Why Jeb and other Repubs keep saying "he kept us safe"? [View all]
Does anyone actually believe that if Barack Obama had been President on September 11th, 2001 that he would not have been blamed for the attack by the Republicans? I seriously doubt that.
The reason Jeb and others keep saying that is that they now think it is safe to say it. The Democratic Party did unite behind the Republicans to fight the terrorists and chose not to make a political issue of the attack on 9/11.
But there is a huge difference in the two Parties in this regard. Republicans would not have been so generous. Look at their present attacks and investigations with Ben Ghazi as evidence of their intentions.
There is no rational or logical way anyone can say that George W Bush kept us "safe" on September 11th, 2001. Just because Democrats did not choose to make political hay out of it does not change that reality.
In the same breath, Republicans will tell you that Bill Clinton had a chance to "capture" Bin Laden and chose to let him escape. It is important that Republicans not be permitted to promote this idea that George W Bush "kept us safe", even as they say, "Don't you remember him standing in the rubble"?
