Better spiking the ball instead of shoving it down our throats, am i right, cons?

mrshowrules: colon_pow: Headso: QU!RK1019: soy_bomb: Like I said, I hope Obama kicks spiking that football.

soy_bomb: We already know it was Admiral McRaven. Keep farking that chicken spiking that football, Obama!

colon_pow: secondly, the more team obama goes around spiking this football, the more team romney seems correct in the assertion that team obama has nothing else to run on but bin laden.

colon_pow: team obama just landed in Afghanistan and is spiking the football over there.

Don't mind this. I'm just posting it here so I can use it later.

Someone told them to use the term "spiking the football" apparently. "conservatives" sure are rugged individualists...heh

i first heard the term, in this reference, when the president said that we're not releasing the photos of dead bin laden, and we don't need to spike the football.

Which Obama didn't do then and is not doing now. Here's a question. I want your prediction. Do you think Obama is going to talk about OBL in Afghanistan? I don't. Will you go on record with a prediction?

this is the anniversary. it's a no-brainer that he will bring it up. that's the reason he went over there.

What do you recommend, then, for a sitting president to do during an election year to demonstrate his accomplishments during his tenure?

try to have at least a couple.

mrshowrules: I thought the anniversary was last week.

Nope, today's the actual 1 year anniversary. It's easy to remember since it was on May Day.

Even though I don't celebrate it. Although one really doesn't "celebrate" May Day do you?

I'm sure both you and the other terrorist sympathizer were coincidentally referencing something Obama said a year ago.

Usually when I think of celebrating, I think of happy, jubilant, things. Not protests and riots.

May Day folks celebrate it like the folks in Greece celebrated austerity.

So, for the past 3 years as you and your butthurt righies have been constantly whining about Obama turning America into a socialist fascist nation was all an act.
Which is it this week, a do-nothing empty suit with no leadership skills or a communist tyrant determined to destroy 'Murica?

You're hearing it now because the terrorist sympathizers and traitors to the country want to use it as part of an attack not because he said it a year ago and you are coincidentally bringing it up in symphony with the other right wing simps.

Well, our economy isn't a smoking crater, and is, in fact, recovering in every measurable way, DESPITE the obstruction and sabotage by the congressional Republicans. That's one thing.

Headso: I'm sure both you and the other terrorist sympathizer were coincidentally referencing something Obama said a year ago.


Total coincidence that they would appear independent of eachother in this thread using the exact same phraseology. Totally.

So, now Obama is in Afghanistan and will give another nationally televised speech tonight.

I have a feeling that this level of extreme ball-spiking will not play well with the American people. Afghanistan is a mess, and the fact that we killed bin Laden did nothing to change that.

Obama's trip is little more than a campaign rally, and that level of utter hubris is not something that the American people will tolerate.

home ownership at a 15-yr low.
housing prices still in the dump
unemployment still over 8%
gas prices

he's gonna have a tough time running on anything except bin laden.

another rugged individualist expresses his opinion. haha!

Arianna Huffington calls it dispicable.

mrshowrules: So if he just thanks the troops/intelligence community, he is "spiking the ball"? Where does it cross the line for you? Just acknowledging the anniversary?

how dare those navy seals diminish obama's glory in carrying out that raid.

Glad to see I'm not the only one entertained by these guys who "think they think what the American people think".

Seriously though, has Team Romney offered anything that didn't involve the word "tax cuts"?

mrshowrules: I love how Conservatives are all butthurt over Obama commemorating this anniversary.

Imagine how violently their heads would asplode if Obama makes an announcement that they have now officially destroyed al-Qaeda.

Nah, too much.

He'll probably make a speech thanking the troops and the intelligence community. And Republicans will try to spin it like him taking credit for PERSONALLY walking into the room and shooting bin Laden. And nobody but the useful idiots in the Tea Party will buy it.

Y'know, just like what happened immediately after the announcement of the raid.

mrshowrules: I love how Conservatives are all butthurt over Obama commemorating this anniversary.

I don't think there's any emotion there, they are told to say that he shouldn't be touting his foreign policy successes and they repeat like a parrot. They are programmed down to the exact phrasing of their "complaints" and "concerns".

So acknowledging/thanking the seals ingratiates himself? What would be an appropriate acknowledgment of this anniversary in your mind?

Resigning the Presidency, but not before making Sarah Palin president for life and outlawing the Democratic party.

Bwahahahaaa. Your concern sounds genuine.

So, how do you feel about the level of utter hubris in giving a speech on an aircraft carrier with the words "Mission Accomplished" in the background? Should that be considered spiking the ball before making the touchdown?
And who created the mess in Afghanistan, anyways? Do you think moving most of our resources into Iraq helped or hurt that effort?

WombatControl: I have a feeling that this level of extreme ball-spiking will not play well with the American people. Afghanistan is a mess, and the fact that we killed bin Laden did nothing to change that.

You sound....concerned!

You're right. The American people are not happy that OBL is dead.

Moron.

What is this I don't even

Thanking the SEALs for doing it is somehow saying "how dare they diminish his glory"?

That is....wow.

I don't even know how to respond to something so retarded.

DAMN OBAMA AND HIS STUPID TIME MACHINE!!! STOP BURSTING A HOUSING BUBBLE BEFORE YOU TOOK OFFICE!!!

On Surprise Visit to Kabul, Obama to Sign Partnership Agreement With Karzai

President Obama landed in Kabul, Afghanistan, on a surprise visit, to sign a strategic partnership agreement with Afghanistan meant to mark the beginning of the end of a war that has lasted for more than a decade.

Mr. Obama, arriving after nightfall on Tuesday under a veil of secrecy at Bagram Air Base north of Kabul, flew by helicopter to the presidential palace, where he was to meet President Hamid Karzai before both leaders signed the pact. It is intended to be a road map for two nations lashed together by more of than a decade of war and groping for a new relationship after the departure of American troops, scheduled for the end of 2014.

Mr. Obama was scheduled to address the American people from Afghanistan on Tuesday evening, which would be the middle of the night in Afghanistan. The address - on the one-year anniversary of the American raid that killed Osama bin Laden in neighboring Pakistan - will give Mr. Obama a new opportunity to make an election-year case that he has wound down two inexpensive and now unpopular wars, in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

Wow, so now even negotiating the withdrawl of our troops from a desert clusterfark is grandstanding. You people are pathetic. Go cheer the loss of American lives while claiming the Left is weak on foreign policy somewhere else.

What makes this whole deal even sweeter is how the Republican Party essentually set President Obama up for success on this issue. For years they played up Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist threat. They are the reason why the swing voter is so easily influenced by this topic. They also won many an election using this tactic. Now it is being used against the GOP and President Obama just has to furnish some results in the war on terror without worrying about creating the underlying fear. The GOP has done that job for him.

It was sort of perfect, actually. The GOP set it up so that a) everyone was afraid of bin Laden and b) everyone thought the GOP were the only ones capable of getting him. With a single stroke, Obama eviscerated both.

Il Douchey: ST6: "Mr. President, we've cornered BinLaden. Our Seals are poised and ready to strike, every second of delay jeopardizes the Seal's lives and the mission's success, so all we need is your simple consent to do this thing"

Obama: "But I'm in the middle of an important round of golf; and we still need to round up everybody for a historic photo-op. I really need to think this over"

ST6: "But, Mr. President, surely you've considered this nearly inevitable endgame call already; it's the culmination of everything we've been doing for the last decade...It's a simple question Mr. President, just answer yes or no, and we can move on"

Obama: "OK, look, we're at the turn; just give me forty minutes to grab a hot dog and put a black jacket over my golf shirt and I'll meet you in the Situation room for the picture -I mean the call, the call"

We get it. He's black

Ok, ok. Maybe more like "b) everyone thought the Democrats couldn't get him"

amiable: And romney just had to fire his spokesperson for national security and foreign affairs, because he was gay and thus he couldn't put him on television to rebut the current bin laden stuff. Wow, this is really turning into some high-grade clownshoes.

No kidding! This goes beyond the National Security angle, and reframes the Republicans as obstructionist and weak. National Security was something that Obama was looking at ever since 2009 and Bin Laden's death meant he had it sealed up. And now the Republicans are hemhawing?

Obama is just poking holes all over the Republican boat. National security, the economy...what do the Republicans really have left at this point? Their social 'conservative' issues that have been shown to alienate everybody else? Clinton must be off laughing somewhere because his dream of picking the bones of the Republican Party Platform has borne extraordinary fruit. If the Republicans don't get their shiat together quick, they're going to be shiat out of luck. They might as well start planning ahead to lose the next few election cycles just to get some good press. Obama has framed them (accurately) as obstructionist war profiteers that treasure human misery. And it'll stick, too, because the Republicans have no shame in that.

We're witnessing the implosion of one of the worst political parties ever. It's fantastic to watch.
