Don W.-and what did Dubya do?Oh wait we don't want to talk about how big a failure Dubya was,because then we might think all Republicans are as worthless as Dubya.You Republicans think that the rest of America is as blind as you? If you want to pin your future on a worthless bum like Mitt Romney then you go right ahead.Dubya lied to his country and wasted billions searching for W.M.D. that were never there.That was all so you all could justify spending billions on a meaningless waste of blood and treasure to justify your military-industrial complexes demand for a bigger and bigger budget.Just like that idiot Ryan telling the C.B.O. that we needed to add billions back into the defense budget because they don't know what they need.How much Kick-back do you think they get in a year for stupid ideas like that,are you really that naive?Do you really believe that we can't afford to cut our defense budget and that the Pentagon doesn't know what they need?Don't you think the American taxpayer is being sold down the stream by these warhawks in Congress,I mean when I hear Sen.Graham and McCain and Leiberman talk about going to war I think that they are getting a kick-back.

If Bid Laden or any of the other Al Qaeda members killed during the Obama presidency had been taken out during the Bush administration, Cheney would have snuck out in the middle of the night and chiseled Bush's face on Mt Rushmore.

You right wing hypocrites are too much. You'de be throwing it in the liberal's faces had your side accomplished this. And, no Obama did not pull the trigger but he took a chance and gave the order. Grow up you big babies.

I am an independent, no sides, Obama wins this and he wins on GM. He had the balls to go after Bin Laden and did so when many others would have hesitated to be politically correct. Then he did it again to resuce the relief worker. It takes guts and leadership to make those calls knowing a failure could be devasting to your presidency and relection. He made them, he took the chance and he deserves credit fot that. The same for saving GM. No, Romney would not have, he said so and he meant it, he would not have saved GM, he said so and he meant it. Things I like about him, but his double facing on these issues when it is clear what he would have done diminishes the value of his assets. If he does not have the balls to stand behind what he said before does he have the balls needed to make the tough calls, I'm not sure. I am sure Obama does.

The GOP claims the President has no foreign policy. The decision to track and the order to kill Bin Laden were foreign policy, of course. The GOP, now caught in an obvious lie, tries to squirm away by saying the President is "divisive".

The President issued the kill order and used America's best troops--DESPITE absolutely-certain Republican criticism of him, and regardless of what he did.

If the risk-filled mission had failed? Republicans surely would have criticized him for being "ineffective, blundering, and not really understanding Americans." Actually, the President understood quite well what Americans wanted--Bin Laden dead. And made clear he would do it again. regardless of what the Republicans might concoct.

The Republicans think they've hit a home run with this twisted "polarization" argument--which everyone knows is really an attempt to distract from actual polarization the GOP set out to (and did) create between themselves and women, Hispanics, and African-Americans, for example. Like "class warfare" (with the rich as victims): outside the country club, maybe it's just another shot in the dark ending up in the rough.

To criticize Obama on Bin Laden?? Worst of all for the GOP--that's the best they've got. They continue to impress their base--and continue to fool no one.

I seriously doubt if the search for OBL ever stopped? The CIA was looking for him for years...Obama didn't start the process, but he did give the "ok" to shoot him and bury him at sea to the seals team 6. But as far as starting the search...no he didn't do that. If it hadn't been for pakistan we might have never found him only the CIA knows the entire story and we will never all the storied by the CIA.

Osama bin Laden had 3300 Americans killed in New York and PA. George Bush got 4400 Americans killed in Iraq. Barack Obama had one Osama bin Laden killed in Pakistan. Now Republicans are actually criticizing Obama. Go figure?

actually you no longer hear of the foreign policy argument much any more-obama and clinton have won this big time the wars will soon end thanks to americas delight the gop lost what gave gw bush a 2nd term there hop now is the economy and truthfully all i see differnt now is they still want the trickle down huge tax cuts for the rich but this time they are going to pay for it by killing our students by killing ther pell grants and raising there interest our seniors by basically ending there mediare medicaid by giving them some worthless voucher to buy into the privite insurance-like yeah they welcome supporting old people on kemo-breathing machines and worst they will have to pay thousands a month and there vouccher will be like a few hundread thats the gop plan like bushes plan on steroids!! will give them credit at least they plan on paying for the huge tax cuts something differnt from there side

You right-wing whackers don't even want to acknowledge the fact that President Obama knocked Khadafi out of power,he knocked Mubarack out of power and he had Bin Laden killed after your boy Dubya couldn't decide what he wanted to do.Mitt Romney is a waste of time he wasn't even a manager,he didn't hire people he fired people and down-sized companies.He ran a corporate chop shop,he bought companies stripped them of their assets and sold off the parts.In other words he was a hack.He would have never been in the business if his father hadn't left him an inheritance that was large enough to live off of while he went to colloege,his father was Governor of Michigan and got him a draft deferment so he wouldn't have to serve in the Viet Nam War and he acted like he was a missionary for the Mormon Church to coverup the fact that his father got him a deferment.He is a lying, two faced, manipulating,narcissistic Plutocrat who will destroy our country.

I'll bet rumney come out tomorrow and say he would have given the order to get bin laden, even after he said "he would not move heaven and Earth to get one man",(bin laden, the man that planned 9/11), rumney's words, not mines. But rumney is right about one thing, Carter would have given that order....thats because Carter was a better President than rumney could ever dream of being.

The liberals will have us think that Bush gave up the search for Binladen and our "Savior" Obama has decided to re-open the search and guess what? Thanks to his administration and his policies, we got him, with no mention that it was the policies and the interrogation techniques put in place by the Bush administration that has lead to the capture of BinLaden. Ofcourse there is no mention of the Bush's administration's role in this, would not expect any acknowledgement from a divisive President. I don't even care about Bush's role as much as the role played by the navy seals who put their lives on the line and are directly responsible for the capture of BinLaden. I wish he would at least acknowledge more their role in this instead of making this all about Obama and his capture. When is it never about Obama?

OBAMA: "So ... what happened?"

MILITARY: "We got Osama!

OBAMA: "Did you say that you got Obama?" OMG ... please, I have a family and my dog, BO?"

MILITARY: "No, you moron, we said we got Osama!"

OBAMA: "Oh, OK .. BTW ... who is Osama .... is he Romney's VP?"

MILITARY: "Seriously, someone send this freakin nitwit back to bed. Where do we find these complete jagoffs!!

Gosh, Repubs have it tough....those darn facts and videos keep getting in the way.

Don't you people believe that there is some kind of a deal between the wealthy and the Republican Party.I get the feeling that have a deal worked out where the wealthy are going to pay the Republicans like a Million Dollars each if they defeat President Obama,the Republicans will eliminate all labor laws,the minimum wage,all job safety rules,all medical coverage except just enough to keep us working,they'll do away with Social Security,in other words America will become a big social-industrial complex and the Republican will rule like in Nazi Germany and the wealthy will pay for what they want.America will become like a big FoxConn.

Insurance companies, drug companies -- they'll get a seat at the table, they just won't be able to buy every chair. But what we will do is, we'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies. And so, that approach, I think is what is going to allow people to stay involved in this process."

President Obama is smarter than the top 3 Republicans put together.

He is mentally tough.

He is practical and pragmatic.

He is immune to his radical base, while republican leaders are slaves to theirs.

The Repubs voted in Bush and all we got was war and bankrupt. The Dems voted in Obama and we defeated a major terrorist. Score card remains...false war in Iraq spending billions on a sandbox....destroyed a major terrorist. Obama wins.

Amy B is dead on, and the teabaggers would have us go back to those policies. Are the American people really that naive? Turning Government over to him and his ilk is just plain stupid, everybody knows big business has our best interest at heart right? All I can say is remember Ludlow, and hang Carl for treason.
