the OBL assassination as Obama's one good weekend in his entire Presidential term......

The pukes will attempt to "Swift-boat" Obama with the OBL raid, saying it was a fluke and that it was the only thing he did right and it was done with the intent to win re-election........yadda, yadda, yadda.

And it's one that needs to be undercut at every turn.

Whenever Bush "succeeded" at anything, it wasn't necessarily the actions of one man. Bush didn't do the job, America did. A Republican president personifies America, so when a Republican president is given credit, America is.

President Obama, on the other hand, is considered separate from America. He didn't accomplish Bin Laden's death. The Navy Seals did. They represent American victory - not President Obama. Because in their minds, President Obama can never personify America in any way.

It's a direct attempt to establish his otherness.

It pisses me off to absolutely no end.

went gaga for Bushie and hearing how he was "packed" you know where and I was sitting there laughing until I came back to reality and shook my head cause our troops were in harms way along with thousands of innocent Iragis. Thousands of people died.

Whereas, OBL and others were killed (Al Qaedas) and no Americans. These goppers are shameless, seriously.

The GOP Minions have all learned how to LIE WITH A STRAIGHT FACE impeccably. Every last one of them repeats the lie without flaw, inflection or qualm. They have women speaking against women's rights, poor people begging to get rid of health care they need desperately, and young people damning the low interest rates of student loans. Who, but a strict student of the father of lies could do this so well?

Can't you tell which one is the true leader? He's on an aircraft carrier for goodness sake.
