Jeez, I go away on vacation and you guys go all Obama on me ("Obama's Rebirth," Talking Politics; "Taking the Long View," editorial, both May 6). If Obama sucked 10 days ago, why does a 40-minute Seal-team mission make him a hero? All he did was say "Go" when presented with information about the possible location of Osama bin Laden. I think any red-blooded American would have said the same thing.
Your noses are so far up the president's arse, it's hard to see your Birkenstocks. We should "engage in talks with the Taliban about cooling the war." Really? Obama is "the architect of bin Laden's death." What? It took thousands of people over 10 years to come up with the tip hand-delivered to the president last August that bin Laden was in Pakistan. And what of all the practices Obama hates so much, and of Gitmo? These actions, dating back to George W. Bush, were critical to us getting bin Laden. "Many overlooked the intensity of Obama's ambition." You're kidding, right? You praise Obamacare while admitting it is "imperfect." Ha. If you think MassHealth is a disaster, wait until we get the supercharged version!
This president is vulnerable, and recent polls prove how unpopular he is. We are all praying for 1/20/13!

“Your noses are so far up the president’s arse, it’s hard to see your Birkenstocks.”
LMAO - perfect!
Actually, this suggestion is legitimately debatable. We originally attacked the Taliban because they had supported al Quaeda.
If they stopped providing any such support, we would have no particular reason to object strongly to their having control of Afghanistan.
Their domestic policies are not a whole lot worse than a number of other Muslim countries.
And where is it written that we must occupy other countries to keep an oppressive regime out of power? If we apply that consistently, we're going to be occupying a lot of countries.
Although I agree with this guy, he should have read up on the subject first.
Obama didn’t say go.
Leon Panetta did.
Obama and his friend Valerie Jarrett tried to talk Leon out of it. Obama knew for at least 4 months where Osama was before Osama was killed by the Seals.Panetta gave the go signal without Obama’s knowledge.
There are a lot of stories out about it ,but for some reason the MSM wants to credit Obama.
I’m surprised this was printed.
Usually, the letters to the editor section is an echo-chamber for the newspaper’s ultra liberal point of view, into which a small number of poorly thought-out, grammatically incorrect, and just plain nut-case conservative letters are inserted to demonstrate the newspaper’s “balance.”
I used to go to the Austin Statesman website but haven’t been there for some time. You made me go there again to see if the letter writers are still sucking zero’s member, and I was not surprised they still are on their knees. The liberals in Austin are still slobbering as the have always been.
If the SRM had reported the truth as they should have ("I've campaigned in all 57 states" by obozo vs "I can see Alaska from my house by Tina Fey, not Gov Palin)", I don't think that @hole would have been elected.
