No surprise to me the rethugs are going after President Obama on killing Bin Laden hears why

It's what they do(In Campaigns) go after the democrats on there STRONGEST SUITS they did it to Kerry in 2004 by going after him on his military record and Vietnam by hiring those swift boat guys who said Kerry was not telling the truth about what happened in Vietnam by the time those ads aired all over the country you would have though Bush was the war hero and not Kerry don't be surprise if the rethugs don't hire some Navy Seals guys during the fall for a campaign ad to go after Obama on the Bin Laden killing you heard it hear first.They tried to do it in 2008 to Obama by attacking him on his speaking skills by making fun of him about the teller prompter

That would not surprise me at all. But I think the Democratic Party learned a vital lesson with that whole swiftboat thing. They did not seem to take it at all seriously, perhaps thinking "surly, the American public will see through this."

No ... I think this time around any attempt at this crap will be addressed promptly, effectively and repetitively.

and these ReThugs hard!! I'm afraid that Obama will be swiftboated just as they did John Kerry because they believed that it was no big deal. These assholes continue to repeat lie and lie. We turned a blind eye underestimating the stupidity of the American public. And look what happened? The Rethugs were very successful at turning a war hero into a coward. They did the same to Max Cleland and John Murtha!!!!

The LAST thing the world needs is Obama, or his supporters, crowing about how good he is at killing people, and passing it off as a progressive value.

"TERRA!TERRA!TERRA!!!!!" loses a lot of its punch when they can't periodically resurrect tapes of their favorite boogey-man.
