But I've noticed some "It's Obama's fault!" responses so far. Maybe it's Hillary's too.

Kinda reminiscent of RWNJs claiming that it was Dubya who really got Bin Laden.

Very amusing.

Carry on.


Blaming Obama for a raid Trump and Bannon authorized?

The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

You most not have been paying attention. I've heard lots of people raising the issue of civilian deaths over that last 8 years. Heck, the issue has even made it into fictional shows like Homeland, where it was a significant plot line.

To blame this on Obama is just typical Trumpee spinning of the facts. When Obama had that decision to make about Bin Laden, he conferred with all his top people, got their input, then slept on it overnight, before making the decision to take him out. THAT is what a prudent President does, Trump probably threw a dart and it came up "Go ahead".

At the very least, Trump does not have enough seat time yet to be making these serious decisions. Two weeks on the job, and he is already making choices that are way over his head. But his boot lickers love that about him, he doesn't mess around !

Someone needs to send Air Force One to pick up Barack Obama and bring him back to the White House. Apparently he's still the president.

Seriously? This is the excuses you're going to go with to cover up #45's actions? Was Obama in the situation room sitting next to Trump telling him to okay the mission? If you planned a wedding six months in advance but the bakery was intentionally burned down the day they were to bake your cake, are you to blame for not getting a cake or would you blame the arsonist? Lots of last minute decisions are involved in carrying out a military covert mission...decisions that can't possibility be made in advance.

Silly Lefties.

14 to 1 and "it was a success".

30 to 1 + the computer hard drives and "it was a botched raid".

Silly Lefties.

You OWN this Trump supporters. ALL of it
Exactly. This is their "reasoning." First they repeatedly remind us:

"Trump won. Get over it."

Then they say: "Trump signed Executive Order X. It's great to finally see a President taking such an active role in his job."

Next they say, "Trump's mistake was Obama's fault. Obama took over Trump's body, brain, and consciousness and made him unable to control himself when he made this grievous error."

Lastly: "Trump is draining the swamp like no one else. He fires anyone who doesn't agree with him, hires the exact same number or maybe fewer people because of the hiring freeze EO he signed, and in that way is "creating" jobs! What an amazing President he is!"

I still can't believe this is what our country has become.
