Nobody Does It Better

"Any president could have killed Osama Bin Laden."

Well, that's what I've been hearing. According to this here link, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2137636/SEALs-slam-Obama-using-ammunition-bid-credit-bin-Laden-killing-election-campaign.html?ito=feeds-newsxml the Navy SEALS who did the actual killing of Bin Laden are tired of Barack Obama getting all the credit and using it for political gain. They felt so strongly about this, they told the on-line version of a Rupert Murdoch paper about it. I guess a Facebook page would have been a little too Marine Corpsy? The SEALS, evidently, tired of the publicity, want to get back to the anonymity  of following orders that any ol' president could give and maybe making some action-adventure movies starring their real selves...

FERRERMAN! What the- !? How can you mess with the SEALS??!!

I'm not. No actual SEALS will be harmed in this post. I don't believe any actual SEALS spoke with the Mail either.

When Bin Laden was killed last year, aside from the obvious partisan elation of Americans who exist solely to love Obama and his Socialist/Muslim, divisive politics, there was a bit of a raucous quietude from those on the rightwing side of the American aisle. They kinda half-heartedly credited GW Bush for the kill because he had "given the order..." but, in the next breath noted that, "No, Obama DID NOT  personally kill Bin Laden as the Elite Liberal Lame stream Media was acting like he did because they're always like: 'OMG! He's like THE MESSIAH!!!' 'cause, that's the way they are..."

No one in their right mind had actually thought Obama had personally pulled the trigger on Bin Laden but, the GOP can not ever over-simplify stuff enough. It's not enough to say that water is wet. They have to add that someone (usually Barack Obama) thinks it's dry.

Sigh. Sometimes you just want to shake these people. But then you stop and think that that might have been something that happened to them as babies. That would explain a lot. But then, republicans can explain absolutely anything. Don't ask yourself if YOU are better off than you were three years ago. Ask yourself if the GOP is better off than they were three years ago.

They aren't. If you are explaining away the death of the worst terrorist of the 21st century as "no big deal....something any president coulda done...our guy woulda done it but....our next guy coulda done it..." then, you're not having a good century and the next four years aren't going to help that change.

Well, that explains that!
