Yes, we know darlings. Obama has never done anything right in his life. Everything he's done that looks good was actually due to Bush. Oh, and but Clinton.

Yes, Obama had no role in authorizing the mission, and even insisting on the extra helicopters that saved the mission, right.

/THIS IS WHAT REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE

So..those SEALS just decided to do that on their own?

Yeah, and Osama didn't fly a plane into a building himself.

Dusk-You-n-Me: Yeah, and Osama didn't fly a plane into a building himself.

Of course not silly, Bush helped him.

Blaming Obama for the shiatty economy is like blaming Atilla the Hun for Twilight.

Hey...this is fun.


/no talent ass clown.

And if it had happened on Bush's watch they'd already have a statue of Dubya up where he's dressed as a SEAL and is holding Osama's severed head in one hand and a flag in the other.

Whatever. It's still more than Bush managed to do.

/don't recall obama taking credit, either

what_now: So..those SEALS just decided to do that on their own?

Well of course they did! They knew Obama would wuss out on the whole thing so they told him that they're going in even though they know he's a muslim terrorist sympathizer and then the liberal media changed the story to make Obama look like a hero. Isn't it obvious by now?

When Obama became President in January 2009, instantly, every single problem, every single negative incident became the fault of Obama exclusively.

At the same time, every single positive thing that has happened since 2009, including the killing of bin Laden, has had nothing to do with Obama!

Marshall Willenholly: Right, and no one ever credits JFK with the moon program after his whole "land a man on the moon" speech.

well, now i have nothing to add.

One thing's for certain, it SURE AS fark would have been Obama's fault if the raid had gone wrong. "BOORISH PRESIDENT DEFIES SEC DEF ADVICE, 19 SEALS DIE"

Can someone point me to some quotes or video of Obama taking credit for the actions of SEAL Team 6? I'd like to see what he's arguing against.

Jackson Herring: One thing's for certain, it SURE AS fark would have been Obama's fault if the raid had gone wrong. "BOORISH PRESIDENT DEFIES SEC DEF ADVICE, 19 SEALS DIE"

It would have been his Carter in Iran, and would have similarly killed his reelection chances.

JerseyTim: Can someone point me to some quotes or video of Obama taking credit for the actions of SEAL Team 6? I'd like to see what he's arguing against.

There aren't any. Just a bunch of farking dopes sending around fabricated emails.

Not one will link or quote Obama's address to the nation on the night Bin Laden was killed.

If the mission had gone bad he would have been criticized severely, so I give him a fair amount of credit for authorizing it.

Diogenes: Jackson Herring: One thing's for certain, it SURE AS fark would have been Obama's fault if the raid had gone wrong. "BOORISH PRESIDENT DEFIES SEC DEF ADVICE, 19 SEALS DIE"

Umpossible

/we all know it was *because* of Carter that resulted in the success of the Bin Laden mission
//no, for realz, seriously, no shiat

And what, pray tell, did Mr. Bolton do during his tenure at the UN to help make the world safer from terrorism?

Romney's foreign policy and defense advisers are all the same necon chickenhawks that got us entangled in Iraq.

Yes, but Bush kept us safe*!

* (Except for the whole 9/11 thing. And Iraq.)

make me some tea: Well of course they did! They knew Obama would wuss out on the whole thing so they told him that they're going in

You jest, but I've seen Freep threads where that scenario is treated as fact.

what_now: So..those SEALS just decided to do that on their own?

I don't think "yeah, go ahead and kill that notorious terrorist mastermind" is a very tough decision to make. Finding him and actually doing the killing were kind of the hard parts there.

Diogenes: It would have been his Carter in Iran, and would have similarly killed his reelection chances.

Bay of Pigs.

Like giving Reagan credit for the fall of the Berlin Wall?

tallguywithglasseson: Like giving Reagan credit for the fall of the Berlin Wall?

Hey, he said tear it down and it came down. YOU CAN"T EXPLAIN THAT!

All praise to Herbert Hoover for delivering France from the tyranny of Nazi rule through his masterful planning for Operation Overlord.

Truly, the man had vision.

Diogenes: Whatever. It's still more than Bush managed to do.

/don't recall obama taking credit, either

see
by ordering the seal team mission, obama was already starting to take credit.
whereas bush, well, the mission was accomplished years ago, why are we still talking about osama??

:D

vpb: Yes, but Bush kept us safe*!

* (Except for the whole 9/11 thing. And Iraq.)

and the massive tax cuts, massive spending increase and massive debt increase

flat market, lost jobs, ...

was there ANYTHING that bush didnt fark up??

Mr. Coffee Nerves: And if it had happened on Bush's watch they'd already have a statue of Dubya up where he's dressed as a SEAL and is holding Osama's severed head in one hand and a flag in the other.

If happened on Bush's watch and he didn't give the order (Tora Bora). Obama acted when Bush faltered. Bush used all his moral capital in the wrong war so had nothing left to risk on the real one.

Anyone else pondering if Mr. Bolton would like to be the next Dick Cheney, i.e. VP*?

_{*and all around evil fukwad}

Ever notice how everything Obama does that doesn't involve the GOP is pretty amazing yet every time they are involved the outcomes are lackluster and unimpressive?

ok, assholes, here's how it is:

• obama was already being called carter 2.0
• there was at best a 50/50 shot at getting bin laden
• if the raid failed, obama would be cement his carter 2.0 image and probably be a one-term president.
• the decision to go was his and his alone.
• he went anyway, risking his political future, because it was the right thing to do.

so fark you if you think he had nothing to do with it.

A much better simile would be Reagan taking credit for the fall of the Soviet Union is like Nixon taking credit for the moon landing. In both cases, the die was cast well before either of them became president. As for bin Ladin, even if he didn't do the shooting, Obama was president when the plan was conceived.

vpb: Yes, but Bush kept us safe*!

* (Except for the whole 9/11 thing. And Iraq.)

+Katrina, +the safety of all those people who lost their house/job because of Bush is also questionable.

And Tebow was responsible for getting the Broncos into the playoffs.

/trolling

FlashHarry: if the raid failed, obama would be cement his carter 2.0 image and probably be a one-term president. voters never would have known it had happened in the first place

FTFY

I hope the GOP runs with this. Really bring it home to the American people, ya know?

Really GOP, do it. Remind the American people that bin Laden was offed on Obama's watch and that it's somehow a bad thing. Also, keep reminding America about Bush and how you guys still think he was a good president.

Seriously, do it.

serial_crusher: FlashHarry: if the raid failed, obama would be cement his carter 2.0 image and probably be a one-term president. voters never would have known it had happened in the first place

FTFY

you mean just like they never knew about the failed raid in iran in '79? or how they never knew about the downed chopper in the bin laden compound?

give me a break. if the raid went tits up, al qaeda would've made sure it was front-page news around the globe. hell, the republican party would've made sure it was front-page news around the globe!

Looked to me like he was right there watching and managing in real time.

FlashHarry: ok, assholes, here's how it is:

ONLY THIS

and yet, the tards still think obama had nothing to do with it and bush put everything into play before he left the white house

/anyone else notice that bush completed NOTHING?
/catch osama? nope
/finish any of the wars he started? nope
/obey the constitution? nope
/protect america? nope
