It's official: Obama has kept us safer than Bush.
And every day that passes without a major terror attack on our soil that takes 2,977 lives means that we've been kept even safer.

Choke on that fact, wingnuts.

1. The day is not over yet. We could still get hit by a meteorite.

But actually, if you're keeping track on an HOURLY basis, then yeah... you're right after all.

We should start a countdown clock.

5. Obviously, this is a rather cruel and harsh meme I'd like to see out there.
Sometimes, we need to say things just to piss off conservatives.

This seems like an excellent way to do that.

7. No, because he was already establishing a neo-fascist lockdown on human rights pre-9/11.

11. on facebook
someone who's a friend to a member of my family (not someone i know personally but whatever!) wrote, in response to another poster who mentioned that we still don't know the truth of what happened that day:

To the first comment left though, I have to say I don't trust any president, but something everyone forgets is for 8 years we were safe! Now there could be problems again.

so thank you, thank you! hope you don't mind if i just copy your post verbatim and add "my" voice to that thread! cause that is what i'm doing. :hug:
