    i just have to say this!

    i really have respect how Obama is handling the Osama killing

    bush would be with a big smile on stage but Obama pointsout some respect even if its Osama and show up with a straight face with even a liitle sadnis into it!

    the way he handlings things i think he is a good president and a smart one.

    and also with respect to people around him

    I didn't vote for Obama, but his poker face and high risk gambler instincts have been very impressive. Only thing missing is a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he puts his chips down.

    What I meant is his poker face while attending other events during the day after giving the order.

    i lost respect for the young assholes in this country that had to "party" in the streets right after the news broke of his death.

    we should all just let it "drift" in the past like it was nothing.

    hopefully then the loser jihadist will realize they won't be remembered and get a real job like everybody else.

    yes i also did not like that
    its the same that al those terrorits partyed when the twin towers fell..
    it would be better that the western world would have shown that its better...... but on the other hand it was most and only the US kids havnig that party and after 10 years and all that hate.. well its ok to lett it go.. but keep it at that..:)

    i hope not. this is a man that needs to be the president of a big country like the US of A.
    unless something better .. not being bush like.

    Anyone who hasn't seen it, should look at the photo the whitehouse released during of the room during the raid. The look on Clinton's face, her big eyes, Obama's face, the general's smirk. You can only imagine what they were seeing on the live camera.

    Sorry, being from chicago, I respect the president and respect the man. But not the decisions he has made. Word is they have been working on this for quite some time. My biggest fear is who will run against this man. And hopefully he won't run for another office in Illinois....

    PS, Monday was my Birthday and brotherinlaw sent me this picture to my phone (txt).

    Respect for the way he handled the situation, yes. Obama had/has a lot to lose if this had gone wrong, (the SEALs were ambushed, Osama wasn't there, whatever).

    On the flip side, Obama did NOT kill Osama. The highly trained U.S. operatives did. He simply authorized a covert military action plan put together by military experts and carried out by the highest trained soldiers in the world. His role is that of a pen stroke on a piece of paper.

    Incidentally, the use of deadly force to get Osama has been authorized since 1998 by President Bill Clinton, before 9-11 even happened.

    Not trying to be a jerk, the president is due some credit, but some people are giving him way more than he is due, and the T shirts that say Obama killed Osama are just plain wrong.

    Yeah but the R's credited Bush with stuff he wasn't directly involved in.

    It is wrong on both sides and has been for a while. So to keep the incorrect score, you need incorrect points.

    Yeah, just like how everyone yawned at the end of WWII, right?

    Obviously they are not completely comparable situations, and the death toll obviously orders of magnitude higher in WWII.. but you have to understand that the college students now were kids during 9/11 and spent their adolescence in a country in multiple wars stemming from that event*. When you consider that, and the economy, it's really not surprising that they let off some steam at the news.

    But feel free to tar a whole generation with your broad brush..

    *(yes I understand Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 but I believe that war wouldn't have been waged if 9/11 didn't happen)

    There has bin (pun intended) more dancing on bin Laden's grave than Hitler's when word came out of their demise.

    I hope when someone does an Osama Youtube rant, it will be as viral as Hitler's bunker rant now. :p
