Notice no mention of Myth Romney, Gomer Huckleberry, Tiny Tim or any other dwarf?

"Virtually every tool, every apparatus, every technique, every policy used to effect a successful mission to kill Osama bin Laden was [campaigned against] by this current administration
and now they claim credit for being gutsy and courageous when none of this would have been available to them if they had their druthers?" Incontrovertible.

And during a speech Monday in Colorado, Sarah Palin snubbed Obama, referring to him as "our president," thanking only the Bush administration by name. I doubt Gov Palin will show Mr. Obama any more deference than he extended to President Bush. I don't blame her.

Giving Obama credit for taking out OBL would be like giving Harry Truman credit for winning WWII. Yes, OBL death was on Obamas watch. But Obama was president as intelligence came to light as to where he was. Are there any people who think this would not have happened if McCain was elected or Hillary was elected? It would have happened the same way it did. So Obama did what any president would have done. Nothing special here. No big contribution from Obama. He was simply in office when the intelligence came in.
Essentially Obama had two or three options when information came in as to where Osama was:
1)He could do nothing and let Osama get away. This would have leaked out eventually and would have destroyed his presidency. So this is not an option at all and Obama had to know this.
2) He could have leveled the building with an air strike thus killing Osama but also killing a lot of other people and possibly causing an international incident. These terrorists are famous for surrounding themselves with women and children. This option would involve the least risk for US personnel but would also have the negative of not having the body and we would not have the intelligence of the captured computers and disks. So this was ruled out.
3) Surgical Strike- This was the option taken and in retrospect the only viable option. It was a gamble and had the most risk to our special forces. It had the potential for a bad outcome. But it worked and Obama did the right thing.
But when you look at the options, there really wasn't much of a choice. So Obama doesn't get great credit for what he did. He did the right thing because there were few other options. That's not the spin the left leaning media is gonna put on it. They are gonna make him seem like the most courageous leader since Winston Churchill and the most courageous president since, Abraham Lincoln. Just wait and see.

It’s a BS title, because Rush did not “slam” Obama, he just correctly pointed out that Obama used all the Bush-Cheney policies and mechanisms in order to get him in stead of tearing them apart like he promised to do. Anyone who would deny that needs to go back and listen to what Candidate Obama said in every speech he gave.

And the writer’s point is what? Or is he just a stenographer?
