President Obama taunts GOP foes, says ask Osama Bin Laden about his appeasing terrorists and tyrants

Obama crows about killing Bin Laden an 22 Al Qaeda leaders

A fed-up President Obama fired back at GOP presidential hopefuls who claimed he runs a soft foreign policy - by pointing to the notches on his belt as proof of his toughness.

"Ask Osama bin Laden and the 22 out of 30 top Al-Qaeda leaders who have been taken off the field whether I engage in appeasement," dared Obama during an unscheduled White House news conference Thursday.

Several GOP White House hopefuls - including current favorites Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney - attacked the President’s record the previous day during a Republican Jewish Coalition conference in Washington.

Obama used the May slaying of the terrorist mastermind - and the killings of nearly two dozen of his lieutenants - as a rebuttal to the GOP’s questioning of his track record as commander in chief.

Hussein handed our most secret techonology to Iran yesterday!

He should STFU about the WOT.

Here’s Obama “spiking the ball” for mere political purposes.

And yet Obama said he would not show us Bin Laden’s body,

because

that would be “spiking the ball.”

” - - - He likes to pretend he’s a gangsta street thug punk, but he’s never been in a fight in his life. A pampered wuss; perfumed prince. Arrogant beyond measure. Narcissistic without reason.”

Well, if what you say is true, then your statements are consistent with a typical description of a former Community Organizer.

The problem that I have is that You Lie Obama has recently wrapped himself with Teddy Roosevelt’s “Square Deal,” Progressive, New Nationalism, Red White and Blue Banners.

So to resolve this serious perception-may-not-be-reality conflict, please comment on whether or not You Lie Obama could have made the cut to be in TR’s Rough Riders that charged up San Juan Hill.

(Assuming that mind-boggling time-travel would allow it.)

We saw the Sadam photos, we saw the Khadafi photos. We see people getting their heads blown off in the 8:00 hour on TV... but we can’t see proof that the most wanted terrorist is dead. And why did he rate a burial at sea? Why all the secrecy? A man on dialysis for years, yet no equipment found at the compound. Oops. They forgot that little item.

Obama intentionally releases more military secrets and technology to our enemies ...

I know Obama had to work hard shaking his head "yes" when the special forces asked if they could complete the mission given them by President Bush. He deserves a lot of credit for shaking his head "yes."

Other than that, he hasn't done anything worthy of praise.

The media hasn't noticed.

I would be willing to bet they have noticed and are working hard to keep the information out of the hands of the American people. After all, ZerO is their guy.

He should ask the Iranian people how ‘tough’ he is with tyrants and terrorists.

So if Ahmadenijad should happen to develop a bomb while he dithers and tries to use sanctions once more (September 2009 deadline long past), and blows up a major US, European or Israeli city, and then goes underground, we should feel comforted that he will not stop an elite unit who discovers his whereabouts from letting him have it. But what if he does not go underground?

His policy is what?

Well TR would have bitch-slapped Bambi like Patton whacked the shell shocked trooper. Bambi is the least capable or accomplished person to ever grace the halls of the White House, while being the most celebrated (Nobel Prize, “President” (? - not “Editor” which requires some merit) of the Harvard Law Review, Columbia BA, Harvard summa cum, etc.), without a shred of anything to show for any of it. Except our country and Constitution in shreds.

They dragged his ass in off the golf course,
he clearly, from the video & pictures, didn’t want to be there watching something
he didn’t approve of and would have had it stopped if he could.

The military took initiative without his approval or knowledge, knowing they’d get told “no”.

As far as taking out ‘22 out of 30’ terrorist leaders, let’s face it: If you drop enough bombs on enough people in the Afgan hills, you are bound to take out at least one terrorist per explosion.

Along with a fairly large number of civilians, by the way, something I haven’t heard Zero brag about.

I’m sure if I look far enough back there will an irate Sen Obama calling President Bush horrible names because a civilian may have been hit under his watch.

If we can find it, all the potential candidates as well as Boehner and the RNC need to be reminded. Zero is going to make the claim he was responsible for getting rid of terrorists, all the way thru the campaign and a response must be prepared.

Oh, and the other reason those terrorists were taken out was because Zero continued to follow President Bush’s game plan for the War on Terror.

Zero couldn’t win a game of checkers if he played himnself.
