Osama died in 2001. I'm so sick of lies. Bush knows this. He has a lot to be quiet about. Building 7 was an inside job also.

I agree that President Obama deserves most of the credit for the decision (not not actual tactics taken by the US Navy Seals which they deserve the credit for) to take out Bin Laded. Furthermore, whether Mitt Romney would have taken a different decision, it is unfair to assume that he would have made a different decision. Therefore, it is a low blow to use this statement as part of a campaign by the Obama campaign team.

USNEWS: The real story here is the slam made by Navy Seals who are justifiably angry at Obama for taking credit for the Osama killing. Even Arianna Huffington condemned this idiotic ad campaign.

Navy Seals are calling Obama's taking credit a "Cheap Shot". Even Arianna Huffington stated that this is despicable.

That tenet about politics stopping at the water's edge ended many decades ago. I had learned that in high school but found it untrue just a few years later during the Vietnam War. This is only being invoked because Obama's re-election chances are getting poorer and he wants to take be seen as tough in foreign diplomacy. He isn't and he isn't ever likely to be but he wants the perception. The Republicans should do just as the Democrats have done for decades and ignore the "gentlemen's agreements" of the distant past. All is fair in love, war, and politics.

Where Obama's blowing it is not talking class warfare every time he gets in front of a microphone.
"Americans: You're poor, and the harder you work, the poorer you get. And the reason is that the Republicans and bought-off Democrats in Congress are taking corporate money to keep you poor."
THAT's what he ought to be saying, every dad.

Joe Biden called it last week, when he said You want a Obama Bumper Sticker.
Bin Laden is Dead, and
General Motors is Alive.
That only Cost $ 6 + billion Dollars.
