Yeah, but that was before he personally swooped in and took out Osama bin Laden with his bare hands.
(CNSNews.com) – Speaking in Iowa in 2006, Sen. Barack Obama said, “I’ve had enough of using terrorism as a wedge issue in our politics.” He said the war on terrorism “isn’t supposed to crop up between September and November of even-numbered years.”
But as president, Obama and his reelection campaign have consistently raised the issue — repeatedly referring to a 2007 comment by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to suggest that Romney would not have ordered the killing of Osama bin Laden as Obama did one year ago.
On Sept. 17, 2006, Obama spoke at Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry in Indianola, Iowa.
“And let me tell you something else I’ve had enough of: I’ve had enough of using terrorism as a wedge issue in our politics,” Obama told the crowd. “I’ve had enough of that. I’ve had enough of that. You know, I – I don’t know about you, but I think the war against terrorism isn’t supposed to crop up between September and November of even numbered years, and yet that seems to be the pattern. There is a sudden burst of activity, a sudden urgency about this whole thing three months before an election every other year.”

Obama should resign in protest.
We didn’t make Terrorism a wedge issue.....muslims did. I will not give in to his ideas and take the blame for this.
Ha! Very good. :)
With some trying to turn bin Laden’s death into a campaign talking point for Obama’s reelection, it is useful to remember that the trail to bin Laden started in a CIA black site — all of which Obama ordered closed, forever, on the second full day of his administration — and stemmed from information obtained from hardened terrorists who agreed to tell us some (but not all) of what they knew after undergoing harsh but legal interrogation methods. Obama banned those methods on Jan. 22, 2009.
Some people know the facts, I got this one in an email.
“I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I I I I me I me me me me I me I me I.”
Democrats can’t remember the last lie they told.
