Dead because Bush implemented the search and kill orders.
Alive because you sucked the taxpayers, disdaining the creative destruction inherent in capitalism—you and Obama suck, Joe.
Bin Laden is dead because of the policies that Bush implemented, and that Obama opposed.
General Motors Alive
General Motors would have survived under a normal Chapter 11. All Obama did was screw the bondholders to pay off the UAW.
LOL! THAT IS AWESOME!
FORD is alive. GM is on life-support.
