DeaH: They played this card way too soon. All it takes to counter this is a commercial with some former Navy Seal talking about how gutsy Obama's call was and then mentioning that Romney is on record saying he wouldn't so the same.

Romney is on record taking all sides to every issue. He truly is the best candidate, as he is all things to all people at all times. However, as an actual office holder that must take a single position, any single position, on specific subjects and then fight to see them realized, not so much.

Good, the more they want to differentiate the party that starts wars from the party that wins them, all the better.

Arends, a Bronze Medal veteran who in 2004 served as an infantry Platoon Leader in Baghdad, said the president is "doing a dance in the end zone now with Brian Williams in the Situation Room and we think it's all in an effort to help his campaign and instead he should be giving the real credit to the real heroes who made the kill of bin Laden possible."

Obama apparently took all of his punctuation away.

FTFA:"What you've seen from President Obama is he's not only spiked the football, he's signed it, he threw it up in the stands with the fans."


I'm okay with spiking the football, and then signing it. But throwing up on the fans is just a bit over the line IMHO.

amazing how these separate entities use the same metaphors and imagery

mrshowrules: because keeping OBL's killing in the news is a winning GOP strategy

They should also remind voters that Obama was a socialist when he saved GM

Oh, Obama did that? Before he was president. That's cool, can I get in on some of this going back in time stuff?

I like how we are >100 posts into this thread and there has only been one extremely feeble troll attempt by the Fark League of Fail.

Even they can't defend this type of swiftboating crap.

Number of bin Laden's killed by GOP Presidents: ZERO.

IrateShadow: She comes in colors everywhere: All the Republicans who are actually qualified are sitting this one out and waiting four years.

They should have at least made an attempt. Throwing this year the way that they have might decimate them downticket.

Eh this is kind of a throwaway year for the GOP. Lots of seats that are up for grabs are the Democrats' to lose.

As an independent and undecided voter, I had completely forgotten about Obama's successful raid that captured bin Laden. This will be important to me when I make decide who to vote for this November. I am sure glad Obama reminded me and I hope he reminds me again.

So yah, seems totally unbiased and transparent. Must be legit

Joel Arends sounds like a Bush era shill who was given his medal as a political reward. I can understand why conservatives would look up to him given that he sounds like a verminous sack of crap.

They probably gave him Pat Tillman's medal after they killed Tillman.

So GWB saved GM? Or was there another President between GWB and BHO?

Actually Obama didn't do much to bring this up. He mentioned it in one speech and had 1 internet ad regarding this. It has been the GOP that has kept this in the news. So you can thank the GOP for constantly reminding you of it.

Remember, Caesar, that thou art mortal.

dr_blasto: Can I ask, also, who the fark actually plans to vote for Romney because they either like him or believe that Romney would actually make a good president? Seriously. Any of you Farkers plan to vote for Romney because you believe in Romney or are you just voting against Obama?

I am an independent undecided voter and if Romney were elected, I'd be OK with it, I guess. A Romney presidency would be better than living a life with herpes or having to put a beloved family pet down.

Muta: As an independent and undecided voter...

You sound concerned.

given the choice between another GOP president and putting down fluffly, I say hand me the needle.

There are some subtle ones there. I'm not sure if they've deleted the more obvious ones. It's disturbing reading. Not just from their slimey way they represent as some independant grass roots organization but the knuckledraggers who post in there that believe it

"@Steve W Allen, OBL was neutered, a fate worse than death for him! Do you really think our intelligence community just let him be? If that was the case he would still be alive! Use your brain!"

What I get out of that is we had Obama neutralized and it was worse than dying to him. Thanks Obama, for screwing up such an awesome plan. Nutjobs

No, the vet card only works as an October surprise. This early in the game, it's too easy to trace the cash and counter the move.

This far out, they probably have enough time to call in one of the ST6 members that was part of the raid.

Well, they could, but 0bama had all of the Seals involved killed. Hindsight sucks.

panetta's memo

"Received phone call from Tom Donilon who stated that the President made a decision with regard to AC1 [Abbottabad Compound 1]. The decision is to proceed with the assault. The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven's hands.

[If things go bad, it's McRaven's ass]not part of memeo

The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out. Those instructions were conveyed to Admiral McRaven at approximately 10:45 am."

Exactly how is this Obama covering his ass? Obama put the operation in the hands of the person who was most qualified to oversee carrying it out. Unless of course you think that Obama should have been calling all of the shots himself.

And stepped up to cover everyone else, as well.

I know a Republican "veteran". He was in the Navy Reserve for three years washing windshields at Miramar one weekend a month. No other job. Did the normal two weeks on a carrier. But to hear him he was a bad-ass Plane Captain who singlehandedly serviced and saved half of the aging F-14 and F-4 reserve component. Oh wait, he never mentioned the F-4s, just the Tomcats, even though the F-4s made up half of his reserve squadron.

He is "Mr. Veteran" because he relates everything...everything to those three years of one weekend a month. He can't get a job? Discrimination against veterans. Me? I was a "life-long civilian", said in the most sneering manner possible. He recently applied to "Heroes to Hired" in an attempt to get his first real job. He's 42 and has worked part time as a janitor for 10 years now at a sporting goods store. Well, less than part time, because he generally only puts in 2 hours a day. I'm sure he'll join this group to defend the honor of the Nay Reserve (he never told us this, BTW. He was very secretive about his actual service title and unit, wonder why?)
He didn't even get the National Defense Ribbon because they kicked his ass out just before Desert Storm. Oh, and if you didn't know, in his day and for his MOS the Naval Reserve apparently did not do basic training. So he never had that either.

what i'm saying is, if the raid was not successful, obama would simply point to this memo and say that the additional risks were not brought to him for consideration.
McRaven went rogue.

I didn't realize those were candidates on the ballot... Man, I really need to check out the news more.

WizardofToast: They're just throwing a fit because Obama just contradicted their "Obama=Osama" joke/talking point in the hardest way possible. But I will say the downplaying something they rode the coattails on for 8 years just because the other side actually did it isn't going to fare well for them.

Name easily confused with someone else? KILL THE SOMEONE ELSE.
