Expanding the List of Two Achievements (What do you say to: "Bin Laden is Dead and GM is Alive")

The Obama campaign has taken to a new slogan: "Osama bin Laden is dead. GM is alive." I believe this was first coined by Joe Biden, so that tells you something right there.

If the Obama campaign wants to open the door, I say we take the bait and walk through. "Osama bin Laden is dead."

Great!

And????

Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood now rule Egypt.

Our men and women in uniform are being murdered by our "peace partners" in Afghanistan.

The Middle East is an ever-more threatening place with Islamists gaining power.

Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon.

The United States has abandoned many while aligning with foes.

Our President apologizes for America at home and abroad. Obama wants to slash our military until it is no longer the strongest on earth and we cannot adequately defend ourselves.

"GM is alive."

At what cost?

And how about the rest of the story? You know, those small annoying details like the fact that our nation is collapsing under crushing debt.

I’d say GM is more undead than it is alive.

[dfwgator]

Osama bin Laden is dead.

Where's the Death Certificate?

[Vaquero]

What do you say?

Bush Spied....Bin Laden Died.

aint nobody buying a Volt.

Here's the truth about GM

[DarthVader]

GM is on the verge of bankruptcy again.

[henkster]

GM is as alive as Lenin. And it costs the Russians a lot less to make Lenin look alive as we are paying for GM.

[red-dawg]

The economy is dead and the big lie is alive.

And every American child enters the world with $330,000 of national debt to pay. (Somebody should verify that, though, because I heard it on the radio the other day and did not note the source.)

GM isn’t alive, it’s heart was transplanted into the UAW. Bin Laden is dead, true but the weakness of this Kenyan s inspiring a whole host of new bin ladens

[Joe 6-pack]

Funny, isn’t it, that the party of euthanasia would laud the effort to prolong GM’s existence through artificial life support.

[NonValueAdded]

I’d say Obama had little to do with either. The hunt for Bin Laden was initiated under GWB; Obama’s credit is that he didn’t say no and chose to continue the Bush policy. With respect to GM, Ford Motor Company was a very interesting control variable. Obama did nothing for Ford yet Ford is doing as well as GM. Therefore, how can we conclude that the billions Obama spent helped GM?

[N. Theknow]

GM is Zombie Motors.

It has bled so much red ink there isn't anything left.

A lib said on Facebook that GM and Chrysler were alive and well.

I commented/asked how many shares of stock she owned or was contemplating buying.

IOW - put your money where your mouth is Sweetheart.

[Col Frank Slade]

Psst..guess what ?

Zawahiri is still alive.

[Col Frank Slade]

Psst..guess what ?

Zawahiri is still alive.

"GM is alive"

Yes, while it's clear that Obama's policies have failed, they have not, as yet, completely shut down any major US industry leaders.

So yes, we concede that "GM is alive" and "It could have been worse", both of which are suitable campaign slogans for the Obama administration.

[bmwcyle]

And GM is about to be dead again.

[HereInTheHeartland]

What about that debt rating thingy Mr President? Is the US rated higher than it was 4 years ago?

[ctdonath2]

The SEAL team missed several opportunities on OBL because BHO wouldn’t give the OK to do what GWB spent 7+ years preparing the team to. Saying “yes” to killing America’s #1 enemy is not hard, and he tried not to.

GM stock is half of what it was just two years ago. Taking over a company, pumping billions into it, and forcing it to build a flagship product nobody wants isn’t a winning strategy.

Ariel Sharon is still “alive” too.
