That is total BS and you have no idea what you are talking about. As wall street sold derivatives of sub prime loans to create triple A rated derivatives, they sold off to pension funds and at the same time bought hedge funds betting on the collapse. These bankers are not called predatory for nothing, they talked unsuspecting people into loans they could not afford knowing they would be sold off to unsuspecting nations like Iceland, and pension funds for municipality's. Bush and Cheney created lie upon lie to get into Iraq, does WMDs come to mind. Listen and learn and take that tin foil off your head.
Anybody else notice that after all of the "drama" between Obama and Donald Trump these past few days that Obama pre-empted the end of Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" in order to give his speech.... an hour and ten minutes later???? LOL!!! Who "trumped" whom now, Donald?
I'm pretty much against the death penalty in almost all situations, but I'm not ashamed to admit that it feels like righteous payback that the last thing Osama bin Laden ever saw in this life was the muzzle flash of an American rifle.

So hmm, no credit for those who actually got the job done?
No credit for the ones that have fought in the sandbox?
No credit for the ones who died?
Let's just give credit to the man who received all the Intel that the US Military gathered and said "Go ahead and kill the Mofo!" Because you know that's the hardest part of the job...to tell them to do what they have been trying to do for the past 10 years.
Where do you see ANYONE here denying credit to the folks who fought the action?
What I DO see is YOU denying credit to the COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
The fact is - whether YOU like it or not - Obama IS the COMMANDER IN CHIEF (if you are TRULY in the ARMY - YOUR BOSS). HE calls the shots, HE ordered the operation, HE shares the credit - just as HE would have shared the BLAME had the operation gone poorly. THAT'S the way it works - get used to it.

The President sounded like a President tonight. He was somber, straight forward, reflective, and non partisan. He sounded like the leader of a Nation not just the Democratic party.
I still wouldn't vote for him, but tonight he came through for this country on a very important and historical day. I truly believe this was the best speech of his Presidency. I can give credit where credit is due. I hope others can do the same.
Agreed, his best speech was tonight and it came at the perfect time.
