WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says he was saddened to hear of the death of Rep. John Murtha and called his fellow Democrat a steadfast advocate for the people of Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years.

Obama on Monday called Murtha a devoted husband and a loving father who had a "tough-as-nails" reputation. The president says Murtha's passion for service was born during his military career and carried over to his congressional service.

Well Obama spoke up a lot quicker here than he did on the panty bomber. Guess he wasn’t on a taxpayer vacation today.

Let’s just pound some of them ‘nails’ into his coffin then to make sure he don’t get out again.....[That’s right...I said it...and I ain’t sorry and I don’t care what anyone says]

[Gaffer]

Well, you know, Gaffer....I’d expect that 15 minutes from now or less this thread gits pulled...

[Gaffer]

Very nice....very appropos, if you’re into them French words....kudos...

[That’s right...I said it...and I ain’t sorry and I don’t care what anyone says]

Why should you care? He was a slime sucking scum bag. Why sugar coat it?

[Conspiracy Guy]

That’s not needed, his record speaks for itself. His record is a pile of bitter bile.

Who are you Mark Levin?

[hal ogen]

nobama misspoke: he meant “loser” not “leader”. what would nobama know about leading anyway...maybe through some exposure to malaysian comic books in his misspent youth as a mooslim.

[Gaffer]

I really just care about the posterity of it all...I’d like to think that I could be used as an example of crass, thoughtless Conservative selfishness who could revel in the death of such a great, great stalwart of the Democratic mold...were it to be pulled, some young air[head]bunny of the MSM might never find the fodder with which she shall finally put us Conservatives in their rightful condemned hells through magnificent prose of “blah, blah, blah...Obama blah, blah, blan....Republican meanies blah, blah, blah...” etc., etc., etc.
