Even after Bin Laden's Death, Obama Gets No Credit

Barack Obama is quickly becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of Commanders in Chief. It seems no matter what happens on this man's shift, Obama will NEVER get credit from some - for anything.

Blame is in no shortage when it comes to an economy that he inherited. In case you didn't know, Obama was leading the country when the economy collapsed, when housing prices tanked, when bailouts were "all the rage" and when wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were launched. Those things are all his fault.

But now, when something positive happens - the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden, the fingers are pointing towards George W. Bush? Are you shitting me? G-Dub? The man who started wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, built Guantanamo Bay and oversaw the demolition of US housing - is now getting credit for something he couldn't do during 6 years in the White House - capture Bin Laden.

General Stanley McChrystal praised the "decision makers" for having great courage. "Think of what would have happened if the mission had not been successful, and all of the second-guessing that would have happened," McChrystal told a meeting of the American Iron and Steel Institute in Colorado Springs.
"This mission sends a message about our will to stand up for what is right."
Read the rest of MacChrystal's comments The Huffington Post.


Eight years after "Mission Accomplished" signs adorned a Naval carrier behind Bush, Obama is the guy who's troops took out the mastermind of 9/11. By not giving credit to the Commander in Chief, you're putting yourself in a bucket with Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and the "Birthers."

Whether Democrat, Republican, Independent, Tea Party, Libertarian or other - we are all Americans today and should be proud that what took almost 10 years to accomplish - is now done. Osama Bin Laden is dead. Stop crediting Bush and give Obama credit on this one. After all, the Mission is now accomplished.

Is this the final picture of Osama Bin Laden? Apparently Not.


UPDATE: It appears that as wonderful as social media is at connecting the world, no matter our locations, it also represents an easy way to spread misinformation. In this case ... the picture of Bin Laden's bloodied face appears not to be genuine ...

As we near the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the dead can finally rest in peace!

"We do not have time for this kind of silliness"

Will the "Birthers" now ... for lack of a better phrase ... SHUT THE FUCK UP!

With issues of much more import hanging in the balance, the President of the United States of America had to schedule a news conference to release his actual Birth Certificate of Hawaii. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the economy sucking-ass, gas prices almost the same as minimum wage -- and he's at the podium talking about Donald Trump & The Birthers ...

"We're not going to be able to do it if we just make stuff up and pretend that facts are not facts. We're not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers. 
We live in a serious time right now and we have the potential to deal with the issues that we confront in a way that will make our kids and our grandkids and our great grandkids proud. And I have every confidence that America in the 21st century is going to be able to come out on top just like we always have. But we're going to have to get serious do do it.
I know that there's going to be a segment of people for which, no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest. But I'm speaking to the vast majority of the American people, as well as to the press. We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We've got better stuff to do. I've got better stuff to do. We've got big problems to solve. And I'm confident we can solve them, but we're going to have to focus on them - not this."

It's over, Birthers, now get back to reality, where the rest of us have been waiting for your return.

But wait ... Donald Trump is now taking credit for the release.

"I'm proud of myself, because I've accomplished something no one else was able to do," Trump said humbly.

What a hairbag! He's just pissed that Obama stole the one bullet he had in his gun - now what's Trump going to campaign on? Bankruptcy? Divorce? Bad head? Bye-bye, Donald.
