    Zeke I guess I am kind of puzzled as to your response to this thread topic.

    To me it seems like it should be one of Obama's crowning achievements that will carry him into a 2nd term, yet you seem overly defensive of it. Why is that?

    The RWSM of course.

    Every time Obama breathes they consider it "a potential weakness."

    And of course they are very very concerned.

    Defensive?

    I'm happy you're carrying the message of Obama's smart and limited foreign policy to the sockpuppet masses.

    They're a key swing demographic.

    Saw this little note at the end of NYT Obama to Afghanistan story:

    Instead, late on Monday, Mr. Obama slipped out of the White House and traveled to Joint Base Andrews. At midnight, Air Force One, its lights switched off and window shades drawn, rolled out from behind a hangar. A small group of reporters, including one from The New York Times, were allowed to accompany the president, after they agreed not to report on his whereabouts until his helicopter landed in Kabul.

    I just do not see why Newspaper's agree to conditions like this.

    You'd rather they tipped off the enemy? Afghani warlords have Twitter too. This has been the way it's worked for quite some time. Did reporters mention FDR was heading to meet with Stalin and Churchill through U-Boat infested waters? Did newspapers mention that Lincoln was planning that trip to Richmond in the spring of 1865? How many times did Bush travel to Iraq and Afghanistan without a word being mentioned until after?

    A FB acquaintance has some cutesy photo that says that thanking Obama for killing Bin Laden is like thanking Ronald McDonald for making you a burger.

    If I knew him better, I'd suggest that it's actually more like paying the CEO of McDonald's several million dollars and the guy who actually made you the burger several dollars.

    The right's bitterness about this topic remains hysterical . . .

    Of course, if Fredo had ever had the wherewithal to actually suck it up and take OBL out (HA!), he'd STILL be prancing around in his Halloween-costume flight suit, waving both index fingers in the air . . .

    I thought he was celebrity in chief. Campaigner in chief.
