5. He's subtly and cleverly telling Morning Joe to go to hell.
Well, I don't believe that but it would be funny if he meant it.

6. Did this actually go right over your head? Axelrod was responding
to the notion that the President isn't prepared, and OBL was an example. You make it sound as if OBL were the topic. And why do you sound so angry? :shrug:

9. I'm angry because the guy that I voted for betrays me every day.
I'm sick of the "WE GOT BIN LADEN! USA! USA! USA!" because it didn't really solve any of our problems.

10. It solved at least one of them.
Not one person on this planet will be harmed ever again by OBL.

No tears from me over his demise, good riddance to bad rubbish.

14. Why do I feel so nauseated...?
Is it because I hear Democrats making comments that sound just like what Bush supporters say?

Champion the POTUS' power to kill people. gloat over it, brag about it... BUT

It diminishes those who do so. It drags them down. It cheapens them. It makes them into the other side.

It nauseates me.

15. Its the perfect response .... the GOP uses the "we're tougher" stick all the time ...
hitting them with their own stick is effective.

18. Yeah, now that Osama is dead all our troubles are over.
Obama made a politically courageous decision by ordering the mission to go forward. That's the extent of his involvement. The CIA, the military, and particularly the Navy Seals, did the rest. The same as they would have done under any president.

:shrug:

Far more importantly, is how is Obama handling the economy and Congress? On that front he sure as hell is lacking.

:(

21. The Obama administration is doing no such thing.
This was ONE response to ONE asinine MSM question.

Show us where they are waving this around to score political points.

If the GOP had been in the WH when OBL was taken out, we'd never be hearing the end of it.
