I think we're on the same page here. I was just saying killing Bin Laden is the only thing Obama hasn't screwed up.

Proud of this idiot who likes all the attention? You need to hang with a better group.
You mean the guy who calmly walked out and gave a very earnest but proud address?

I thought it was much more humble than say...a President flying onto an aircraft carrier (even though he was closed enough to land by helicopter) to declare Mission Accomplished a war that went on till the end of his Presidency...

...but Obama "spiked the football". Good God, this stuff is getting ridiculous...

Please don't bring up health care....our rates have trippled under that jerk!

It is an insult to the average person's intelligence to promote the oblama agenda or call him anything but what is. Can't wait to send him back to his Chicago congregation so they can sit at his feet and pay for his health care if they like.

Nonsense. He's one of them. They can SAY they don't like him, but that means nothing.

And he didn't screw that up because someone else did it.

You actually believe he sanctioned the mission for poll points?

And how do you know 'it was about to come out...'?

Are you CIA?

Oh, that's right; you're not. You just read it in someone's blog...LOL

Sure, that's why I've yet to meet a Democrat that will disagree with even one thing that Obama has done. That's why I see all of these threads talking about how "smart" and "brave" he is. Um ok.

By the way, nice to completely miss the point. I said it was a common sense decision to get rid of Bin Laden. It didn't require a special bravery. It's something any President would have done. He did his job, for once. But do I think this makes him special? Nope. I think it means he finally did his job, for once. His polling data, as I pointed out, also shows the electorate doesn't think he was too special for doing this either. That was my point, in case you missed it the three other times I made it.

Smart and brave enough? I wasn't aware that he was on the scene. Was he the point man? The team leader?
I love when politicians say we when something goes right and they when it goes wrong.
NO. The smart brave people were the ones who actually risked their lives.
What was brave about what he did?
He knew its what 99% of america wanted. He knew that if it failed it could be spun into lets get him. It was a win win deal. The only risk was upsetting pakistan. We did that anyway.
Smart/brave???? I must have a different definition for those 2 words.

I don't believe that for one minute.

BO was not smart enough or brave enough to get Bin Laden. You'll have to thank the US Navy Seals.
