caddyman Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 You’re right. This current batch of candidates is not very promising. To use a baseball analogy I think the GOPs best prospects (Christie & Rubio) are still in the minors and won’t be ready to come up to the Bigs till 2016. Rubio is every bit as ready as Obama was. I don't understand why he has to wait. I do understand why he wants no part of a VP on the possible 2012 tickets. Who wants to be part of an ass whooping with the current filed of weak candidates.

rattsass Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 This was not a slam dunk decision. It was based on good intelligence but much of it was cirumstantial evidence. If this operation would have failed would you also not blame him and write it off as any president would have failed in this sitution. Didn't think so. I'm pleasently surprised when any of our presidents don't f' up. I hated Bush and now I hate Obama. I'm an equal opportunity hater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Read this quote on someone's FB status. Cool in a "cufking A" sort of way. "You can run from the SEALs, but you'll just die tired." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borge007 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Quite easily if ask me. As long as the GOP puts up a halfway respectable candidate, which admittedly, to date, it has not done. Shirley-you jest. I know-don't call me Shirley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borge007 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Obama watched it happen, he didn't gather the intel, plan the mission, or execute the mission. He did what any sitting president would have done with the opportunity to get Bin Laden. Now, having given his speech a re-listen, you might think he was responsible for all of it, which is exactly the desired perception. But lets get real. Bin Laden was just a figure head. Seems unlikely he had anything to do with day to day operations in the terror business. The world is only a tiny bit safer than it was Saturday. Our economy is in shambles. Oil is going up and it won't be coming down, and 3 years into his presidency we have no energy policy except sending all the off-shore drilling away. But the answer is nobody will beat Obama in the election because as stated, the Reps have nobody. We will be stuck with Obama for 8 years and the America we remember will be unrecognizable if he has his way. Thank you for sharing your marvelous insight(as always).

millerx Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Can we keep this ONE topic about the actual events that took place with respect the Chum Laden being dead. If you want to get into a pissing match about the consequences between political parties, or Obama vs whoever, start another topic titled as such... Then you can go there and have a field day discussing amongst yourselves. Just a request, I would rather not have to sift through all the BS political talk to read the posts that actually apply to this topic. Thanks.

Savage Beatings Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Someone like McCain? Who is going to look better than a war hero who has been in Congress forever? Nope. That is exactly the kind of candidate that I can't stand and that cannot win. No McCain. No Romney. No Huckabee. No Palin. No Trump. Gimme someone like Christie or Ryan, and they will wipe the floor with Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More facts and fictions are coming out still, all I was asking for was a different thread. Not to mention the possibility of eventually having this thread gunned because of some stupid comment being made or having to go through 13 pages of it. why not start a new one and see who shows up... the usual suspects I would think. If you want I will open the new topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a serious issue with members of the Dubbya administration taking credit of any kind for this. Make that double for Fox News for also giving them the platform to take credit for this.

MikesVikes Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Picture of the president and the national security team watching the operation as it happened. That is a great picture that will surely make its rounds. But how do we know they aren't doing something more constructive like picking who should get fired on Celebrity Apprentice?
