To GOP 'appeasement' charge, Obama says: 'Ask Osama bin Laden'

President Obama had a quick, blunt response Thursday to Republican charges that he's engaged in a foreign policy of "appeasement."

"Ask Osama bin Laden," he told reporters at the White House on Thursday.

Appeasement was the word of the day Wednesday as six Republican presidential candidates spoke at a forum hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington.

It was most often used with regard to Iran, although some said it applied to Obama's broader foreign policy.

"The president, for every thug and hooligan, for every radical Islamist, has had nothing but appeasement," former Sen. Rick Santorum said.

Since the dear leader brought this up,
Osama got a funeral service with his religious book.

US Military heroes and their families are denied
a Bible by Obama, the undocumented impostor.

Obama is pleased with his response, no doubt. But a true reporter would ask if it was not the previous president's foreign and anti-terror policies, one's that Obama himself harshly criticised, that put him in the position of being able to get Bin Laden.

Hypocrite.

Nobody really believes the Kenyan actually had bin Laden offed on his watch.
Osama was most likely killed in Tora Bora and stored in a freezer until he could be thawed at an opportune time.
Obama needed a distraction and killing Osama was it.

“Ask Osama bin Laden,” he told reporters at the White House on Thursday.”

Childish, and stupid response, but then again look where it came from.

Ask OBL? Is he still alive? Obama never showed showed us osama which is why this was never the BIG story it might have been.

It would be nice if a conservative running on the R ticket would be upheld by the party rather than being destroyed.

We need to see the body. Obama made unseemly haste to hide it.

Obama had nothing to do with it- Mr. Tough Guy voted ‘present’ until Leon Panetta got the ball moving himself. Obama NEVER “gave the order” and would have blamed Panetta if it failed.

Wasn’t he out playing golf when osama was supposedly “killed”?

Bet the families of the Seal Team having done the deed and then coincidentally killed in the Chinook not long after aren’t impressed with this fag in the Red House.

“Ask Osama bin Laden,” he told reporters at the White House

He added, “Furthermore, I can lick anyone in any bathhouse. I can bite the heads of animal crackers and I can still beat my daughters arm wrestling, at least the younger one.”
I can play golf longer than anyone I’ve ever played with.”
This was never released to the public, but I accompanied the SEAL team to Pokeestahn and I strangled Usama bin laden to death with my bare hands.”
I can stand on my toes longer than my wife.”

Well enough about me. I could go on-and-on talking about myself. What do you think about me? Don’t be shy. Take as much time as you want. Have you seen me riding my bike in my `Mom’ pants? I’m the only guy in the world who could get away with that, don’t you think? Maybe Chuck Norris. Or Alfred Einstein.”
Go on, keep talkin’ about me. I’m all ears.”
You’re not talking fast enough about me. I can lift a Buick Skylark over my head and get it spinnin’ like a dinner plate. Sometimes, lately, I say things that aren’t scrolling in front of me. I have three different names. I climbed Mt. Everest all by myself. I can drop my `g’s. I, I, I, I “(the putative president is carted off)

People like Obama want credit for doing the bare minimum.

If he hadn’t gone after bin Laden and it had gotten out, he would have been impeached.
