[jenmito]

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- President Barack Obama made a previously unannounced visit to Afghanistan on Tuesday, the first anniversary of the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden in neighboring Pakistan.

The president will make a televised address from Afghanistan at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The trip was Obama's third to Afghanistan since taking office. He visited in March 2010 and returned in December of the same year. He also visited Afghanistan in 2008 as a presidential candidate.

1. How Dare He!

5. Oh the Republican heads are going to explode...

bwahaha

6. Yup. How DARE he take attention away from Romney and Giuliani in NY today!

15. POTUS has just made it impossible for them to talk about anything else.

They've been harping on the OBL anniversary for a week already, people are sick of hearing about it, and the President has just ensured they can't jump off the merry-go-round.

This should also knock any coverage of the false-flag OWS infiltrators out of the top spot, so no win there for TPTB, either.

Jeebus, if the Administration can keep this up for another seven months.... Who can deal with that much Schadenfreude?

7. Time to go home

Obama is about to take the GOP's national security BINKY and throw it out the window!!!!

12. Has John McCain Condemed This Yet?

and if not, what's taking him so long?

[jenmito]

13. Believe it or not, he praised it! He was asked about it on CNN. n/t

[DCKit]

16. John McCain can't stay on message two interviews in a row these days.

I'm embarrassed for him.

[jenmito]

17. In the same interview he stood by his comments criticizing Obama about his "politicization" of

getting bin Laden.
