<snip>
Sen. John McCain took aim Monday at President Barack Obama's decision to tout the one-year anniversary of Usama bin Laden's death at the hands of US Navy SEALs, saying, "heroes don't brag."

McCain (R-Ariz.), who lost to Obama in the 2008 presidential election, last week accused the president of "doing a shameless end-zone dance to help himself get re-elected," with comments he made in advance of the May 2 anniversary of the former al Qaeda leader being shot dead in his Pakistan compound.

Speaking to Bill O'Reilly on FOX News Monday night, McCain said, "I say any president, Jimmy Carter, anybody, any president would have, obviously, under those circumstances, done the same thing.

After the GOP primary season I think it has the possibillity of turning off anyone other than their base.

5. even if it were true (which it isn't) politicians always take credit for the sun rising in the east.

politicians have ALWAYS taken credit for any good news that happens on their watch, whether or not they had anything to do with it. some republicans (such as shrub) even go so far as taking credit for good laws that passed over their opposition.

7. Except that "any" President did not do what the current one rightly claims credit for doing.

In fact, one had nearly 8 years to do it, and he failed miserably. Now, go crawl back under your rock, loser.

is that sort of like "generic Republican?"

So, the Pubs now like Jimmy Carter enough to admit that he would've iced Bin Laden too? Cool.

President Obama did a great job and the rethugs don't like it, so what. McCain needs to shut up, nobody cares what he has to say about anything. The President did the right thing. He had the right team in the right place at the right time and he got Osama. As for me, Thanks Mr. President for a job well done and keep up the good work.

gramps said during the 2008 debates that it was naive of Obama to say he would go into sovereign Pakistan for bin-baby. McCain is a pussy.

We all know damn well that the Bush camp would have never let up about it if the shoe was on the other foot. Of course they forgot the entire election of 2004. Bush hadn't even done anything and was still bragging about his accomplishments.
