Take cover from that tornado and be careful.

Lassen, I am not even going to waste electrons in responding to your ridiculous postings anymore. It is like talking to a 3 year old who has their mind set on one thing only.

We need pictures and we need them real soon. The American people will be demanding that, for the same reason we go to view the deceased at a wake. We need to see with our own eyes for true closure. Without that, what you fear will become reality.

I understand and don't blame you. I feel the same way when conversing with Liberals sometimes. I guess it's best to just let it pass.

Kind of like the nasty tornadic supercell that just rolled by my front yard. Sheesh!

Even Rush Limbaugh Is Giving President

Oh give me a break DaleMN

Interesting that for years, Bush, Chaney, Palin, Bachmann, The Tea Party, etc, etc, etc, have taken a pounding right in these very forums. They’ve been called war criminals, liars and racists among many other things.

When the shoes on the other foot some folks just can’t seem to deal with it. How predictable, anyone who has a differing opinion is deemed a hater. Typical ploy from the left in an attempt to shut down anyone who doesn't agree with them.

So let’s get back to the facts. Exactly what did Obama do to facilitate or organize the capture of OBL besides giving the ok?

Obama the credit he deserves/

Not sure if you were listening to his whole show or not but it was no credit... if you heard his entire (very sarcastic) commentary... but nice try. Did you watch the video on that page?

show?? I wouldn't waste five minutes of my time on that SOB. I saw that story while looking on a newspaper website, and didn't watch the video. Not surprised if he were in fact being sarcastic. People all over the country are thrilled about this operation, and people like you and Limbaugh are too biased to give credit where credit is due. I for one can't wait to see Obama's poll numbers after this event.

Guest 05-02-2011 07:27 PM

So you tout Limbaugh's praise, don't listen to his show or even the video that was on the very page you linked to?

Sorry, I have to do it again. :1rotfl:

Guest 05-02-2011 07:31 PM

just listened to Obama speech again. In his 9 minute 23 second speech he said I 9 times...I can report,I directed,I was briefed,I met with,I determined,and some others. All this he said" I" too much is just garbage,another way to deflect the outstanding job he did.You guys are reaching for straws. By the way if you listen to the speech try and count the times he said WE as in all of us as in a team. Some of you posters out there better hope that independents dont read your stuff because they will vote Obama without a doubt.

Careful now, sounds a little dare I say hateful. I thought hate speech was reserved only for us Conservatives?

Guest 05-02-2011 07:54 PM

Lassen,

Those tornados are downright scary. I have been very close to them in Iowa and Kansas. Glad you made it through okay.

Guest 05-02-2011 07:57 PM

Thanks. It was close although it never dropped one. The larger question is why I have a two thousand dollar camera sitting in my office and I'm out shooting pictures with my iPhone. :shocked:

I love to take weather photos.

Guest 05-02-2011 08:29 PM

dklassen, please understand this.

It's all part of their strategy. Earlier they were saying the same thing about me, but I understand their game. That's why they need talking points from their leaders sent out in mass.

Liberals and talking points :1rotfl::1rotfl:

And then you prove your point proving a link to a conservative blog using the old Saul Alinsky talking points from the election.

Now that is funny!!!!!!!

Interesting That Obama Chose
 
the opposite strategy that Bush employed in going after OBL. When we had him cornered in Tora Bora, Bush turned the operation over to the Afghanis, rather than using US commandos, fearing casulties, etc. Obama on the other hand, could have bombed OBL's compound, but chose instead a riskier strategy that had a higher chance of failure and casulties. I guess that's what you call real leadership.

I am not sure about the leadership issue, but it was a wise decision on Obama's part and probably based on the intelligence that the fewer that knew the better chances of accomplishing the mission. Someone is dirty in the Pakastani set up. Someone knew that OBL or someone who was hiding from someone lived there. That is the reason that we can't clean up the drug business in the U.S. Someone is on the take and someone is looking the other way.

It is something you learn in junior high, two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

thank you

For stepping right up and proving the point.

Guest 05-03-2011 08:25 AM

I will offer that he made a good "decision". The leadership absolutely, no doubt came from the military and JSOC.

...a good decision does not ordain or imply leadership...leadership is not a one time or some time quality...it is earned by continuous risk involved performance as a leader. Qualities almost absent in politics in general and in the 535 in Washington in specific!!

Obama gets the credit for the action taken. Now let's see him continue to do that in his day to day performance as POTUS.

I must be missing the talking points in my post! Mind pointing them out to me?

Guest 05-03-2011 12:25 PM

Billy, listening is part of leadership. He listened to the military,he listened to JSOC. But in the end the decision his and only his good or bad. There were no guarentees. Like others here you are selling the man short because you do not like him. There can be no other reason.

Guest 05-03-2011 06:21 PM

Contrary to your interpretation, I am not selling the man short because I do not like him. You said that not me.

As I have posted many times including long before Obama became POTUS, I am a very intense performance oriented, results oriented person. Improvements with measurable results. Liking him has nothing to do with it. I know that doesn't fit the persistent need by too many for the old R or D yardstick.

btk

PS I did give him credit for making the decision and stated a hope for more of it in the future!!

Guest 05-04-2011 06:01 AM

The thing I think I give him the most credit for is all the flack he took from his own base for not closing Guantanamo Bay. Most politicians are VERY guilty of pandering to their base. Obama campaigned on closing GITMO and it never happened. Many Democrats and Independets called him out on it. Now hindsight is 20/20 and I think we can say it's pretty obvious WHY Obama did that. But for those who say that Obama practices whatever the polls preach, this is certainly a case demonstrating the opposite.

Guest 05-04-2011 08:16 AM

The following article points out why/how politician's partisan pandering causes flip flopping their positions:

http://www.commentarymagazine.com/20...%0Ancy-pelosi/

Hence no credibility.

I think the last paragraph is significant as it points out the destructive nature of rigid partisan yard sticks. Especially the following statement in that paragraph:

"It underscores the degree to which partisanship can ravage people’s fair-mindedness and, in the process, make them look like fools and hacks."

This partisan obsession and the desperate need to measure everything against an R or a D yardstick has over taken the disgusting, linguine spined, hollow, don't do what is right...political correctness!!

Nothing is sacred in politics...except re-election.

Was going to say something smart at the risk of being called a communist again.
But yes, I am sure he is dead.
