7. Where were DU Progressives and Huffington when Bush II, Cheney and Rudy.

were using 9/11 as justification for every one of their actions and in their campaigns. Where was, or better still, IS the fucking outrage of some DU rags that do nothing but pan Obama is every post? The fact is, Obama made a ballsy decision that could have cost him any chance at re-election had it went wrong, flip-flooper Romney could not and would not have put himself on that type of limb. The test of character is whether a person makes a firm decision when the outcome is unknown and can hurt them. Obama makes tough decisions like finding bin laden, saving the US auto industry and it's numerous suppliers, fighting for healt care reform that no single President before him could get, ending dicrimination against patriotic gays that want to serve their country in the military. Romney doesn't have either the vision, or the guts to make any of those decisions from the vantagepoint that Obama made them.
