OBL Politics discussed on NOW w/Alex Wagner - wow -let's put this in perspective....

[jillan]

W went after President Clinton for not doing enough to catch OBL. You can't trust those Democrats to keep us safe.
In fact, I personally remember hearing from rw wackos that it was all Clinton's fault that 9/11 even happened.

Then - the Bush years.
I think we all can remember how every time there was an important vote concerning funding the war or there was embarrassing news dripping out of the W Administration, all of the sudden there was a new tape being played 24/7 on the news of OBL.

2 days before the election of 2004, a new tape of OBL emerged.

I think many of us can remember that piece that Olbermann did pairing up the timing of OBL tapes being released with what was going on in the news at that time. It was stunning.

And then along comes President Obama.
He risked his whole Presidency on this mission. He went ahead with it even against the advice of many of his advisers - including Gates. The death of OBL was closure - it was celebrated, especially here in the US.

And NOW, and only NOW, mentioning OBL is a political stunt????
Not only is this meme coming from the Romney campaign - it's coming from cable news sources!! Oh - it's so divisive.

Give me a break! I hope the Obama re-election campaign boasts proudly & loudly of this accomplishment.
After all - aren't these same people saying that the President has nothing to run on?

If the pugs and the msm can't handle the truth - well that's too f-ing bad!!!!

OBL is dead and GM is alive - get over it!


Kudos to Alex Wagner for doing a segment on this very topic.

1. Had the mission failed, the GOP would hang the failed mission around Obama's neck.

2. Exactly! Add that to the fact that President Obama accomplished something that W couldn't.

3. They put the 2004 GOP Convention in NYC to be as close as possible to GROUND ZERO & they

moved the timing of the convention as close as they could to September 11th!

That entire campaign used 9/11 & OBL to try to scare the country.

They were running on a Failure by them to keep the US safe but they cry & whine about Pres. Obama running on his success.

No one should concede one inch on this topic & people like Arianna should get hell for being such useless idiots.

4. It's the only topic today

Tamron is also discussing it.

Fuck all the ReTHUGs. Obama took out Osama.

5. You have to admit that Obama standing in front of that banner on that carrier was pretty political.

...oh wait.

6. And according to Biden, President Obama doesn't need any enhancements either

Having a big stick, and all

7. Martin Bashir (my future husband) is really having fun with the hypocrisy.
