Herman Cain praises Barack Obama for not releasing Osama bin Laden photos
Politico ^ | 05/05/2011 | Juana Summers

Herman Cain said on Thursday that President Barack Obama was right not to release the Osama bin Laden death photos because it would have been a distraction.

"I think all it would do is to basically fuel a lot of unnecessary discussions and, most importantly, unnecessary distractions," Cain said.

Calling the death of the 9/11 mastermind a "major achievement on behalf of the United States of America," Cain said the country should now change its focus to other issues, including the economy and national security as a whole.

Cain's comments came in a Fox News interview ahead of his appearance at the first Republican presidential debate in Greenville, S.C.

Oh for goodness sakes this is what I talking about. The democrats have been so effiecient at polarizing any viable candidate the cowardly Republicans will instead be poised to run their best lay down and die opponent against Obama.

I don’t need the photos. They’re the ball Obama wants us to chase so he doesn’t have to answer any questions about what the hell really happened.

...or about the price of gas, high unemployment, wasted tax dollars, a bungled foreign policy, a marxist economic policy, crony capitalism, union thuggary and an oppresive health care scam.

The BHO admin can not be trusted.

On anything! Why should OBLs death be any different. The transparent (gag) administration can’t be trusted in anything!

Look back and you’ll see that Obama has repeated the same pattern over and over again starting with the Air Force 1 NY flyover.

All we got was that it was a photo op and that pretty much killed the story.

A distraction?

Not releasing them has headlined the news and Internet sites for days now.

Mr. Cain, some of us can actually multi-task, so no, the photo(s) would not be a distraction.

An odd day when I find myself agreeing with Alan Dershowitz and disagreeing with Herman Cain.

HEY hermie don't be squirmy....if a woman has what it takes to 'be a man' don't be afraid to at least follow her lead... you do yourself no good in 'pansy mode'....

SARAH SAYS..“Show photo as warning to others seeking America’s destruction. No pussy-footing around, no politicking, no drama;it’s part of the mission” WHEW, DOES THIS WOMAN EVER GET ANYTHING WRONG?

SHE HAS TO BE AND IS IN FACT, ANY RATIONAL AMERICAN'S PICK TO ANSWER THE PHONE AT 3 A.M.

As a combat veteran I have seen folks with their brains blown out....don’t bother me very much...especially a muslim be it bin laden or one of the other sorry ba$tards. But frankly I believe he is dead...my military brethren would not cover for the liar in chief...and only a fool would believe that zero and his minions are not releasing the photo’s for political reason....

I was just starting to really like this guy but now that one little statement just killed it for me. No guts just like a lot of the others. I'm telling you men, Sarah and Michele are the only two out there with balls. Sarah more than Michele but I like them both.

What part of ‘We the People’ doesn’t Hain get? What part of a govt by the people for the people is repulsive to him? Sounds like an elitists attitude.

Barry is more afraid of offending/inciting his muzzie brothers than ‘We the People’ and Hain stands by that?

2Q (Q2?)Freep-A-thon thread:

To: GoCards; Syncro; Sheila Robinson; All

This was at the Tea Party Express rally in Reno, NV last week (Go Sharron Angle!). The lady in the cowboy hat with the sweet smile is my wife Sheila. And that’s Syncro’s left eyeball in the upper left as he focuses his video camera.

Sarah was introduced to me by Sal Russo (leader of the Tea Party Express) who introduced me as Jim Robinson from freerepublic.com. She said thank you for all you guys have done, then leaned forward and gave me a little cheek to cheek hug. I took it as she loves the FReepers and pass it on to all of you!!

Woo hoo!! FR is Palin Country!!

With no proof of death forthcoming, uncertainty is now the order of the day. No one on either side appears to know the reality of the situation. Those who need to know... do. Those who must know to survive are just guessing, in a panic mode.

I would not be surprised if CIA and POTUS are as much in the dark as everyone else. Would also not be surprised to learn we “removed” a few ISI guards in the op. They sure as heck wont say, and neither will we.

This is as it should be. We are observing movement at this point, kind of like looking for flushed grouse or rabbit in a field.

Hannity repeated a point made by Oliver North - those photos could be used as evidence in an international war crimes trial against the SEAL team.

I do not know exactly what his reasoning is - and I think Hannity will question him on it tonight after the debate. He did say the “distraction” argument, which I think he is wrong on.

And it’s Cain, not Hain.

Ollie is all wet on this one too. WHO THE HELL is going to hold our Seals for a war crime trial?

I would suggest going to Herman Cain’s facebook page and posting your opinion. He does read this page.

In the past couple of days, there has been a whole passel of pusillanimous, Republi-Tards, praising Dear Leader for all types of policies and agenda.

My kingdom (such as it is, lol) for ONE [MALE] R who has a pair and is not a feckless, wuss...!!
