There might be more to the bin Laden story than most accounts reveal. Take a look at http://www.binladenslastdays.com

After Clinton had destroyed the intelliegence apparatus in the USA, Bush found in the wake of 9/11 that a lot of rebuilding had to be done. It was obvious by all accounts that evidence gained during Bush's watch with his sanctioned interrogation techniques that delivered the shreds of evidence leading to the courier.
Obama was along for the ride. I am surprised he gave the order to commence this operation, but I am glad he did.

Obama -- glorious leader -- pulled it off, brilliantly. CIA and Navy SEALs? They only helped. And Bush? He failed.
Obama did indeed look different. He finally did what we expect a president to do. Without being dragged to it. From his initial starting point, 180 in the opposite direction, like proposing to close Guantanamo. Or try KSM stateside in federal court. And good to see so many recognize that Bush-Cheney did the leg work for Obama on this.
But what's with Plouffe for thinking this was a good foto op:

Looks like they told Obama he could stay in the room if he doesn't touch anything, keeps quiet, and sits in the corner. Unless Plouffe is really working for Hillary, who like any good actor steals the scene with a simple hand gesture.
Obama finally lived up to expectations. That's what Milligan describes as 'brilliance.' No high hurdles for Obama. Just a line on the ground to waltz over to be 'brilliant.'
Definitely: Kudos to Plouffe. For finally advising Obama to do what a president should do. When he should.
So what gives with Milligan anyways? In a previous post, she said we should be leading not controlling the rest of the world:

To start the definition of victicrat - Someone who believes that every negative situation in their life is brought on because of their race.
My dislike of Obummer has nothing to do with his race, I could care less as most Americans, and if you don't believe it you are just ignorant and here is why, Obummer could NOT have won the last election had it not been for a large numbers of "white" Americans voting for him. That fact in and of itself should prove that America is NOT a racist nation, but unfortunately we have our share of racist people from all races. The judgment of a person based on the color of his skin and not the content of his character is not a one way street.
Let's just look at Obummer's record, look at his past employment, look at past military service, look at the people he associated with his entire life, look at his past performance as an elected official in and from Illinois. If this qualifies him to be the most powerful man in the free world we are in trouble. Better yet, let's compare the records of Obummer and Col. West. This comparison takes the race issue out of the equation and it would be just on who is more qualified to be the Commander in Chief. I for one would follow Col. West to hell and back, knowing all along that he was a man with more character than the majority of people.
So the bottom line is that it is not about the color of Obummer skin, but about his ideas, beliefs, and lack of leadership for this great country, so take off the victicrat glasses and look at the content of this man.

It was the same self grandizing Obama Sun. night as he's always been . Shallow , hollow empty suit , takes credit for good things and blames others for the bad . We hear no more from him on the Libya conflict he organized and started , it's not going so good , ah but wait , it might turn around then we'll hear from his sorry as- .

Now that we are learning more about Bin Laden killing we are finding out that the intelligence used was extracted through water boarding. Yes, the very act that Obama has put an end to. Thus, future killing of US enemies will prove to be more difficult. Also, where is the credit that should be given to George W. Bush? It was his enhanced interrogation policies that provided the intelligence used in the raid. His overthrowing of the Taliban and Al-Queda that allowed Obama to launch the raid from Afghanistan. His General, Petraeus, that oversaw the raid ...........

Are you talking about republicans? Your description matches them perfectly. I am glad you can see the danger. Self-righteous simple-minded delusional republicans are our biggest threat. They want to control and dictate everone's lives, ironically, while preaching individual fredom. Insidious isn't. Luckily, most if them are boorish and dim-witted. Though that sometimes does not prevent them from doing great harm and damage to our nation's fabric. Witness bush'es train wreck . We all need to be on our guard and not let them ever put a dummy on the white house again

The Jim crow media and the tea party was created to try and make Pres. Obama a one term Pres, that's why they have no solutions to helping the country out of it's situation. African Americans have always had to prove themselves. Remember the Tuskeegee airmen who never lost a bomber to the nazi's, but recieved rasist treatment in America. German prisoners in the United States was treated better than African American troops during WW2. That's a shame. Hate really blinds some people. Some parents need their behind kicked 4 me3ssing up their children teaching them to hate people because they look different. African Americans have been in every war America has had. Crispus Attucks was the 1st to die in the American Revolution, he was a black man. You all should read the book by Ismaiel Reed. Barack Obama and the Jim Crow Media, return of the N..... breakers.

If he was a white man, those who hate him would fall all over him. The problem is post tramatic white sepremacy overkill. They hate to see an African American in the WHITE HOUSE. They want the white house all white (inside out). It is obvious that he is a very able president. Where is Bush, Chaney, Runmsfeld, and the rest of the pirates who ran the Gov't down the tubes and ran with ur money along with their corp.buddies. Face it it's about color, and that's the truth ruth. He has done more in 2yrs than what was done in the past thirty. Just go to white house.gov and look at what he has done. He has kept most of his word.
