No Class: Obama snubs Bush, praises himself
Washington Times ^ | 05/03/2011 | Staff

Posted on 05/03/2011 5:53:40 AM PDT by safetysign

It can be awkward when a dove tries to pass himself off as a war hero. From the tone of President Obama’s speech Sunday night, it’d be easy to conclude he was the one who came up with the idea that America should hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden. He also made it sound like he was the one who formulated the takedown plan. We can look forward in coming days to details of the actual operation, emphasizing Mr. Obama’s intimate involvement.

The kenyan had nothing to do with the OBL kill except to say “ok, pull the trigger”. The moment he walked into the WH he defunded intel and military and loathed anything that protected us. This is strictly political. He’s sorry he had to go after a fellow muzzie. He’ll get a dead cat bounce out of this.

As Rush said...”GHWB had a 90% approval after the Persian Gulf and still lost to Clinton 2 years later”. The kenyan is at a 48% approval or less and has almost 2 years to screw up, which he will. Gas at $5.50, groceries through the roof, unemployment at 20% will be the deciding factor. Killing OBL is nothing to run a campaign on.

The only people that still love Obama are the libs, the lame-stream media and union thugs. The rose-colored glasses have been knocked off independent voters and they see Obama for what he is: an empty-suit incompetent blow-hard.

Wait a minute, he wants America to unite like the Dems did for Bush in the WOT. Time to rally around the Present and reelec...er....come together.

God Bless Seal Team 6

Yep, they got that right. This administration blames everything under the sun on Bush administration. But something that gained traction when Bush was president and allowed interrogation methods to glean valuable information that led to this mission, not a word.

What if Obama had gone through with closing Gitmo right after he was elected. Would this mission have every come to be?

I believe the reports are not that there were no computers, but that there were no wires going into the compound.

From this moment on, BO owes his presidency to the SEALS who saved it on Sunday with their courage and skill.

Maybe not....

Lets look at the facts:

Bush went to war to get this SOB over Democrat/Obama’s objections.

Bush caught KSM and put him in Gitmo over Democrat/Obama’s objections.

Bush water boarded KSM, which eventually led to the information that led us to OBL over Democrat/Obama’s objection's.

Bush created the kill team to go after OBL and probably used warantless wiretaps to help in the process over Democrat/Obama objections.

Then Obama came along and said... oh! you found him! well let me think about this for awhile.... then several months later he said GO!

And now Obama pats himself on the back!

ROFL

If the operation had failed, NO one would have known about it.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Obama or Big Lib Media to give Bush credit for anything. Obviously, Obama planned, equipped, and probably guided the Seals step by step including when and how to pull the triggers on their weapons. The Seals and the CIA most likely didn’t have any idea about how to find and kill Obama without the great knowledge and inspiration of Fearless Leader Obama. None of these vacuous churls will give Bush and the Gitmo intel the credit they hugely deserve in getting OBL.

“To expect classy behavior from Obama is the same as looking at a dog and expecting it to “quack”

But as long as the dog is clean and articulate, people will be awed by his intelligence

*The trove of intelligence vacuumed up by Seal Team Six at the site - computers, cell phones, papers etc. - will turn up all sorts of interesting details about UBLs connections to the Pakistan military and ISI. I'll bet a lot of them are extremely nervous right about now. *

Cool! I hadn’t thought about all the good info they’d get from not blowing OBL’s house up. A lot of muslim bigshots are deciding which wife to hide behind right about now. Preparing themselves for the 72 virgins in Hell that will turn out to be 13 year old boys with pimples.

Here’s what the terrorists say when they finally go to Hell to live with their master forever:
“This is a terrible place! Why do I have to go to the worst part?”
“Oh my lack of goodness! Look, there is a place where they continuously burn the quran!....right next to the place where they print them”

You can’t get blood from a stone, nor turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse. Expecting class from Obama is a sure way to disappointment.

I am starting to surmise that nobama’s frequent golfing trips have really been Seal training in that nobama has been training Team Six personally for several months. My God...if we (the uneducated, ignorant masses of fools) only knew what a Great Leader nobama is. All praise the nobama.

I would expect those implicated will simply disappear or be the victims of mysterious accidents.

If Obama were president on 9/11/01, he probably would have sent US marshals to serve an arrest warant on Osama.
