To be clear, labeling this as an "Obama accomplishment" seems a little much. Any President occupying the WH would have ordered the same action hopefully. You make it sound like Barry suited up in black fatigues and single handedly repelled down and with knife in teeth, snuck up and shot himself.

Let's give credit where credit is due, and I am glad that Obama gave the order to kill OBL, but the real credit goes to the Seal teams that got the job done.

I agree with you, but people who said the same thing of Bush after 9/11 were criticized as being anti-American. Just saying. Honestly, I don't care who deserves credit, I'm just glad that some can get some peace and closure from this.
 
Put your sig's as:

Saddam Hussein ✓ Osama Bin Laden✓ Justin Bieber☐

Yeah, me too Doc.

The real risk that Obama did take is that if this mission were a disaster, he would have been blamed for that as well. I remember the failed mission from Carter with the hostages. But, Obama did the right thing here, and as harsh a critic of him as I am, he gets my congrats for ordering, and making sure this mission had what it needed to succeed. I say good job.

Now on to the budget.

j-mac has a point. Obama deserve credit for taking the opportunity to take OBL out, nothing more. In the grand scheme of things, this was sweet vengeance but it pales in comparison with the other real problems facing our country now.

It does pale in comparison. However, I sincerely hope this will be a morale booster of sorts so people can look across party lines and work together to get our economic problems in order.

if it were a repub in the whitehouse, you would be tripping over yourself to give him credit.

Not at all. Obama is our President, that means everyones President, unlike the partisan BS that normally takes place, You'll notice that I did give him credit, and a congrats for being a part of this success. Even though you won't admit that part.

Nonsense. I didn't do that.

Are you really trying to say that I said this? You disingenuous little $^$%^$#! If you were even remotely truthful you'd make clear that I offered my congratulations instead of lying about what others say.

Yuppers! Face the fact GOP...... a DEMOCRAT brought down Bin Laden. Sure Obama didnt go out and shoot him but he reached out and made the call. Obama deserves at least SOME credit. Give it to him. If not..... I shall provide verbal grief for all conservatives for the next 48 hours. :)

I'd be interested in the opinion poll jumps for Obama....and then the results when it comes to specific issues.

I'd like to think that I'd give the same congrats that I gave Obama for the same actions, but to say that I would have acted differently in speculation based solely on emotion, yours that is, is well, just plain dumb....sorry.

polls jumped like a mofo in the weeks after 9/11. I assume they will also do so here, but for the numbers to hold the Administration needs to get a hold on the economy.

Well, I was thinking a 10-15 point boost, at least momentarily. Then if polling were to take place on specific issues, I would expect to see a large degree of prior consistency: sketchy views about Afghanistan and Iraq wars, low opinion of the economic handling, etc etc.
 
One of my daughters professors swears he has documented proof that Bin Laden was found dead in 2002, frozen, and held by the CIA.

Needless to say, as today was her last day of class, my daughter told her professor exactly what she thought of his comments.

I hope you are not paying for that class.
 
Americans cheer at the death of Osama Bin Laden






I'm with the people in the video glad this man is dead.
 
I think the fact that I (and other conservatives) have lauded Obama for his roll in this military action would speak in direct opposition to the idea that we're all trying to steal his sunshine. All I've been saying (won't speak for anybody else) is that Obama wasn't the only CIC who had a hand in this. Clinton played his part and so did Bush II.
