Because he knew he had little chance of getting reelected otherwise, so a failure would cost him little.
Obama should be thanking President Bushm because if Obama had done things his way, OBL would still be hiding in a cave. (I know he was in a stupid house but the point is still valid)
If Obama and his handlers think that this is going to float him through to re-election, they've got another think coming. Over the next 18 months, the American people are going to suffer through one of the worst economic downturns in living memory, which is a guaranteed deal-breaker for re-election.
And, all of the things that gave birth to the Tea Parties aren't going to disappear before election day, and Obama isn't going to do a damn thing to correct them. He'll get a short-term bounce out of this, and nothing more.
To some extent, I disagree somewhat.
Sarah Palin said: “We thank our president, we thank President Bush.”
My take is that Mrs. Palin (far smarter and more subtle than the lamestream media will ever realize) chose her words very carefully. She said "we thank our president" without mentioning the idiot Obama by name. I think she was rightfully expressing justified appreciation for the office as opposed to the current _resident illegally occupying that position.
In contrast, she adroitly did cite President Bush by name. As I see it, the implication is that the Bush administration is responsible for the planning and implementation of the operation carried out so supremely successfully by our brave men in the American military and intelligence circles. There's no doubt that Obama has been erecting roadblocks every step of the way to hinder the effectiveness of the Bush Doctrine, which has once again been vindicated (to the consternation of leftists).
As always, Sarah Palin strikes precisely the right tone not only by what she says but also by what she doesn't say. Her omission of the name of Obama was yet another brilliant stroke by a very skillful woman with outstanding rhetorical and leadership acumen.
Exactly!
