Or better yet, let's support a president that invades a country under false pretenses.

The words of truth the GOP HATE!

"Barack Obama Got Osama Bin Laden"

No, not Bush or Cheney who just lost interest. Obama. Lawrence O'Donnell made a great point last night about how the GOP can NEVER LIE/Claim that Democrats are not serious about the war on terror.

That photo is fantastic.

It's probably Karma that conservatives are criticizing Obama for dropping everything he was doing on a Sunday morning and racing to the Situation Room without even stopping to change his clothing.

... just like W. Bush was criticized by liberals for sitting on his a$$ not stopping anything after he was told the country was under attack by terrorists. He continued to listen to the children's book being read aloud as part of a nice photo op.



I think these two photos make nice bookends.

And what if Obama HAD changed into his suit? What then? Would Fox News and Goth be deriding Obama for that? "Oh look, Obama is more conscious of how he'll look in a photograph than with whether or not Osama bin Laden had been killed".

I like this version, better.

Clearly, Bush's pictures are superior, because he's wearing a suit.

Do you really want to talk about Presidents who like to play dress up Goth?

[best12bars]

Posted: 5/4/11 at 1:54pm

... or presidents who are very image-conscious?

It's hard to support a leader when he has to "sleep on" major decisions like should we get Osama bin Laden.

At least he got him.

George Bush sat there HOW long after being told that we had been attacked before he did anything?

Then lied about WMD.

Then gave up on finding Osama.

Yea. I can't understand why democrats had bad things to say about him.

Maybe they should have worn hats?

Bush waited 5 minutes before he even left the school room of children. A terrified coward of a president who did not know what to do.

And some of the children that were in the room on 9/11 were glad that Bush didn't jump up and run.

Goth, the country was under attack.Some of the children? Um, what about the people of the nation needing their commander in chief to take action and show some leadership. I swear, you can spin anything. Bush looked TERRIFIED!

The thing I've learnt the most from BWW since I signed up is not the difference between the West End stage and Broadway but the extraordinary US political debate.

That picture with the hats is hysterical. I'm glad they all got the memo.

Fact is, Bush could have been the best President that this country has ever had...but I still would have an issue with HOW he became President. For eight years I have often said to myself, "Gee, I wish Gore were here to take care of this...like he shoulda been!"

But what's done is done. It's now HISTORY. Bush is HISTORY. And Obama is making his HISTORY.

Can we all just agree on one thing? Goth is an idiot...and a puppet. Seriously, I bet that Fox News could say "the moon is made up of cheese made from Nanci Palosi's breast milk" and Goth WOULD believe it.
