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.

Remember when the media said that Bush taking credit for killing terrorists would mean he was a BLOOD-THIRSTY BUTHCHER?

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.

Hey Barry! Show us the evidence that Bin Laden is dead! Oh, wait. You can’t. There are no released photos! There is no body! There are no countries who were allowed to witness or examine the body for confirmation. So, Barry! All we have is the word of a lying sack of sh!t currently occupying the WH.

I happened to see this press conference and the real Obama came out—he’s a thin-skinned A-hole.He has clearly appeased Iran and blew a golden opportunity to support the protesters and take the country down from within. I’m sure he blocked the military mission to have a B-2 or a cruise missile take out the RQ-170 drone in Iran, that is about to be reverse-engineered by the Chi-Coms.

and now take a second to think about all the crazies that will be after you and your family for the rest of your/their lives. I think that’s why Bush never removed some of these terrorists

Like Obama actually had any choice in the matter, if he would have refused to approve the Bin Laden mission, it WOULD have been leaked by some patriot in the intelligence community or military and odds are impeachment hearings would be taking place right now.

Ask OBL why it took Obama 16 hours to make up his mind as to whether or not to go after him. I’m guessing the silence from the White House after that question will be deafening.

If it had been left to him after 9/11 we would have never enacted the measures that Bush did that led ultimately to finding Bin Laden. Obama deserves essentially no credit for this. What a jerk.

The only reason Obambi was at the briefing was to deflect coverage from the Holder testimony about Gunrunner.

...Dumbo is acting like the narcissistic dolt caught up in his own lies and actions, paranoia, best get out of town Dumbo...
.......17 days recovering from bull**** story telling needed badly....
Holder is making a fool of himself and his deputy just committed perjury in a Congressional Hearing.

You are referring to the fact that under Obama the number of our killed in Afghanistan has more than doubled from the total of the previous 8 years.

The media hasn't noticed.

Everybody knows Obozo had to be dragged away from the golf course kicking and screaming to give the go-ahead (that he had dilly-dallied on for months on end) by Leon Panetta, of all people, and others...

Yes, let’s ask Bin Laden. Where’s his body, anyway?

OBL was “low hanging fruit” which the Obama HAD to take, lest the backlash from not taking be overwhelming. Methinks there’s a core in the military which knows what it’s gonna do regardless of the CiC, so stopping them would be worse than letting them take OBL.

OK, so BHO got OBL (viable debate aside). Now how about handing Libya & Egypt to AQ & Co.?

One step forward means little in the context of a hundred back.
