While I’m glad we got the bastard (and I’m grateful that the big dummy in the White House didn’t interfere), it doesn’t change the basic facts laid before us:

We have a compulsive liar and fascist in the White Hut.

Listen, I’m a grown up. I know that ALL presidents shade and guide their words to present things most favorable to THEM. I get that. But this is the first time in my entire life that I’ve had to live under a president who LIES constantly and no media person finds a reason to fact-check. It’s quite stunning. I feel like I’m living in some 3rd world banana republic. Good grief, we have a Justice Department to whom “justice” is an afterthought. I continue to remember the hue & cry that GWB’s justice department was becoming “political.” This bunch makes them look like pikers.

Of course we’re glad that OBL is dead.

But it doesn’t excuse the conduct at Fort Hood, the underwear bomber or all the rest of the smaller terror incidents that this Justice Department has decided to simply ignore, for PC reasons. That OBL is dead does not excuse the people POURING over our southern border, many of whom are OTM (Other Than Mexican). Plenty are from the middle east.

I’m sorry that we’re not “cheerleading” enough for you. But why should we? FReepers tend to be people who are sober, operating on facts. This isn’t DU, after all. The wingnuts are already saying that since OBL is dead, that we should reduce our defence budget; proving they haven’t learned a thing.

But Obama had NO choice. NO person sitting in the Oval Office would have done anything else, had they hoped to be reelected. What he did was not noble; it was essential.

Let me finish by saying this one thing:

As we look over that last two years of Obama’s “reign” (and I call it that because I believe that is how HE views it) and all the things he’s done to completely inflame the American people, imagine this. He has done those things knowing he would have to face the public again, asking for their vote.

Imagine what he’d do with a second term, knowing he would never have to answer to voters again.

Sobering & scary.

“But it doesn’t excuse the conduct at Fort Hood etc..”

Well said. Personally, I think the vast majority of FReepers were glad that justice was served; however, this is one feather. One feather doesn’t excuse all of the wrongs done to our economy, our rights, our Nation as a whole. We are not naive. In fact, I personally believe most FReepers are anything but naive. We don’t see one event in singular terms. How can we? The media was giving credit NOT to the military but Obama. Obama was taking full credit as well. Does he ever use the word “we” or does he only use the word “I”? This morning, what do we face? Well, rising gas prices, an illegal immigration issue, high unemployment rates, rising food prices, foreclosures, etc... I will salute our Military like I always do and pray for their safety. However, I will not applaud/salute/praise Obama for one second.

I have to agree. There is more to it then meets the eyes. The end justifies the means, kill Osama get re-elected. I don’t believe he authorized this for any other reason then a popularity contest to boost his poll numbers, to make him a “man” or “the man”. As well as to avoid the masses from learning that his parentage doesn’t fulfill the presidential eligibility clause of the constitution. Sure eliminating Osama was the right thing to do, God Bless our Troops. Yet, to some of us, it feels dirty, because Obama and his ilk aren’t likely to have done it because it was the right thing to do. He did it because it was the right thing for Obama. Some people will say that doesn’t matter, yet it all matters. We need to be more vigilant then ever and not celebrate the death of one evil man when there are many more evil men, who want to take Osama’s place and inflict worse devastation upon innocent people. If anything I am sad that such evil exists and relieved that good, such as our soldiers, can triumph over it.
