DCCC: Obama 'more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda' than Bush

DCCC: Obama 'more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda' than Bush By Tony Romm - 12/30/09 01:37 PM ET

Democratic strategists Wednesday asserted President Barack Obama "has been far more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda" than the previous administration .

In an e-mail this afternoon to supporters -- which incidentally excoriated Republicans for politicizing the attempted bombing of Flight 253 -- the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) stressed it was President George W. Bush, not his successor, who relegated the fight against the terrorist network to the back burner by turning "its focus from al Qaeda to Iraq."

Ultimately, the DCCC's charge on Wednesday is but a direct response to a new fundraising pitch by Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) -- a petition Democrats say exploits the terrorism plot in an attempt to raise campaign dollars.

Hoekstra, who is running for governor in Michigan, asked voters in a letter on Tuesday "who will stand up the Obama/Pelosi efforts to weaken our security" to donate to his gubernatorial war chest.

"It is insulting that The Obama administration would make such a claim, but then again, these are the same weak-kneed liberals who have recently tried to bring Guantanamo Bay terrorists right here to Michigan!" Hoekstra wrote earlier this week.

I just heard that ridiculous statement on a radio newscast. I couldn’t believe it.
The dems always say, if you’re gonna lie, make it a big lie.

So that explains why there have been more casualties and attacks than since any year since the war began?

“...too much LDS in the 60’s.”

I always thought Romney looked like Spock.

What's funny, or maybe not...

W's first State of the Union address, he emphasized that Al Q. Aeda was the biggest problem we're facing...

and he got reamed because nobody knew what he was talking about.

“DCCC: Obama ‘more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda’ than Bush By Tony Romm”

It’s BS like this that shows you can’t take these people seriously. Sounds like Napolitano saying the system worked.

LOL, my aren’t we defensive today DCCC.

Keep letting more Gitmo boys either out or put in US prisons.

Keep spending unbelievable amounts of money.

Keep taking freedoms away and redistributing wealthy thru universal health care coverage that punishes small business and the elderly on Medicare.

That’s the one way tickete back to your district for good lol.

Oh Really! How about this. Obamas treasonous congress cut $300 million from a successful counterinsurgency program used by Army field commanders. That money is used by commanders on ground in Iraq and Afghanistan to fund small projects that help win over the local population. But plenty of pork was added to the defense bill, like a Visitors Center in California, etc. etc. It's enough to make one want to Vomit!
