Bush may have not gotten Bin Laden himself, but he got his right hand man as well as countless terrorists plots foiled & the evil dictator Saddam Huessein & his two sons.

Why is GITMO still open? Obama was supposed to close it in a matter of months after he was elected & was going to bring our troops home. What happend to that?

This is why I believe Perry will tap Rubio for VP. He needs to lock Florida and the only way to do it is to pick someone reasonably well liked by the majority of registered Republicans in the state. Bachmann as VP has too much religonut baggage. The only question is whether Rubio will accept.

That is why I would NEVER vote for Perry.

People who say illegal immigration is not a big deal need to wake up.

Are you still on the Bin Laden high?

What else do you got? Is that all you can say.. He got Bin Laden? REALLY!

OH MY GOODNESS!

That suddenly makes everything else in this country okay...

Because we know, now that Bin Laden is dead, there will NEVER be another terrorist attack in the US or anywhere else in the world, our unemployment is going to disappear along with our debt and poverty! And we will live happily ever after.

Default The Gallup Poll is amazing...

Barack broke his prior record disapproval by 2%, reaching a brand new high of 54%.

His Approval rating also set a record low, 39%, beating his old record by 1.

The gap between Approval and Disapproval stormed to minus 15, shattering the old mark of minus 12.

President Obama is proving the truth his hero, Abraham Lincoln, said 150 years ago: "You can fool some of the people all of the time (must be the 39%), and all of the people some of the time (explains November 2008), but you can't fool all of the people, all of the time."

Maybe regulating hundreds of thousands of jobs out of existence at a time of economic stress is not a great strategy after all.

Yeah well maybe the Gallup Polls are meaningless to you................... How bout this tanking, donwhill, sliding up the river, over the cliff, in the deep deep blue sea, economy which is getting worse. Care about that? most of us do, thanks to Obama, not knowing how to handle it.
