Thing is though that if Obama wanted to use this to win re election in 2012, he would have kept it hush-hush for a while.

Obama will get a temporary bump in the polls (1-2 weeks), then he will fall again as more negative economic news comes in.

True and Bloomberg has the nerve to tell the 9/11 families he hopes they have peace now. Right, Bloombetg; you who does business with our enemy and partially responsible for putting a mosque near this scared ground.

Bloomberg is a nothing.

I think people need to come to the stark reality that if Barack Obamanation had been President ten years ago, what happened today would never have happened. That America hating marxist bastard would never have sent U.S. forces over there in the first place.

FYI, After watching FOX, there are people in the crowd in front of the White House that are there to use the occasion as a pro Obama rally. They never gave a shit about what happened on 911!

U-2012>Cheap political theater by Obama
it took place ten days ago

The Donald Trump effect, no doubt. Obama is getting off his butt and acting presidential in reaction to Trump's attacks... Interesting.

My understanding is that BHO announced
it during Trump's Celebrity Apprentice.

Yep, he sure did. His speech was so self-serving. He acted as if his goals were so much more noble than Bush’s, without coming right out and saying it.

If it hadn’t been for Bush, we wouldn’t even be in the area.

After 09/11 a Lefty president would have bombed an aspirin factory, a refugee camp and called it a day.

You couldn’t have dragged me away from the satellite feeds on this one.

This is one clueless dude. I also note it took from August last year until now to pull the trigger.

And yet, he describes this as his optimum military goal. Imagine what that portends for his lesser goals.

There is ample footage of Obama railing against everything he is now taking credit for, but as usual, the Repubs will sit on it, and thus legitimize the traitor.

My thoughts too. BUT, I feel he has had this ace card for a while and Trump forced him to play it early. Very funny.

I could give two blanks less about OBL at this point. And I am sure many Americans feel the same.

Frankly, I would be very comfortable watching the Republican party die. It’s a hindrance to all advancement these days. It’s enabling policies have prevented any real challenge to the Democrats dismantling our nation piece by piece.

Replace it with something that rails against the Democrats top to bottom, or watch our nation die by ten thousand cuts.

Does the Democrat or Republican party champion our Constitution? No. Enough said.
