Are you kidding me? Seriously, are you kidding me? Actual, legitimate media pundits and political professionals are really asking if President Obama should tout the killing of Osama bin Laden during his re-election campaign? Really... seriously???
I honestly don't know where to start. These are some of the same people who sat around jack-legged while George W. Bush flew a fighter jet onto an air craft carrier with a jumbo red, white and blue banner noting "Mission Accomplished" (9 years ago mind you) after single-handedly dismantling the Middle East with a "go-it-alone" war in Iraq.
These are some of the same people who sat around tongue-tied while Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their band of merry men walked our country straight into a bloody war where thousands of our troops were killed and trillions of dollars lost looking for weapons that didn't exist.
These are some of the same people who happily reported on each and every instance of Bush and Cheney (and let's not forget dear Rudy G.) citing September 11 in campaign ad after campaign ad and I don't remember hearing a ringing media chorus of "is this appropriate?" (What's even more disheartening is that Bush's people are STILL claiming that Bush kept the country safe and very few ever correct them on the little fact that 9/11 did happen on their watch in 2001, ergo, they DID NOT keep the country safe!)
