    That's right! Obama takes responsibility for his actions and the buck stops with him. Too bad W never took responsibility for anything.

    Hey texxx, Mr Obama is still going to be re-elected!

    I'm wondering how he gave unnecessary attention to SEAL Team 6. Last I checked he didn't direct Act of Valor, which has probably done more to generate attention to the SEALS than any general public commendations he has offered.

    It's all faux outrage, especially given the new manufacturing news and the recent market run-up.

    Let's try to conjure some sort of meme mountain from a molehill and get all our various interwebz troll minions to cary the latest pathetic gambit into digital battle. Especially in keeping with turd blossom's old playbook of attacking perceived strengths (e.g. getting bin laden.)

    It is teh sad, but so too it is teh predictable and repetitive.

    The sad part is, it's a viable strategy. I'm picturing the debate now.

    Obama: My adminstration's foreign policy includes killing Osama Bin Laden...

    Romney: Stop politicizing it. You're soft on terror, and everyone knows it. I'm from Michigan! A blue collar state!

    Wolf: Mr. Romney...

    (the audience is roaring with applause, Wolf can't get his question off)

    Romney: We're taking back Washington from the insiders!!!! Freedom!!!! Low Taxes

    (audience is roaring, Obama is shaking his head. Ron Paul tries to interject, but no one listens)

    Obama: My administration DID pull out of Iraq.

    Romney: Stop trying to distract people about the issue I brought up, everyone knows the economy's bad. Maybe on Pennsylvania Ave, you're living well eating caviar and dog...

    (a few people snicker, Obama tries to speak)

    Romney: But here on Main Street, we know that we're out of work. And we know the government's too blame!!!! NO MORE TAXES!!! NO MORE REGULATION!!!

    Paul: Silver standard!!!

    (the audience continues to roar)

    Wolf: Mr. Romney... Mr. Romney...

    OBL has everything to do with 911. Do you agree? Yes or No?

    Well worth repeating. I'm still thrilled that I got to vote against Dutch twice. Having said that, Reagan would be too moderate for today's Republcan Party.

    Enjoyed the video Basso. My neighbor is a low ranked officer in the Navy, and he said Obama had nothing to do with the mission. Seal team 6 is almost autonomous. Not sure how much truth there is to that but still glad OBL is gone.

    This election is such a joke to me. Can't wait until 2016 when the Republicans can nominate a real candidate.

    maybe I'm too removed from the obama hate, but for me, the message that stuck from the video was the oft repeated line "I said I would, and I did."

    I'd tuned out the rest as distorted rhetoric:confused:

    Can you imagine the right wing freakout if they found out Obama had a chance at Osama and didn't take it?

    Obama is the ****ing commander in chief. He is the head of the entire military, whether you support his politics or not.

    If this is what the Republicans are going to run on, they're already giving up.

    He "likely" speaks for many? It wouldn't have anything to do with this SEAL being a Republican?
