"I think the Royal Wedding had alot to do with holding back or the b/c."

This may be the reason for the sudden change in honeymoon plans.

“This morning, at my direction...” Of course, Obama’s going to take credit. Oh, but it’s not about Islam. Oh, no! Ughh!

Jeez.

Is everything ALWAYS about him? Can he not just celebrate the victory for Americans everywhere?

He is such a $hit.

That’s what I was thinking. Me, too. I usually don’t listen to him for more than a minute.

the words “President Bush” will not be uttered tonight, you can take that to the bank.

Ground action, no US causalties = excellent outcome.

I sense the presence of Clark and Chavez ;-) But this empty suit is no Jack Ryan.

Obama just said they got him today, but the reporter just said they killed him last week and used DNA to I’d the body. ????

Obama is taking complete credit for it. He is finally apologizing to the families of 9/11. He’s on a roll about himself. Did not forget to include community in his speech.

I can hear Obama’s voice on the televison in the other room. I am astounded at the number of times he is saying “I”. . .and taking so much credit. He makes me sick. He should have started off praising the military men and women from the United States of America.

“I did it, Me, I, the one...

You're right. In his speech, Obama says "At my direction,...". Taking credit, even though he was probably at a fund-raiser when someone informed him of the action and the results, and he probably said "who, what, whatever?". He's an idiot.
