out the mission and those who planned it; not our anti-military buffoon in chief. Just go back and read Obama’s comments about our military before he became President. I don’t for one minute believe he changed his colors just because he became president. He just lies about that like he does everything else. Actually I am surprised he hasn’t apologized to the world for an American success. Being proud of our country and its power is non-existent in Obama and his angry wife who thinks the US is a downright mean country.
Bert commented:
Osama has been running a convenience store in LA since 2003 under an assumed name.
He was given an new identity by the CIA. If you disagree, show me the corpse.
american patriot commented:
Actually I’m surprised that the dipsh_t in chief didn’t wait to pull off this stunt until say August 2012 to give him the Big Mo into November 2012.
Had they been given free rein to get our enemies and not been saddled with the PC Rules of engagement by both Bush and Obama, our armed forces could have gotten UBL years ago, saving 2 or 3 Muslim wars.
Chisum commented:
Can’t you just smell the hypocrisy?
In the early part of his campaign, Obama funneled many of his comments about the “war on terrorism” through his concerns with human and civil rights issues that it has raised. His campaign website establishes both small weapons proliferation and potential nuclear terrorism as significant U.S. priorities.

Sparky commented:
As usual, there is more to this story than being reported.
What proof is there thus far that this is actually OSB? Was there an independent civilian component to this mission to verify that the purported body is acutally OSB?
Why the quick burial at sea before a thorough investigation.
Bush was very transparent when Uday, Kusay and Saddam were captured/killed.
Obama is either hiding something again or is just totally incompetent.
Guess the Donald needs to widen the scope of his Obama investigation!

Of course it was staged. There’s no way that many college students own their own flags. Where do you think they got them that late on a Sunday night? They were all probably offered free beers and condoms.

Meh. If it were really astroturfed we would have seen other pro union signs etc because they cannot help themselves. Look at the crowd. It was mostly young, white and middle class. These kids almost certainly voted for the one last time around and after two years of the worst presidency in history they have something that makes them feel good about their vote. This was probably not astroturf. Let them have their one night of celebration, tomorrow they will have to go back to facing the worst economy in decades, entrenched joblessness and inflation that will soon break into high double digits.
Guy in Ohio commented:
This entire incident reeks … from the timing of the announcement to the flash mob chanting pro-Obama crap. Anyone who doesn’t see that isn’t looking very closely …
It’s hard to argue that it isn’t a good thing to finally be rid of Bin Laden, but they should be ashamed of themselves for making it into a pro-O sideshow, and for using it to take a shot at Trump in the process. There is absolutely NOTHING this man won’t do to promote himself, and destroy his enemies.
KR commented:
4 More years?
Of what? Tearing the strength of America?
Isn’t that what Osama wanted?
Chisum commented:
#14,
Sorry, even your lib pals at the NYT say that this is a short term blip for BO.
Finally, what does this mean for President Obama’s political prospects? I don’t think very much. November 2012 is a long way away, and the main political issue is likely to be the economy. After all, George H.W. Bush was a hero after the Gulf War victory in early 1991, and by Nov. 1992 was defeated by Bill Clinton because of the economic slowdown.

Betsy Ross commented:
Obama CHOSE May 2 to deliver the news for 2 reasons:
1. To mock George Bush’s “mission accomplished” speech given on, guess what day?
May 2, 2003
2. To interrupt Donald Trum’s television show. The announcement of the pending announcement was during his show.
mamagriz68 commented:
Well, that would explain the long delay in him coming out to make the announcement. I don’t put anything past liberals or politicians in general.
truth teller commented:
That video is so contrived, especially the “dark” male wrapping an American Flag around his head and then putting on a cowboy hat (of all things).
Such fakerys and incongruence…it’s amazing what these people do for Der Fuhrer…this must be what it was like in Nazi Germany…the clueless youth bringing their dictator to power.

Capn Angus commented:
Hmmm doesn’t appear there was a person over 30 in the crowd, Except maybe the odd Professor here or there.
Can you say staged?
You have to love the opening with the European soccer song Ole Ole Ole Ole…
I guess their college professors haven’t told them they’re supposed to want to see Mullah Omar & Gilbuddin Hektmartyr on platters as well…
Yes Kiddies this was reason to celebrate with a few Beer Bongs but this is akin to the Flag Raising of Mt. Surabachi not the signing of a peace treaty on the Missouri in Tokyo Bay…
That moment takes place when the 1st generation of Muslim kids are born that don’t want to wear a suicide vest before they sprout their first pubic hair.
martha commented:
The killing of UBL was put in place for years before the anointed 1 got into office. He happened to be at the right place in the right time. Does he deserve some credit for following through? Absolutely!
However, when you balance out this one single time that he has acted as a real President with all the unconstitutional and unpresidentail things he’s done he still comes up way way short.

re: Why did they hastily dispose of Osama Bin Laden at sea?
Two reasons.. a) the body is not Osama but a look alike decoy, b) decay, the body is badly decomposed and would contradict the storyline of a recent kill.
http://dossier.important.free.fr/2011/05%20-%20Mai/1304322799668.png
The whole purpose of this is to a) divert attention from Zero’s eligibility issues, b) give him a poll bounce, c) more important to Zero, reinforce that the U.S. is on the side of Muslims more than non-Muslims.. hence the claim that Osama murdered many Muslims, etc.

Oh yes, and May 1 was also the date Hitler met his maker..
‘Despite the jubilation (mostly) worldwide over the death of Osama bin Laden, the biggest enemy so far this century, it’s easy to forget the historic coincidence of the death of the biggest mass murderer of the previous century.
On May 1, 1945, Germany announced that Adolf Hitler was dead, leading to the end of the allied campaign in Europe during World War II. That same date 64 years later, President Obama announced the death of the al-Qaeda leader and international terrorist.’
http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/05/02/may-day-both-hitler-and-bin-laden-announced-dead-on-may-1/
Just a little too pat and convenient.. and Zero has never commemorated the Normandy invasion against the Nazis.
Bigol commented:
I’m sure a few of the more political activist types decided to take advantage of this opportunity. And if Bush was in office I’m just as sure there would be some of the same chants down there…
My take is everyone in the chain of command should receive the credit. Even Obama. It was a tough call and I’m happy he made it.
However, as much as I give credit where credit is due I know in my heart that if this were Bush we would be seeing crap like this:

Will these students even remember this while they’re in the unemployment line?
Sickofobama commented:
That’s why it took so long for Obama to come out last night.
There weren’t enough paid libtards in front of the White House.
You ain’t fooling nobody libtards or head libtard Obama.
You might get a bump in the polls temporarily Obama but George W. Bush deserves the credit as do the men and women of the U.S. military and special ops.
Patriotric Americans are leaving flowers and flags in front of George W. Bush’ home today.
Thank you!

My alma mater George Washington University is 3 blocks away from the White House. I assumed when I saw the crowd that the word had got out to the College Democrats.

The raid was scheduled for Saturday, the day when Obama and most of the West Wing was due at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. But weather pushed it to Sunday.
Did Obama hope to make the announcement at the end of the WHCA dinner ?

Somebody said that Bin Laden’s death at this point feels almost anticlimactic and I agree. I thought the evil son-of-a-sow got killed off a long time ago, and the Islamic terrorists still want to take over the world and bring back the caliphate.
The euphoria from this news won’t last; it won’t translate into “FOUR MORE YEARS!!!” unless the economy comes roaring back and Obama’s administration suddenly decides to unleash capitalism, which I’m not anticipating.
Verdict: Meh.
RDZ commented:
Great comments – but, I have a real issue with NBC Gregory, his military experts and all of the other military experts who were consistant with this all taking place a week ago. One even made the comment that the reason it took until now was due to the need to match up the dna’s. Most who have commented this morning who understand dna and matches, claim that due to chemicals needing to evolve the tests, it takes a minimum of three days and in most cases as much as a full week – so, Junior lied again last night – and, today, an entirely contradictory timeline has been released – who do YOU believe? The experts who had the same story, including NBC’s Gregory – or the new timeline?
RDZ commented:
What’s interesting about this is how political this has become – however, anyone who listened closely to junior’s speech last night – he quickly shifted from how it was a joint effort to it being all about him – folks, we can’t afford this type of leadership – I don’t care what color he is – most of us don’t – those who try to make all of this racist are always looking for an excuse to bail junior out. Made me sick watching him take the bows last night but had GW not provided junior the best military on the planet to abuse and threaten not to continue paying if he didn’t get his way with the budget, it gives you a true insight on just what type of Commander in Chief he is – everything has to be about him and that’s not true leadership – that arrogance and the rest of the world sees it too…

Myself, along with many others on the right side of the political spectrum will give President Obama credit where credit is due; will you lefties give that credit to President Bush as well? After all, was it not the the policies which were set up by President Bush, the very same policies still in use by this administration, that accomplished this victory? I think not. Where are your screams and protests now Lefties? Despite the fact that you lefties think that us on the right are just a bunch of flag waiving ingnorant red knecks who will jump sides and support President Obamas’ disastrous economic policies and spending the U.S. into oblivian as well as the nefarious actions of the Democrat Party over the last four years betrays your own ignorance. we all know that if President Bush were still in office and UBL had been taken out, you lefties would be out there screaming”Conspiracy; Bush had him all along and did this as a political stunt!”

Speaking of NBC and the rest of the media..
‘The terse announcement came just after 9:45 p.m. Sunday from Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director. “POTUS to address the nation tonight at 10:30 PM Eastern Time,” he wrote on Twitter, sharing the same message that had just been transmitted to the White House press corps.
According to Brian Williams, the “NBC Nightly News” anchor, some journalists received a three-word e-mail that simply read, “Get to work.”
The nation’s television anchors and newspaper editors did not know, at first, that President Obama would be announcing the death of Osama bin Laden, an extraordinary development in the nearly 10-year-long war against terrorism waged by the United States and its allies. But reporters in Washington suspected almost immediately that the announcement could be about bin Laden.’

FRIDAY #94
oh yes.. however, it was just a wee segment of a much larger crowd
being spurred on by an Obama “minder” (much older guy in red tea)
one could not miss, reminiscent of faux pallywood scenes, or Daffy’s
Zenga Zenga song..

Marvin #96, conservatives aren’t the ones who bus people to their demos with matching shirts and pre-printed signs. That’s what Dems do.
Radegunda commented:
Oh, and Marvy, whenever someone hauls out the Fox News bogeyman, it’s a sure sign of being anything but an independent thinker.
AuntieMadder commented:
#96 – FYI Because it’s been moving in a leftward direction for the last couple of years, most conservatives have turned off Fox News. So, the “letting Fox News tell you what to think” meme is not only BS but it’s also outdated. Fox News is no longer relevant to most conservatives. You need to update your troll talking points.
AuntieMadder commented:
@ #21 James Flynn – On April 21, ten days ago yesterday, the US and Pakistan came to agreement on a deal: 85 drones (mini-drones) and $millions with $billions more to follow. Yesterday bin Laden, who was living like the Jedd Clampett of Pakistan in a freakin’ “mansion” across the street from a police dept. in a city crawling with Pakistani military because it’s the home of Pakistan’s military academy, was executed by American military for the crime of masterminding and funding the murder of thousands of innocent Americans. Today Pakistanis are burning US flags in the streets as demonstration.
It’s not hard to piece together. It’s all there, including the “ten days ago” screw up of the initial news reports last night.

No. No, it does not.
Pragmatist commented:
Me, me, me!!!
I believe the crowds were not planted by the left!!!!!
But that’s because I believe America is a nation that will want to celebrate when its enemy is defeated and will regard that defeat as a tribute to the nation and its leader without regard to party. I know. Foolish me. Putting country above Party is so disgusting to the elitist Right and their Tea Party lackies, but I was raised to love my country and it took.
Mean Granny commented:
Ya know, we can thank Donald Trump for obama finally taking some action here. Supposedly we’ve known where Bin Laden was since last August. My guess is the plan was for obama to pull this out of his a** just before the election in 2012. But with The Donald making obama look worse and worse, the big zero needed to use his ace in the hole right now. Now he’ll have to come up with something else in 2012.
Not to mention, it’s a nice distraction from the birth certificate stuff, the economy, oil prices, you name it. Guess I’m just cynical, huh?

Pragmatist,
I believe you. Really I do.

How will this play in the election? Let me ask this question – What is happening at the Fukushima reactors in Japan?
My point is that a few weeks ago the problems at the reactors were top of mind, end of the world stuff. Now …?
Will the American public remember this 3 months from now? How about 12? Will this event fill up our gas tanks? Will it get us a job?
I have always found the the pleasure derived from “sweet” revenge is fleeting and always leaves a bitter aftertaste.

College age kids were 8 or 9 years old when 9-11 happened. It is impossible a 9-11 related capture could draw this kind of emotion or could get them to the White House on a school night. The educational left has spent years downplaying 9-11 and believes it’s something to forget about. It is yet another charade accepted as a genuine emotional event, media selling ‘joyous crowds, patriotic, chanting, 4 more years.’ 100% of conservative media today saying great job Obama, what a great day. Even the sports radio station in NYC this morning said, “no sports today, just cheering that Obama got Osama, isn’t it great for America, etc.” The reality is this will cause already weak Beltway Republicans to use it as a club to tell us to shut up and give Obama whatever he wants. As it stands now, if the final version of ObamaCare takes place, it will change my life permanently for the worse. That’s all I can think of today.
JSDen commented:
Gunny, didn’t GWB disband he CIA unit looking for Osama? That must be why he deserves the credit.
And if the operation had screwed up, who would you be blaming?
theotherjimmyolson commented:
I’ll be sure and tell my young friends in the video that they are Obama’s paid stooges. Among the people who love their country, this will be very good for Obama. For the rest of you, not so much. The south will rise again.
Paula Moore commented:
Very interesting.
I’m coming in late on this thread, but when I saw the news last evening I thought to myself, “My, that crowd assembled fast”. I also started having more suspicions when I saw the large number of young people and the standard Obama campaign signs that read “Latinos for Obama” and “Obama 2012″.
Astroturfed? Perhaps. But if it was, I am saddened that an event that was both historic and justified, may have be manipulated to serve a purpose that wasn’t so much about justice, as it was a campaign strategy.
Howard commented:
This is really funny. The Tea Party was spurred along by very well funded astroturf groups, and NOW Republicans suddenly care about astroturf? Is this a work of satire? You can’t be serious. Are you?

So did the left plan another flash mob at Penn State.

tommy mc donnell commented:
the only positive that these college kids can see in the death of osam bin ladin is that its good for obama. these are the same people you see at all the anti-american war protests. i think i smell a little hypocrisy. obama has already spent them into debt for the rest of their lives as well as the lives of their children. “four more years” and their grandchildren will be in debt for their entire lives also. because of their beloved obama’s spending they are going to be taxed at the highest rate in our history. oh the joy of having a college education.
GW Student commented:
You’re an idiot. The George Washington University campus is 3 blocks away from the White House. It took me five minutes to get there from my dorm. We went to the White House to celebrate the fact that a terrorist who murdered our loved ones was finally gone. Just because we were in grade/middle school when 9/11 occurred doesn’t mean we weren’t deeply impacted.

US may have to release photo of Osama bin Laden’s body
[The warnings came as a photograph broadcast on Pakistani TV
purporting to show Bin Laden's corpse was exposed as a fake.
The photo, which depicted a bloodied head with a strong resemblance to the al-Qaeda leader, was widely used on TV networks and newspaper websites after news of his death broke.
Online users of websites such as Twitter soon exposed the image
as a hoax which had reportedly been in circulation as early as 2009.]]

OBL’s Death a Victory for the Adults
[The children are celebrating and taking credit for the death of Osama bin Laden, but make no mistake about it, this is a win for the adults. This will give Obama a short-term boost in the polls, but I submit after a few days or weeks of liberal celebration, reality will start to sink in for more and more Americans.
Now by adults, I mean folks mature enough to understand that the world is a mean place ruled by the aggressive use of power and that the only way to stop evil from ruling is for the good guys to use more power and to use it more aggressively.
And by children, I mean the overgrown juveniles who refuse to understand this reality as it is and who like to think the Muslim world adored us until Bush-Cheney and Rumsfeld came to power. Long before election day of 2012, this will become evident.
Because when you drill down, the death of bin Laden has nothing to do with the core beliefs of this President or the entire liberal movement.]

re: #124
[So let's look at what really happened.
First, it is instructive that candidate Obama campaigned against the idea of even killing bin Laden. Now he's taking credit for masterminding the entire op and the military hating leftists are now ready to call him the return of Patton.
But let's look at some background. What really happened is that the intel trail that ultimately culminated in Sunday's events started in 2007 at Guantanamo Bay. The first key piece of intel was the identification of the couriers who kept bin Laden informed. I guess we'll never know for sure if waterboarding led to this first nugget of information, but you can bet that whatever it was it falls under the very adult notion of "enhanced interrogation" techniques. In other words, Obama is the beneficiary of tactics he campaigned against -- that were performed at a location he campaigned against.
The credit belongs the adults who put in place these interrogation
techniques and who decided they would take place at Gitmo. That
would be Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Three adults.
And this intelligence nugget led to a four-year chain of events that ended this past weekend with what must have been a real life Jason Bourne scene. But the guys who did this, the Joint Special Operations Command, have been operating in the Afghan-Pakistani theatre for ten years. Sunday night was merely the end result of ten years of hard and dangerous work started by -- the adults.
To sum it up, everything we as conservatives believe about our country's defense, the War on Terror, interrogation, special ops / black ops, Gitmo, and the realities of the world was validated. Our ideas won. Our tactics won. An enemy we never hesitated to call out was killed.
Everything liberals believe about the same was defeated. They are trying to take credit for a win in a war they never acknowledged with tactics they openly hate. With a childish liberal in the White House, that may not be evident to much of the country at the moment. But I predict it will be. Facts are facts. The adults won. The kids were along for the ride kicking and screaming. Americans' curiosity with how this all went down will bring this to light.]
Amen..

Let’s give Obama credit where credit is due. He did not get in the way. There’s something to be said for a Democrat getting out of the way. Now if he would do that on oil exploration and other facets of the economy.

We should be happy , no? Osama is dead. All I see a bunch crying whiners. Which side are you guys on?

Regarding #125.
BG is liar from the get go (first sentence of his long-winded fart filled BS):
“First, it is instructive that candidate Obama campaigned against the idea of even killing bin Laden.”
WRONG. It’s a fact that getting Osama was a campaign promise. He kept it and Osama is dead. Stop spreading lies, xsswipe.

“we overruled him.”
“persistent hesitation to act.”
“What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had
already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert
on the ground attack against the compound.”
“very confused and uncertain.”
There was not going to be another
delay as had happened 24 hour earlier.
Another interesting tidbit regarding this is that the Vice
President was already “up to speed” on the operation.
These figures worked around the uncertainty of President Obama and
the repeated resistance of Valerie Jarrett. If they had not been willing
to do so, I am certain Osama Bin Laden would still be alive today.
another one for good measure..

Tom commented:
Even a person with minimal observational skills could tell that the crowd that gathered by the white house was there to promote Obama and not to celebrate the capture of Bin Laden. It looked like the same types that would be at a war protest. I’m sure the hippie with the earring through his nose is really concerned about catching Bin Laden. Hahaha! Just curious why Fox News isn’t looking into a how the word got out to all of these college students/Obama cheerleaders. l felt like it was a stunt that a communist country or dictatorship would pull by mobilizing a crowd to cheer the leader on. Comical how Obama stalled until a big enough crowd was on the way. This guy likes to manipulate the public.
