Remember when Obama bungled the Katrina-response and GWB killed Bin Laden?

http://mediamatters.org/video/2016/07/28/fox-news-host-bush-administration-got-bin-laden-not-obama/211998

BOLLING: And if you point to Bin Laden, that wasn't Obama's administration that got Bin Laden.

WILLIAMS: It wasn't?

BOLLING: That was the Bush administration that set up the kill shot, and Obama took the kill shot.

WILLIAMS: Up to then, I was listening to you. But goodness gracious, you went overboard.




And from the comment-section:

In 2013, 33% of Louisiana Republicans blamed Obama for the response to Katrina.

And these people have as much of a vote as you.

During the election turned SCOTUS selection of 2000, Bill Clinton, still president, had 24/7 watch on OBL Osama bin Laden with missiles ready to launch from a waiting ship in order to kill OBL. GW Bush joked about it while campaigning. And, once selected, dropped the idea of killing that Saudi born OBL fella along with dropping Clinton's daily briefings on terrorism.

Then came 9/11/2001.
