I guess this wouldn't be a big deal if he'd ever bothered to go to Ground Zero before this. It's not like he's not gotten around to going to NYC. Or maybe I've gotten too cynical to be objective.

Cynical? Hell!

I’ll bet Obama cheered as he watched the planes hit the towers....and his ugly wife too!

I wish he would just go away and give us all a “cathartic moment”.

For someone who views Al-Qaeda and terrorism as a simple “law enforcement” issue, Obama sure is milking UBL’s death for all its worth.

One more event and it will cross over into overkill/tacky.

For someone who claims to be so afraid to incite violence among the terrorists you would have thought Obama would have wanted to keep this low key. I mean, to do this on the anniversary of 911 is one thing but to do this now is only connected with the death of Bin Laden (even though the real reason is for photos and video for the 2012 campaign).

“Obama’s New York visit is intended to have a measured tone — not a bookend to President George W. Bush’s bullhorn moment, but more somber and private...”

Excuse making by MSNBC because no-one is showing up on the streets to welcome and cheer him like he hoped for. There is no-one there except police and media....LOL!!

Wonder where the ‘rent a union thug’ mob is staging?

I can't imagine the big 0 would pass up an opportunity in front of the camera to share some of his grandiloquent, historic oratory with the American people.

You see, we're not allowed to spike the football by publishing the death photos, but we are allowed to use the moment to our political advantage.

There are different rules for different people.

Of course we won’t be seeing Bin Laden walking the earth again. We haven’t seen him since 2001 when he died.

I don’t think the spokesman knows what cathartic means.

“The term catharsis has been used for centuries as a medical term meaning a “purging.” Most commonly in a medical context, it euphemistically refers to a purging of the bowels. A drug, herb, or other agent administered as a strong laxative is termed a cathartic.”

Or it could make you puke.

I’m just sayin’.

[kuh-thahr-tik]

So, he’s evacuating his bowels? Live? On TV?! Ew.

He did go to Ground zero .... to scope out the new Mosque location he promoted at the last Ramadan dinner he hosted.

He was there with John McLoser the Infidel.

My f-f-fellow Americans (pause for effect) and New Yorkers,
as we experience this (pause!) cathartic moment for the American a-people, this colonic (and a one and a two and a three) moo-moo-moo-movement, looking out upon your faces I w-w-wonder why (`Swannee River’! Way down upon...) you look so catatonic.

Catharsis for me would be seeing OBL dead in the photos.
