So, you never know, but it's a big shot in the arm and the Pugs can't say he's weak on defense now.

I knew Obama would catch him. Why? Because he was going about this intelligently. Bush and the Neo Cons always repeated that this was a "war like no other" and then proceeded to fight it like every war prior.

Obama employed forward thinking technology, in this case the power of drones, looking to Pakistan to find this murderer and coward successfully in about 2.5 years. The GOP will still lie, claiming he's weak on defense later on, but it will only make them look foolish, petty and desperate.

Between the monumental legislation he has passed, health care reform, saving our auto industry, keeping us out of the second depression and killing OBL, Obama will go down as one of the most effective Presidents of our generation.

You have to criticize. I was wondering who would be turning this into an insult against Obama and you are the first.

Well, you've done you duty and we couldn't be more proud of you.
THANKS.

Some common sense...finally.

This is a game changer for Obama. It will be nearly impossible for the GOP to beat him at this point.
