At a press conference with the prime minister of Japan this afternoon, President Obama said that Americans haven't excessively celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden, and suggested that Mitt Romney would not have made the decision to kill the terrorist mastermind.

Obama doubles down. It is not Clinton saying it, it is not a campaign ad, it is the President saying it while on official business.

Reprehensible.

It’s an efficient way to let the mainstream media know their talking points.

Sneering, condescending, patronizing moocher.
What happened to all the “civility and respect” Barry was preaching last year?

Strikes me as juvenile behavior.

Obamalamadingdong taking credit for OBL’s demise is like Nixon taking credit from JFK for the moon landing or a rooster taking credit for the sun coming up.

This liar can’t even quit campaigning while doing the nations business. Why not, he uses AF1 on our dime to travel to his fundraisers and campaign stops.

I detest this evil trash.

Hey, Hussein, the first rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club. And the second rule of Fight Club is...

BUSH killed bin laden.

Since obozo couldn’t make a decision, he let the BUSH procedures continue. THAT is what led to the end of bin laden.

And by now is documented fact that barry did not ORDER anything — he deferred to the military in the (correct) hopes that barry could get the credit if it worked and the military could join everyone else under the bus if it failed.

I still remember the picture of the staff sitting and watching it go down. Obama sat there in a corner looking small, like he was frightened to death.

For once, the Cretin-in-Chief might be right.

RINOmeny has about the same size cojones as did Clinton.

Don’t forget that the blowjobmeister also decided not to take out the Muslim butthole when he could have done so.

Gads, I wish we had a real male or female running for president.

Right now, we have one semi-male and one illegal alien female running.

UPDATE: The Romney campaign responds with this statement from press secretary Andrea Saul: “It’s unfortunate that President Obama would prefer to use what was a good day for all Americans as a cheap political ploy. President Obama’s feckless foreign policy has emboldened our adversaries, weakened our allies, and threatens to break faith with our military. While the Obama administration has naively stated that ‘the war on terror is over,’ Gov. Romney has always understood we need a comprehensive plan to deal with the myriad of threats America faces.”

Pretty strong stuff there from the Mormon Bishops camp.

Not

This from a coward from a a family of cowards who have avoided serving in the military for generations.

I mean even the Kenyan Obama probably has a brother in law who's dad served in Vietnam.

SLICK WILLARD is facing a con man that makes Joe Smith look like a piker.

If Bush hadn't implemented policies that Obama opposed and campaigned against, Obama wouldn't have killed Bin Laden either.

But then again, the two-face Obama would be caught off-guard:

I was surprised that I even found it to begin with.

Is this really the president of the United States defending me to the Japanese that we Americans haven’t celebrated too much?

Wait a sec. Barry, you’re celebrating. People are criticizing you for celebrating and now you’re defending us to the Japanese media.

Who’s “us”?

Each day this freaking little bastard reaches another abhorrent level of pathetic embarrassment.

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see this as a viable political ploy....

Just what is Obama trying to prove with this strategy...?

Romney is a chickenshit and Obama is a towering fearless military leader?

I think most people don’t realty care what Obama says about this and understand seal team six are the real heroes ....

Only the most mind numbed obamabot thinks Obama is the only guy brave or smart to catch OBL

“the blowjobmeister also decided not to take out the Muslim butthole when he could have done so.”

That was before 9/11. No doubt Clinton would’ve taken Bin Laden out. Even Jimmy Carter would’ve. It’s a no-brainer.

Sadly, the REAL HEROES, the Navy Seal Team 6 are the “forgotten factor”.
