Wow, Obama personally flies drones for the CIA? Amazing! He is really a multifaceted guy.

Kind of hard to believe a guy who thinks there was a nefarious plot by Iran to hack and land a drone, because...well he says so.

Wow, Obama personally killed Bin-Laden.

You can't have it both ways.

So wait. Obama is responsible for getting Bin Laden, yet has no responsibility for this? The left can't have it's cake and eat it too.

Funny, I never saw the right holding Bush responsible for 9/11 while praising hgim for a needless invasion/occupation, I guess only the self-Righteous are allowed to have it both ways, eh?

I realize you're really impressed with the wittiness of your self-Righteous line but seriously, it's just not that clever.

Where's your condemnation of Clinton for letting Bin-Laden loose when he was virtually handed to him? Guess admitting that wouldn't be politically convenient.

I'll take them both (Bin Laden and the Drone).

We're screwed on the lost drone, but that happens. I think it will be good for the economy. We obviously built it, so we can fight it is other try to reverse engineer the drone. 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.

Lol, you never heard me claim Obama was responsible for Bin Laden, it was he and his supporters who claimed this. Hence he is also responsible for intelligence failures.

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?
