GOP should have just came out and said great call on the bin Laden operation Mr. President

And then they should have shut their freaking mouths. But they didn't. They just couldn't help themselves.

The more the GOP whined about it the more press coverage it got. And the more coverage it got the worse they looked and the better President Obama looked.

That was a classic screw up of biblical proportions by the GOP.

I would say there is a chance President Obama could go ahead in the polls right now and never get behind again after this fiasco.

That telling the country their president is one tough hombre who kills terrorists was gonna scare them away from Obama?

Every time it is mentioned the r's remind us that Bush didn't get the job done.

Hey, ya think Obama is pulling their chain? That he really knows how to get under their skin and does so at will?

GOPers simple cant give our President any credit no matter what he does. They must a have a genetic defect that forbids it.

You're right, these dumb shits can't contain their hatred.

They know they've lost.

This is an excellent day for the President. Sucks to be them.

Because they are sore losers? Shameless opportunists? All of what they have done to us in more than just the Bush era, is all going to come out, sooner or later.

Anything resembling a progressive (Democratic) foreign policy being effective is poison to them.


If you think this is bad wait for the 1 year anniversary of removing Muammar Gaddafi from Libya. October 20th is going to be a very good news cycle for us and it is very very close to election time.

They were trying to rile up their base. Hey look, that uppity black president really thinks he`s something now doesn`t he? Show up in force this November (since we can`t lynch him) and we`ll show him otherwise!
