My bad, I thought the President was the Commander in Chief and in control of the military, I guess Seals are an independent group of militia.

And you are so right, Obama is just a terrorist to the American Dream....though oddly enough he is an example of the American Dream, a man who comes from a modest background, works hard for his education, applies himself to public issues, and one day holds the highest office in America....but he is still a terrorist to the American Dream, thanks for clearing that one up hogstooth.

The GOP trying to spin killing Osama bin Ladin as a bad thing is truly baffling. I don't get it and I have absolutely no intention of voting for Obama this year.

Just admit that Obama did the right thing and call it a day.

Killing Osama bin Laden does not make up for the president's complete failure to actually create jobs.. It doesn't change the fact that median household income has been sinking since he took office and that it's still sinking. Success in the first Iraq war was not enough to save President Bush Sr from a bad economy and killing bin Laden won't be enough to save Barack Obama -- unless you keep bringing it up of course. So just drop it and focus on the most important issue this year: The economy.

I am actually surprised too, I thought Republicans wanted bin Laden's body paraded around every city, town, and rural place in this country before throwing him into the dump. They are very confusing people.

Limbaugh and the Republicans are cowering in the face of our enemies.

Indiana Law Grad Asks President Obama: 'Is the American Dream Dead for Me?'

National Law Journal, Young Attorney: Obama Didn't Answer His Question:
A growing number of disgruntled law school graduates have taken the to Internet to anonymously vent their frustrations about high debt and poor job prospects.

Not Ted Brassfield. The recent Indiana University Maurer School of Law—Bloomington graduate took his concerns to the most powerful person in America: President Obama. Brassfield, 30, laid out his financial problems for the president during a town hall meeting about the economy held Monday in Washington, televised by CNBC. Brassfield explained that he's drowning in law school debt and doesn't have the means to contemplate getting married or starting a family. "I was really inspired by you and your campaign and the message you brought, and that inspiration is dying away," Brassfield told Obama. "What I really want to know is: Is the American dream dead for me?" Obama didn't answer.

Evidence showed that Libyan terrorists were going attack US interests – including a taped message from Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri released the day before the attacks, as well as a recent history of multiple attacks on diplomats in Benghazi -- obama did nothing.

Where Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed was an “interim facility” with zero Marines. None.
Instead, it was staffed by Libyan security officers who told Ambassador Stevens to hide in a second building, then directed the terrorists to him. He was murdered and dragged through the streets.

The empty chair should have learned from mistakes made by past presidents on embassy security.
He didn't even attend the security briefing held days before Ambassador Chris Stevens' murder.

The empty chair has Ambassador Chris Stevens' blood on his hands.

I think a big chunk of the credit goes to a film depicting Mohammad as not only gay and having sex on film with men, but also sexually abusing children and animals. If someone did a film like that about Jesus some of you would burst an artery and go after them with pitchforks and torches. They evidently don't understand over there that youtube is different from a regular film in theaters. Still so sure that a statement saying that the film was inappropriate was wrong, or are you RWNJ's now in the business of defending gay porn, pedophiles and beastiality, especially when the central character of a faith is depicted doing all three? It always helps to know exactly what happened before you go on a rant, but that hasn't stopped the Romney campaign or the rest of you.

LOL! I am a Christian, but I'm not sure the Jesus of the far right wing extremist evangelical nut crew is acquainted with the one followed by mainline protestants. The Jesus I follow wouldn't support promoting a film that depicts ANYONE in the light they depicted Mohammad. You people stirred up a mess, and now you don't want to take responsibility for it. Knowing how fragile the situation is in the middle east, only a fool trying to trigger the second coming of Christ (which is what I think you all think you're going to do) would support doing everything in your power to deliberately incite a riot, and people were killed because of it. The terrorists are ultimately to blame, but the way you help a terrorist movement grow rapidly is by pulling crap like this. We're supposed to be the good guys. It's time for some of you to act like it.
