Yep!
Has anyone seen in the media the number of military deaths being reported since Obozo took office? I have not. I visit a website that provides the number of coalition and U.S. military deaths month by month since 2001 for both Afghanistan and Iraq. When G.W.B. was President the death count was scrolling across the bottom of all of the news outlets on T.V. Today? Crickets!!!
Why is he taking credit for killing someone who was already dead.
The US military did the work and he acts like he was in the helicopter landing on Osamas roof.

* President ‘slept on it’ as tense military chiefs awaited decision
* Action started the next morning when Obama declared ‘it’s a go’
* Mission delayed by one day after heavy cloud cover on Saturday night
* Navy seals dodged Pakistani security to reach Bin Laden’s lair
* Outpouring of emotion on streets down to ‘the same sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11’ Obama told members of Congress
Barack Obama kept military commanders hanging by declaring he would ‘sleep on it’ before taking 16 hours to give the go-ahead to raid Bin Laden’s compound.
Hit squads of specialist Navy Seals - who were not even told who they were preparing to capture - had practised the mission at two reconstructions of the terror chiefs sprawling compound.
The mission looked set to be given the all clear last Thursday when analysts confirmed beyond doubt that Bin Laden was in busy town of Abbottabad in northern Pakistan.
But the president stunned officials when he told a national security meeting that he wanted more time to think - and disappeared out of the room.
‘I’m not going to tell you what my decision is now - I’m going to go back and think about it some more,’ said Obama, according to the New York Times. He then added ‘I’m going to make a decision soon.’
The head of the CIA and other senior intelligence officers who were keen to proceed were left tense as they waited for the president’s decision.
But the next morning after 16 hours, Obama summoned four top aides to the White House Diplomatic Room. Before they could speak, the president put his fist on the table and declared ‘It’s a go’.
With those three words, the greatest military operation in recent history began. Had it not been for heavy cloud cover on Saturday, troops would have been deployed then.
But they waited another day, and reached Pakistan just before midnight on Sunday evening. Obama refused to tell Pakistan about the mission in case it was leaked by jihadist sympathisers within the administration and Bin Laden took flight.
Luckily, the four U.S. helicopters were not detected by Pakistan’s military who would have been quick to take action against the uninvited aircrafts.
After a 40-minute raid, the details of which are still emerging, Bin Laden was declared dead having received a bullet to the brain.
Millions of U.S. citizens still scarred by the atrocities of September 11 took to the streets to celebrate news that the world’s most wanted terrorists had been killed.
Obama received a rousing standing ovation from his own party and political rivals alike yesterday as American’s rejoiced in the defeat of Osama Bin Laden.
President Obama retold to members of Congress details of the skilled mission that claimed the head of the world’s most wanted terrorist.
And for a moment rising gas prices, high unemployment and future economic concerns were forgotten as his 2012 re-election campaign received a massive boost.
Upon hearing Bin Laden’s name, lawmakers of both parties interrupted the president with a standing ovation and whistles.
The moving applause came as scenes of celebration and reflection unfolded across the U.S. where citizens have longed for the Al Qaeda leader to be slain.
OR
arrghh, sorry all about the huge image sizes. I forgot to test their sizes.
You forgot to mention that Obama was a Lecturer on the “Destruction of the US Constitution” at the Chicago School of Bureaucratic Socialism. He is currently on academic leave from that distinguished institution.
Teddy Roosevelt and George Patton fought eyeball to eyeball. High Poo-Bah Obama uses snipers in the form of high-tech unmanned missiles and drones controlled from beyond the horizon of the battlefield.
BTW, do you know of ANYBODY who would follow Obama “into the gates of Hell?” Even his dog is smarter than that!
