But,more importantly, we need to get to work on building new technology. It will be good for the economy. And guess, what it will be federally funded, and it WILL CREATE JOBS.

Can't have that both ways either. If defense contracts are real jobs, other forms of federal spending are too.

Both ways? I thought the President's role was pretty clear. Did some right wing news media talk about the President being a part of it at the site, in person?

(AP) TEHRAN, Iran - Iran will not return a U.S. surveillance drone captured by its armed forces, a senior commander of the country's elite Revolutionary Guard said Sunday.
If this were Bush, the media would be up his derriere instead of giving him a pass for handing the drone to the Iranians, Chinese and Russians.

Too funny, Obama cannot stand on his own merits with the left. They always have to compare him to Bush. I wonder why that is?

I'm watching this video and he totally did not claim all credit for this.

/would hate to be the Sergeant that lost that drone.

If this were Bush, he'd have no better luck at getting the drone back than Obama.

What do you think?

World Trade Center happened in what year? Or do you even remember that one.

Clinton had him in his hands actually more then 3 times, all after OBL was trying to attack us and was behind many attacks around the world on American citizens.

Now a good question for you.

Obama ordered the murder of OBL right? But he has stalled the trials of the 9-11 members. Why? Using Obamas logic shouldnt we just murder them too?

How come Obama decided not to capture OBL without a trial and yet the others get a trial?

So is Obama the judge and the jury to just order the killing of people and then protect others like KSM?

See Bush's handling of the EP-3 Incident:
Hainan Island incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not only did he ask for the plane returned (which the Chinese did, albeit in pieces), he apologized to the Chinese pilot's wife and paid the Chinese for their "hospitality" for our captured service-members.

That's because Clinton allowed a 25% attrition rate at the CIA while the 9/11 hijackers were taking flying lessons. If the first attack on the WTC didn't serve as a wake-up call for Bubba, nothing would and nothing did.

I credit Clinton for being too busy chasing chubby interns to deal with national security.

I credit Bush for effectively putting al Qaeda on defense and keeping us safe for seven years.


Needless?
