Obama to Visit CIA Headquarters
Wall Street Journal ^ | May 18, 2011 | Carol E. Lee

President Barack Obama will continue to tout the U.S. mission that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden with a visit Friday to Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, Va.

Mr. Obama will meet with intelligence officials to thank them for their efforts, “specifically for their excellent work in tracking down Osama bin Laden,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday.

Mr. Carney said the president decided shortly after Mr. bin Laden’s death that he wanted to meet with intelligence officials at CIA headquarters.

“I actually happened to be in his presence when he said he wanted to do this, which was a while back in the wake of the successful bin Laden mission,” Mr. Carney told reporters traveling with the president. “So this was a presidential decision that he wanted to make this trip.”

No doubt the AnointedIdiot will come packing his “under the bus” knife like he did the last time he visited the CIA? =.=

Staff writers Traitors Craig Whitlock and Greg Jaffe and staff researcher Julie Tate contributed to this report, aiding and abetting the enemy.

Our enemies are surely reading the traitors' reports with avidity.

“I wanted to personally thank all you CIA folks for killing Bin Laden to help my re-election campaign. Now allow me to introduce Attorney General Holder, who’ll be placing y’all under arrest for torturing those guys.”

Any chance we can get his wisked off on a rendition mission and have him water boarded to give up who provided the false birth certificates.

The media’s rosy participation in this, compared to what they did with every connection anyone kindly attempted between GWBush and the victims at Ground Zero is nite and day.

GWBush was President on September 1, 2001; but any action by the President or anyone else to place GWBush in the same visual or mental frame as the suffering victims at Ground Zero was not only verboten but always produced a media firestorm.

Obama goes to CIA Headquarters for one reason - to keep the death of Osama Bin Laden alive on a slow news day, on a news day when Obama has no good news to report; and the media warmly prostrates itself to him.

Disgusting.

“specifically for their excellent work in tracking down Osama bin Laden,” ...

Then he will immediately have them arrested and tried.

Glad you pointed that out.

“I actually happened to be in his presence when he said he wanted to do this, which was a while back ....”

Carney completely failed at making this B/S sound legit.

They can’t, and refuse, to tell the truth about ANYTHING.

They don't dare push the "Birth Certicficate" too hard, the MSM has to carry that water for him.

So, this is the only reelection cow they have, and they're going to milk the teats right off it.
