You better believe Obama gets to puff out his chest...

[Drunken Irishman]

For four years, he has been dismissed as a weak, ineffective foreign policy leader who has put America at risk, appeased terrorists and apologized countless times on the international stage - and all this coming from his current opponent.

We've heard how he's leading from behind, gravely miscalculating policy, we heard from both McCain & Romney in '08 that his ideas of getting bin Laden, going into Pakistan and killing him, were naive and dangerous and now, after the Bush administration and Rudy Giuliani and every goddamn Republican cockroach politicized 9/11 and bin Laden for eight fucking years, when the President talks up a major accomplishment, he's now somehow in the wrong?

Mitt Romney, you have spent the last four years, you jobless, smug, feckless parasite of a human being, criticizing Obama's leadership and when he exerts it, when he actually accomplishes something your party couldn't do in eight years, he has every right to ram it down your fucking throat. You don't like it? Don't make your career out of being an asshole who questions every maneuver the President makes on the international stage. You brought this on yourself by making Obama's leadership an issue leading up to the bin Laden killing and now you've got to deal with the fallout.

President Obama ain't what you portrayed him and it's eating you up inside, isn't it, Mitt? Too bad, so sad.

1. I noticed from the pictures posted that I didn't see one New Yorker with a smile or gesture

they were happy to see him. He's a fake and fraud and New Yorkers, including firemen, can spot one a mile away. Good on ya New York.

6. Bravo and well said.

All these babypants Republicans do is whine and moan and be offended. Too bad. Obama got the job done. He deserves the praise.

7. Oh, I believe it!

8. The President should double down on this issue.

It is clearly killing the Republicans.

9. K&R. Well said.

Your rant rocks.

10. Yes the President deserves to crow about bin Laden. Now drop it...

...and only use it as part of that really effective line that Biden coined: "Because of this President, bin Laden is dead and GM is alive." And keep hammering away at the fact that under Romney that line would be, at best, only half true. Romney's blase' dismissal of the auto industry and his willingness to let it and hundreds of thousands of jobs to go under should be the real target for the campaign.
