Bush Home Buzzing After Bin Laden Killing
CBS Local Media ^ | May 1, 2011 | ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS (AP) – Flag-waving supporters left flowers and patriotic red, white and blue balloons outside the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush Monday in the hours that followed the U.S.-led mission that killed Osama bin Laden.

“Thank you President Bush,” said a sign left on the gate outside the street leading to the secluded Bush residence.

About a dozen people gathered near his security-tight residence until a thunderstorm rolled into the area early Monday.

“George Bush did so many great things for our country. We really wanted to be with him to celebrate this momentous day in American history,” Billy Fox, a college student, told WFAA-TV.

“We love America,” said Fox, who held a U.S. flag. “This hangs in my dorm room every day, it’s my roommate’s, and I said we had to bring it out to celebrate America.”

Bush, who was home when he learned of bin Laden’s death late Sunday, released a statement congratulating President Barack Obama and praising the U.S. military personnel involved in the operation in northern Pakistan. Bush was in power on 9/11 when terrorists commandeered four commercial jets, crashing them in New York City, Washington D.C. and in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people.

Why is the filename on that photo “look_at_these_ignant_bytches_2.jpg” ??

Is that how you got it from the Pegasus News site? I looked at the source site, it appears to be currently named “osama-1.jpg.250x250_q85.jpg”. Did they change it, or did you?

That’s the way it was when I transferred it to my photobucket account. I noticed it at the time and figured some libtwit at Pegasus did it. Glad they changed it.

Your post got me curious, so I went back to where I first found the picture...

Check the comments by “Ginger” and “Noelegy”. It appears they got it corrected.

BTW, thanks for pointing it out. Good eye.

Ah, thank you! When I saw it I knew it didn’t look like something you would do... but it didn’t seem to match the tenor of the website in your accompanying link, either. This makes a lot more sense, came from a different (and obviously snarky) source originally.

Mystery solved, it really had me puzzled. Thanks!

Any decisions that are made, any “news” that is reported, is to serve someone’s purpose at the expense of our nation.

And once that reality settles into ones mind then all the equations "change" and we then see things as they really are.
