Palin Thanks President On Bin Laden’s Death, But Doesn’t Mention Obama By Name (Update)

video
» 325 comments


Yesterday, Sarah Palin joined “distinguished military leaders and service members” to speak at a Tribute to the Troops event at Colorado Christian University. All of the proceeds are to be donated to Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, a charitable non-profit designed to help “those who have lost a loved one on active duty with the Armed Forces.” The event sold tickets for $25 and, in addition, held a silent auction that, alone, raised $24,000. Clearly, good being done. However, this charitable work may be sullied in some people’s eyes by Palin’s decision to thank President Bush for Osama bin Laden’s death but never mentioning by nbame the guy who actually signed the order.

The Denver Post has a write up of the full event. Here is the part that’s raising some eyebrows:

“‘Their courage and their determination brought us justice,’ Palin said of those who hunted the terrorist figurehead for nearly 10 years. ‘They know that freedom isn’t free. It’s a God-given right and worth fighting for.’

Palin never mentioned President Barack Obama by name — instead saying, ‘We thank President (George W.) Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory.’”

While the event was planned way in advance of Bin Laden’s death, it, unsurprisingly, became a focal point of the night. What better way to tribute troops by reminding the crowd of a huge symbolic victory that came just hours before. However, making a specific point not to mention President Obama (and, yes, it must have been a specific point. I doubt she and her speech writers just forgot his name) was a bad move. It’s just a distraction.

Here was Palin, undeniably doing something positive for her country and she just goes and leaves herself completely (and perhaps rightfully) open to attacks. While Obama should certainly have played second fiddle to our nation’s servicemen and women at an event like this, a mere mention of his name would have kept her from looking petty and kept the attention on the troops she was tributing.

It’s similar in many ways to what many people were saying about Obama’s birth certificate speech last week. Why would the President’s handlers have him give a big speech about having “serious business” to attend to and then schedule an excursion to visit Oprah Winfrey right after. Obviously, in hind sight, we can see that he really did have serious business this past weekend but, at the time, it looked foolish.

So, we’ll see what gets more headlines; Palin’s charity work or her Obama snub. And, no matter which direction the media takes it, remember that Palin could have avoided all of it by just saying one little name.

Update: this story was originally published based on numerous accounts (namely the Denver Post) that Sarah Palin neglected to mention Obama by name during a charity event at which she spoke. This was an angle picked up by the LA Times, ABC News and others. And while that is technically correct, after reviewing the entirety of the speech, it is clear that Palin did in fact thank the president, and though she doesn’t mention him by name, she does praise the leadership shown by Obama in making the decision to go in, saying that’s an “example of the leadership that troops deserve.” However, one can still reasonably wonder why Palin didn’t feel the need to mention President Obama by name.

Check out video from some of Palin’s comments from the Denver Post below. Their full report is here.

    Dude, I listened to the speech. She said that I thank the President and President Bush. Why does she have to actually say Obama by name? The intel was gathered under George Bush. All Obama did was say yes, move on this intel. Courageous, yes. But would any other leader in his position do the same thing? Yes.

    Does Obama want a cookie?

    Like the rest of the GOP she’s clueless and classless. Here is an update on this “Credit The Bush Administration” bullshit which even the AP was forced to correct.

    The AP updated the story yet again, adding this crucial detail.

    “Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic”

    Up for debate? I think not! It’s pathetic how the losers in the GOP are trying to take credit for something they were unable to do!

    You have a lot of rage. You might want to listen to Mrs. Obama and get on her Move! Campaign. It might help increase your endorphin levels. :)

    I had no overall problem with Obama’s statement on Sunday. I do find it odd that he mentioned himself 18 times (saw that somewhere).

    Saw the following joke somewhere, “The only similarity between Obama and the Navy Seals is that the Seals say “Aye, Aye” and Obama says “I, I”

    By the way, I’m pretty sure the Bush admin. would have dropped some bombs upon receiving that Intel. It is you who disrespects…with your immature empty statements. Try some grad school…it may help

    To be fair, most GOP/Conservative types did directly credit Obama (by name!) for taking Bin Laden off the count. See the stories on this site about Hannity and Limbaugh. Palin is simply incapable of being gracious on any issue and cannot bring herself to credit the administration for anything. It is her nature, which is fine, but she has to expect to hear about it.

    WCinWI said:

    Probably be a real good idea to actually read the accounts of how this operation was set up. The initial intel came in 2007 under Bush, but most of the serious tracking, finding and planning was under Obama.

    By the way, doesn’t crediting Bush violate the “don’t go back to the last administration” rule? It applies to blame for stuff like the economy so it really should apply here as well. Just saying…

    And, finally – any president can do the right thing for all of the people and should get credit for it without the partisan crapfest.

    Oh…so, information gathered over 8 years, including the last two years, led to Osama being killed…okay. That makes sense, and it makes your insane need to give no credit to Obama even funnier.

  • TerryDo

    Well Palin gave credit where credit was do; to all the fine soldiers who are in harms way daily all around the world and to the brave 40 Navy Seals who accomplished their mission.

    Just because someone gives the go ahead does not warrant them getting credit for the intense and possibly deadly action taken by the 40 Navy Seal.

    Quitty pants is a poor sport and sore loser. Still can’t get over the fact that she wasn’t elected queen of the universe and only 2nd runner up in a beauty contest.

    GWBush and admin deserve no revisionist credit for hunting down OBL and bringing closure to the thousands of friends and relatives who lost loved ones on 9/11 to a crazed mass murderer. He and Cheney were instead focused on finding “weapons of mass convenience”.

    “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”

    Yes, Obama acted courageously on this, however without Bush-Cheney’s techniques, it couldn’t be guaranteed that a capture or kill would be possible. Look at Libya is being run. Why are we there? What’s Obama’s reason for being there? He began ANOTHER war for no reason. Seriously, you blindly worship this guy and what has he done?

    Where are the jobs? Why is he self-manipulating gas prices? Why is Bernanke still at the Fed?

    The Seals get the credit for Osama. Obama, Bush and if Clinton was involved in the start of it all, then he should do. It’s a joint effort – none of this “It’s only Obama” stuff. Palin thanked both Obama and Bush in yesterday’s speech. As I said, I listened to it.

    She also explained her foreign relations doctrine that had a flair of Ron Paul in it. How’s that going to sit with the liberals that like RP? HAHA

  • DonnaK

    Her statement is one reason why she would never even be considered by serious people to be President…This fool just can’t get over the fact that President Obama beat her in 2008, she is such an ego maniac she doesn’t realize her 15 minutes are over, and people don’t care what she thinks, at least not enough to matter…She has such a Jr high mentality, it’s every one from Katie Couric to President Obama, what a small minded person she is…..Take your money and go away….You are laughable now, and you will be a foot note in history, as a fool!!!

  • Colorado_Conservative

    Jon,
    Maybe you missed it or did it intentionally or just didn’t do your homework and simply repeated what was said in the very pro-Obama Liberal biased Denver Post, but Sarah DID give thanks to Obama, albeit not by name…..aren’t we overly sensitive!!

    “We want to thank our president,” ~Palin

    “We thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory,” ~ Palin

    In the future, for your sake, I wouldn’t give ANY credibility to the cough cough so called journalists at the biased and failing Denver Post!

    Then in 2004, top al-Qaida operative Hassan Ghul was captured in Iraq. WAIT A SEC!!! CAPTURED IN IRAQ???? I thought the LIBERALS said there no connection between Bin Laden and IRAQ???? If BUSH didn’t Invade Iraq we wouldn’t have gotten this guy. SO Iraq invasion lead to key info about Bin laden…interesting :)

    lets see what else is in this story.
    Rendition AKA secret CIA prison…the rendition program that Obama was against it. What do you think they do there the whole time?? Play patty cake? Its secret for a reason. We don’t typically do the torturing its typically done by a 3rd party information extractor.

    The revelation that intelligence gleaned from the CIA’s so-called black sites helped kill bin Laden was seen as vindication for many intelligence officials who have been repeatedly investigated and criticized for their involvement in a program that involved the harshest interrogation methods in U.S. history.

    “We got beat up for it, but those efforts led to this great day,” said Marty Martin, a retired CIA officer who for years led the hunt for bin Laden.

    Oh no libs:

    Let see what Barry said in 2009:

    “We no longer need to kill Bin Laden, claims Barack Obama”

    By Daily Mail Reporter
    Last updated at 9:34 AM on 15th January 2009

    Barack Obama has claimed it is no longer necessary to kill Osama Bin Laden to win the war against al-Qaeda.

    In an unprecedented departure from the current wanted ‘dead or alive policy,’ the U.S. President-Elect said that simply keeping bin Laden holed up in a cave was enough to keep America safe.

    ‘My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him,’ he said.

    ‘But if we have so tightened his noose that he’s in a cave somewhere and can’t even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America.

    ‘I think that we have to so weaken (his) infrastructure that, whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function.

    ‘I’m confident that we can keep them on the run and ensure that they cannot train terrorists to attack our homeland.

    Mr Obama’s comments mark a significant move away from the policy pursued by President Bush since the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11 and which he himself endorsed during the election campaign.

    NOT TRUE.

    No wonder the clip in this post doesn’t even have the portion of her thanking Bush, because then it would be obvious that she thanked *our president* as well.

    “According to multiple reports, Palin acknowledged President Barack Obama in her remarks, though not by name. She did, however, offer her thanks and appreciation to his predecessor George W. Bush.

    “Yesterday was a testament to the military’s dedication in relentlessly hunting down the enemy during many years of war,” Palin said. “And we thank our president. We thank president Bush.”

    “Yesterday was a testament to the military’s dedication in relentlessly hunting down an enemy through many years of war, and we thank our President and we thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory,” she said. “Those who would kill in the name of religion must be sought…We are still at war with the brutal enemy that hates America and our allies and all that we stand for.”

    The funniest thing is why anyone who despises Sarah Palin cares whether she did or not. And of course, the focus is on her alleged snub, and not the charity work.

    I guess just saying thanks to Pres without mentioning his name is not enough.

    I’m really happy that you baggers recognize just how big this was and are eager to try and give Bush credit. It just shows that even you morons realize that Obama is the only President getting credit for sending the Seals in and you’re desparate to insert the GOP some glory. EPIC FAIL! Just like Bush!

    Here is a little analogy for all you Bush bashers who seem to think that Obama somehow found bin Laden all by his little self – with no help, intel, groundwork gathered over the past decade etc…

    Pretend that you have an entire football team to set up the play, block, throw the ball, get coached from the sidelines, that allows for a final touchdown. Not to mention making the conditioning of that team a top priority, buying the best equipment, training, funding, coaching, then standing back and letting them do what they are trained to do.

    ( caution! – the fans may turn on you when you are losing or having a bad season, maybe start calling you assassins or traitors, maybe take it out on the owner and the organization, try to rewrite rules…).

    Does the person who scores get the glory? – absolutely! but if he didn’t have the blockers taking down the other team, the touchdown would have been impossible. If the team didn’t have videos recording the plays and strategy of the other guys, lining up a defense and finding their weak spots would make victory tough.
    Sure, Obama scored the touchdown, but to throw out the rest of the players actions and dedication to winning, is called bad sportsmanship.

    If you want to make Obama into a singular hero for the success of this mission, that’s up to you, but don’t expect the rest of us to make him an unrealistic ‘hero’ for a decision he couldn’t have made if he didn’t have the team to back it up.
    Of course, this analogy only works if you think of this victory as bi-partisan(being on the same American team) which most of you liberal posters don’t seem to grasp.

    You want to go there do you?

    Bush let bin Ladin slip away? How about the truth. The NYTimes leaked the story and bin Ladin slipped away. Now, does that ring a bell with you or do you want to do a search and find out that Bush did not let bin Ladin slip away – the times released the “secret” plan. Would you not think that was treason? Of course not – cause a lefty has no moral compass, and they would do anything to undermine Bush. You guys are so damn dishonest that it’s beyond contempt.

    Palin is a pig is she? Why would that be? Because she says things you don’t agree with, that makes her a pig. Is that how you talked to your Parents when you didn’t agree with them? Do you call your spouse a pig when she doesn’t agree with you? Now, cool your rhetoric – it’s unbecoming a grown up.

    Like the rest of the GOP she’s clueless and classless. Here is an update on this “Credit The Bush Administration” bullshit which even the AP was forced to correct. The AP updated the story yet again, adding this crucial detail. “Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic” Up for debate? I think not! It’s pathetic how the losers in the GOP are trying to take credit for something they were unable to do!

    President Obama deserves praise for making a courageous decision. President Bush deserves praise for putting the intelligence apparatus together. But you seem to be speaking as if you know all the details. There are things that happened during World War II that took 50 years to be revealed because of security concerns but you think you know all that went down on a operation that took place within the last week. Stop being so partisan and start trying to approach the truth in what you write.

    So you think the only way to have a “United States” is if everyone agrees with the left? Do you know what a one party system is called? Do you understand what the United States was built on – the type of government? Do you think that perhaps if Obama didn’t tell the Republicans to go to the back of the bus and other absolutely divisive comments coming from the top that perhaps you’d cool your rhetoric also?

    Would you like a refresher on some of the nasty comments OUR President has made about US, perhaps you might just glean where the divisiveness comes from?

    Actually, all I had to ask was my grandfather who was a POW – water boarding was NOT the reason the were hung I can assure you. As for the families of 911 or those survivors of Pearl Harbor, I hardly think simulating drowning over the face of a known terrorist with a doctor standing nearby to ensure when they had had ‘enough’ was considered just fine- if it meant extracting information that would bring justice. People like you seem to forget that those being water boarded had no issue with blowing you apart and no recriminations for raping, chopping off your body parts and doing whatever they felt necessary to get what they wanted. We are at war – a war they declared.

    so, palin is getting attacked and people are lying and apparently outraged that she didn’t thank the President, which she did, yet Obama didn’t thank Bush… makes sense.

    Good. We want you to be happy. Palin getting attacked? Simple solution to that…should could quit taking paid speechifyin’ gigs and stay out of the way of the lightning. Somehow I don’t think Palin is going to do that. I think she is a true believer of the old adage “any publicity is good publicity” and one thing Sarah is not…is shy. On the “Attention Seeker Scale” I would rate her as a “Nuclear Attention Whore”….

    You want to go there do you? Bush let bin Ladin slip away? How about the truth. The NYTimes leaked the story and bin Ladin slipped away. Now, does that ring a bell with you or do you want to do a search and find out that Bush did not let bin Ladin slip away – the times released the “secret” plan. Would you not think that was treason? Of course not – cause a lefty has no moral compass, and they would do anything to undermine Bush. You guys are so damn dishonest that it’s beyond contempt. Palin is a pig is she? Why would that be? Because she says things you don’t agree with, that makes her a pig. Is that how you talked to your Parents when you didn’t agree with them? Do you call your spouse a pig when she doesn’t agree with you? Now, cool your rhetoric – it’s unbecoming a grown up.

    Well here’s a link to a Senate report with those conclusions:
    http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/11/29/2009-11-29_team_w_let_osama_escape_report_sez.html

    And many contemporary military analysts agree that Bush’s anemic effort in Afghanistan let bin Laden slip away.

    As for what is or is not appropriate to say about Sarah Palin, some reasons for identifying her as a pig, in no particular order:
    1. She goes to a Tribute to the Troops and tries to undermine and slight the Commander in Chief. It is unbecoming and a disservice to troops to do so. No serious politician or public figure does that, regardless of whether we’re talking about Bush or Obama. I know this because I have witnessed the most rancourous partisans on either side at events to honor troops, and none of them even get close to slighting the CINC in front of them. Sarah Palin did it because she is a pig and does not know any better, or care to.
    2. She abandoned her duties as Alaska governor for money, which means she is no more loyal than a rat. So you have me there, I probably should have called her a rat. She also cited unfair criticism, after saying Hillary Clinton had to be “tough”
    3. She routinely abused her office, whether it was as mayor (when she was told she was making unauthorized expenditures for personal gain she responded “I’m the mayor and I can do whatever I want until they tell me I can’t.”)
    4. She mocks Americans for having hope and desiring change.
    5. She is a hateful, petty, and paranoid narcissist, and thinks “You’d like to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Tell me, how do you keep up on current world events?” is a “gotcha” question, but “Why hasn’t the black guy in the oval office shown his papers?” is admirable political discourse.
    6. She pretends to love this country and doesn’t even speak english (seriously, WTF is “refudiate” and what’s a “squirmish”?)
    7. She sees her children as a means to an end. When Rahm Emmanuel says something is “retarded” she calls it heartbreaking, cause, oh, her boy Trig. But when Rush Limbaugh says Rahm Emmanual was right, and when a group of people get together it’s a “retard summit,” she steadfastly defends him, because, oh, her pocketbook.
    8. She’s a hypocrite. In addition to vetoing funds for the Special Olympics in her (brief) capacity as Governor, she insists on abstinence only education even though she herself got knocked up before she got married. Yep. Count (you’ll need both hands): She got married in October, Track was born the following April. Now, how many months between October and APril? That’s right – seven.
    9. She is an anti-Semite. Yup. Blood libel has a hateful legacy of violence against Jews. In the aftermath of the Gabby Giffords shooting, some people (incorrectly, hastily, but understandably) saw a connection between her repeated embrace of violence as a means achieve political ends and the shooting. Instead of doing the non-piggy thing and saying “gosh I don’t think this is my fault but it wouldn’t hurt to tone down the rhetoric,” she cranked it up, and compared her situation to that of the deliberate demonization and murder of Jews. So she’s saying that her reputation is more valuable than the life of a Jew. That’s pretty darn hateful.
    10. I don’t know…since this is a “Top Ten” list, let’s go with a Letterman reference: she accused David Letterman of being a child molester who wanted to have sex with her young daughter. See #7, above.

    Obama has nothing to do with this. He’s proven to us all that he’s been working hard. Sarah Palin’s lack of thanks is noteworthy (if you follow her, I guess), because she didn’t recognize the current commander in chief who was ultimately responsible for the success or failure of this mission. Obama made it a point when he got into office to find bin Laden, and as a leader in this effort, he succeeded. It’s just not very classy for Palin to mention Bush, who hasn’t been in office for YEARS, and not mention Obama. It’s clearly meant to be disrespectful.

    Anyone who gives a DAMN what this ignorant fool thinks need their head examines. Sarah Palin is a JOKE her and her followers are just to ignorant to realize it. George W. Bush, deserved to be brought on trial as a War Criminal, nothing else. International Trials since the end of World War II has found that Water boarding was indeed Torture, if FACT “WE AMERICANS AFTER TRIAL HUNG JAPANESE OFFICERS FOR WATERBOARDING AMERICAN TROOPS”, deciding at the time that Water boarding was indeed a War Crime. Bush and Cheney are War Criminals, because they and they alone decided that Water boarding was not a crime, WELL IT IS!!!!! Just go and ask the Families of those Japanese officers that the United States HUNG after the War……

    To paraphrase RWR, the trouble with liberals is they know so much that isn’t so.

    Regarding Those Claims About WWII Waterboarding

    “…..regarding Paul Begala’s recent claim that the U.S. executed Japanese prisoners after WWII for waterboarding. The first thing he learned in his research is that the people in question where not — as Begala and some lefty bloggers claim — executed for waterboarding. (National Review had a good post addressing that this weekend citing the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, a.k.a. Tokyo Trials, in which “only seven Japanese war criminals were executed. Every one of them was convicted of either being complicit in or directly committing atrocities and murder on a grand scale.”)

    In his research he found that not only was no one executed for waterboarding, but no one was prosecuted for waterboarding either:

    There were 5 cases where Japanese citizens (one was a Japanese civilian) were prosecuted for torture that INCLUDED as part of the torture charges “water torture.” The first problem is they were also charged with much worse things along with “water torture.” The second is that the “water torture” that took place then is not the same as CIA “waterboarding.”

    Links are provided from U.C. Berkley War Crimes Study Center, go read through each of the cases:

    http://wizbangblog.com/content/2009/04/27/regarding-those-claims-about-wwii-waterboarding.php

    National Review provides a condensed discription of the same information on each of the cases:

    At the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, a.k.a. Tokyo Trials, that Begala says McCain is referring to, only seven Japanese war criminals were executed. Every one of them was convicted of either being complicit in or directly comitting atrocities and murder on a grand scale.

    If MSNBC were a conservative network, it would give credit to the targets on Paln’s web page for causing the shooting of bin Laden. Which would make about as much sense as their blaming her for a murder in Arizona….or most of the other mud they sling in her direction.

  • notsofast

    It is now official. The WH spokesman in a live briefing which is on now verified that UBL was UNARMED when he was shot to death. When reporters asked why didn’t they take UBL alive, the WH spokesman said “there was a lot of resistance going on.” When asked if the resistance was in UBL’s room, he said no, but there was resistance in other areas.

    Translation: UBL was unarmed in a room with his wife and he was murdered rather than taken alive.

    Well here’s a link to a Senate report with those conclusions:

    Bwahahaha, this is callled…..make work partisan dem senate projects on the taxpayer’s dime, that’s how the dems roll:

    The Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Democratic majority prepared the report at the request of the chairman, Sen John Kerry, as President Barack Obama prepares to boost U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

    The entire purpose of the timing and the report is to give cover to Obama, and allow Obama to once again claim it is all the fault of George W. Bush.

    It can be argued with equal vehemence that Bill Clinton had many more opportunities to kill Osama, before 911 ever started.

    There is no evidence that US air and ground troops, available at the time, would have captured or killed Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora. Kerry has no more proof that we would have found bin Laden than Kerry could prove he was in Cambodia, which he also has claimed, and was not.

    At the time of Tora Bora, there was cause and reason to use tactical nuclear weapons, but no guarantee that they would have 100% guaranteed success. Neither Clinton, Bush, Obama and certainly not John Kerry would have ever made that call.

    I have personal experience with the testimony of John Kerry on the contra affair. During the Contra Hearings, John Kerry misrepresented facts and lied. He ruined reputations and caused loyal Americans to lose their personal fortunes.

    Kerry is not a serious man. He is a serious politician and an opportunist. Take the report for what it is, not much more than a political document from a documented liar.

    I’m always willing to provide alternate perspectives. Here is an article that suggests Obama did it less than willingly. The accomanying photo may shed some ironic perspective. Who is the smallest man in the room?

    Did Senior Military/Intelligence Officials Overrule President Obama Regarding Mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden?

    I am just reading that at the last minute the administration was trying to abort the mission and was over ruled by the military. They TOLD Obama when the operation was going to go down and had to pull him off the golf course to come in and watch it. From pics being released, they at the very least show him in his golf gear and just a little angry. It is being recounted as a coup within the WH to make this happen.

    If this is true, (don’t know yet if it is) the liberal rhetoric praising the size of Obama’s balls, just got some ice cold water dumped on it.

    Are you saying that the American public is so stupid that we don’t know the name of our President? When she said our President and President Bush it wasn’t enough for you?

    You’re giving the writer of the story a pass are you?

    Giving a pass? I’m not his journalism professor. My point was that the author didn’t say anything that is inflammatory or libelous. Take this…..

    “However, making a specific point not to mention President Obama (and, yes, it must have been a specific point. I doubt she and her speech writers just forgot his name) was a bad move. It’s just a distraction.”

    The author goes on to claim that she is leaving herself open to attacks. I’m sure people with PDS (as her defenders say) will find any reason to bash her that they can. Nevertheless, omitting Obama’s name from her speech was tactless, was it not? If you are giving a congratulatory speech for a productive quarter at work would you not name your boss? Or would you simply say “our boss” before congratulating the former employer by name?

    Just as some people are way too zealous in attacking Sarah Palin, others are way too zealous to defend her every move. She seems deliberately petty here, as the author points out.

    Why is Sarah Palin’s alleged lack of thanks creating such a huge stir in the lib/prog community?

    Is this president doing his job because it’s the right thing to do or is he just doing it for the gratitude?

    Probably because the con/rightwingnut community gets worked up over earth shattering issues, like “Birtherism” and school transcripts. Conservatives are the ultimate hypocrites, I could care less about Palin, a total non-entity, when it comes to politics. She will not get the Republican nomination, she will not be on any Republican ticket, and she will fade back into her, “I married a Moose”, reality TV show.

    You should really make an effort to unclutter your brain, and think logically. I suppose, you, in some way are trying to go after the “lib/prog community. Which in,and of itself, is difficult. Since con/rightwingnuts have proven themselves to be a joke, in American society. What with all their attention going to “Birtherism” and the search for Obama’s school transcripts. Now, WCinWI makes the illogical leap from, “lib/progs” qiuestioning Sarah’s dissing the President, to now implying that Obama is merely going after Osama, for self adulation. That is the most idiotic leap, I’ve ever heard.

    Look I could care less, if Sarah said anything about the President, or his role, in eliminating Osama. And I believe most “lib/progs, feel the same way.Right now the “Republicons” look like a complete joke. They dwell on non-issues, like “Birtherism” and school Manscripts, and they criitcize the President on everything. from not believing in “American Exceptionalism”, to his time managerment. And now the country is learning, Obama is an exceptional leader. He can visit a tornado devastated area, in Alabama, attend a Space Shuttle launch,(btw it isn’t his fault they cancelled the launch), then return to Washington and host a White House/ Press dinner, and still manage, to oversee eliminating the World’s most infamous terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, all within a 48 hour period. Yet. instead of talking about, or concentrating on, the real issues, that face the U.S., such as the National Debt, jobs and growing the economy, the “Republicons” continue to focus on non-issues.

    As a “lib/prog”, I give the Bush administration all the credit, in the world. And I am certainly no Bush backer. I depised a tot of what he did. But the intelligence gathered, during the Bush administration, was invaluable. I’m sure they couldn’t have caught Bin Laden, without such intel. Here’s where I give Bush more credit, than he may deserve, wether intentional or unintentional, Bush’s stated position, concerning Osama, was “I really don’t care that much, about Osama”. I believe that this presumed total disinterest, in Osama, was actually critical, in capturing Osama. I think this policy of disinterest, in Osama, gave Osama a false sense of security, which allowed our intelligence community, to gain vital scraps, of intel that eventually led to Osama’s demise

Plus Palin know how to get under the libs skin. Good for her. Doesn’t take much to get them going. Outsmarts them all the time.

    You’re leaving out some major details here. Bush got distracted in Iraq. It’s been very well documented Obama was focused on finding bin Laden from the very beginning of his presidency. Obama took office in January 2009, and when Leon Panetta became head of the CIA in February 2009, Obama immediately instructed him to make finding Osama bin Laden a top priority. Bush deserves credit for his contributions, but Obama was the one who was ultimately responsible for the success or failure of this mission and the years leading up to it, and for that he deserves the credit he’s receiving.

    Sarah Palin spoke at the “Tribute to the Troops” rally at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood Monday evening:
    Palin took the stage and thanked the members of the crowd for their service.

    “Freedom is not free but a God given right” said Palin. “I thank you for being part of the solution.”

    She then addressed the death of Osama bin Laden, who was killed by US forces.

    “One of the evil leaders of the Islamic extremists..has met justice at the hands of America’s finest.” She said. “We thank our president, we thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory .”

    NO, the post (was saying) that she never thanks him at all – which is a lie.
    “Palin never mentioned President Barack Obama by name — instead saying, ‘We thank President (George W.) Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory.’””

    See – right there, it was left off. She said: “We thank our president, we thank President Bush…”

    She doesn’t mention him by name? “Our President” isn’t good enough for you?

    Petty. I’ll say it again, petty. All this bullsh*t controversy, completely making a huge issue (and yes I say huge because you should have seen twitter) and completely ignoring the CHARITY work, or all the great things she said about the troops. It’s Palin derangement syndrome, plain and simple.

    People are *outraged* that the woman they DESPISE and call every vile name in the book *didn’t mention the president’s last name* THE HORROR!

    Relax. It’s fine for me. I’m not one to take such great umbrage to everything this woman does. Her failure to do so, however, is a slight. It’s bad etiquette or bad form. Hypothetical: if you were giving a speech at a company banquet after a successful quarter, would you not thank your boss by name yet give a shout out to the departed boss who left over two years ago?

    Is this being deliberately picky? Of course it is. That’s why Sarah Palin could have headed off the “controversy” by not being childish in the first place. She gets attacked for everything. Yet she routinely puts herself in positions to be attacked. She had a right to be frustrated after the Tucson shootings blame game. Then, she turns around and talks about “blood libel” and how she is a victim? Could she not have handled that with a little more grace?

    If you think about it, Palin bashers might not be the only ones suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome. Speaking of speeches, I have to go give one now. I’ll be sure to reference everybody by name…..(haha).

    To be fair, most GOP/Conservative types did directly credit Obama (by name!) for taking Bin Laden off the count. See the stories on this site about Hannity and Limbaugh. Palin is simply incapable of being gracious on any issue and cannot bring herself to credit the administration for anything. It is her nature, which is fine, but she has to expect to hear about it.

    Probably be a real good idea to actually read the accounts of how this operation was set up. The initial intel came in 2007 under Bush, but most of the serious tracking, finding and planning was under Obama.

    By the way, doesn’t crediting Bush violate the “don’t go back to the last administration” rule? It applies to blame for stuff like the economy so it really should apply here as well. Just saying…

    And, finally – any president can do the right thing for all of the people and should get credit for it without the partisan crapfest.

    I am sure I can produce quotes from all of these teabaggers at some point saying “Obama is President now, not Bush”. But when Obama does something the previous President was unwilling and unable to do. They give Bush credit. If they weren’t trying to destroy our country they would be insignificant little turds not even worth responding to.

The rest of you wingnuts can go jump into a lake. Sarah Palin included. That’s one reason that bitter bitch will never be POTUS.

    Senate resolution on bin Laden killing honors Bush, Obama
    The Senate resolution marking the killing of Osama bin Laden credits both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, saying the former president launched the mission to bring the al Qaeda leader “to justice” and the incumbent president completed it.

    I am sure I can produce quotes from all of these teabaggers at some point saying “Obama is President now, not Bush”. But when Obama does something the previous President was unwilling and unable to do. They give Bush credit. If they weren’t trying to destroy our country they would be insignificant little turds not even worth responding to.

    Is it necessary to use a sexual term to describe people? Sheesh.

    Perhaps if Obama didn’t blame Bush all of the time, you wouldn’t have this problem all of the time. Doubtful, but more probable.

    Nor was Bush unwilling to do the task. You are giving Obama credit for a foreign policy item that he probably wouldn’t have implemented. Unless you can quote in an article where he would do such a thing, then I would retract this statement.

    But while most of the attendees had no problem coming up with answers (Eliot Spitzer said Brian Williams, as did Andrea Mitchell, while SNL’s Bill Hader went for The New Yorker’s David Grann), Palin fumbled when asked.

    “Oh my goodness, that’s a great question,” she said, before turning to her husband Todd and asking for his input.

    When Todd also balked, Palin came back and said, “Um, gosh, that’s a great question, I have to think about it, OK? Because there are many.”

    As Palin walked away from the camera, she ran into her Fox News pal Greta Van Susteren, and then turned back to the NBC cameras to shout, “Greta Van Susteren is the most influential journalist!”

    I agree with you, and now you know just how un-Christ-like the Conservatives and the “Moral Majority”, sound. I always suspected, these two groups, acted Un-Christian-like.. Again, you are absolutely correct, you were quick to see the hypocrisy, in those, who tell others, they are NOT Christians. “Judge not, lest ye be judged”. So if those who claim to be Christian, and then, by their actions or words, presume to pass judgement, on others, and act God-like, it is safe to assume, these individuals are merely “false prophets”, and actually should be ignored. I know, good Christians should do everything, in their power, to minister to these “lost souls” and try to lead them back to God and Jesus. I hope some good Christian, can minister to Sarah Palin. Surely she has passed judgement, on our President, and declared, he is not a Christian. Therefore, she is clearly a “false prophet”. And should be ignored, until she is led back to God and Jesus. I will pray for her soul. As will I pray for all those Conservatives and members of the “Moral Majority”, and any other individuals, who presume, to be God, and personally judge others, declaring who is and who is not a Christian.

    “You are giving Obama credit for a foreign policy item that he probably wouldn’t have implemented”… Wrong-O Reindeer Lover. You should actually study more. Obama made it pretty clear, in his campaign speech, in 2008, that he would find and kill Osama Bin Laden. Thus making Osama, his number one priority, in foreign policy. Which is the very policy, you assert , Obama would never have implemented. And while, he campaigned, after 9/11 and after Bush initially, made Osama Bin Laden, public enemy number one, it is fairly clear that Obama would have done the same, had he been in office. Now you can argue, that I have no idea what Obama would have done, had he been President, at the time of 9/11. But if you do, there is no way you can argue that Obama, probably wouldn’t have implemented, the same policy. It is clear, you know nothing, of what Obama would, or would not have done, so why do you bother us with your wildly speculative, inane opinions? Oh, btw, see the Presidential debate, against McCain, in 2008, where Obama says specifically, that he will find Osama, kill Osama and destroy Al Qeda. Now I don’t know exactly, which debate it was, but they have been showing clips, of it, since Sunday. Here’s your link.(http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7joz9_the-obama-administration-chasing-am_news). Please listen to Obama lay out his strategy, for Afghanistan and Pakistan, and in particular, what he would do, to Osama Bin Laden and Al Qeda. This video, should be required viewing. How McCain says over and over, that Obama would “invade” Pakistan, in order to get Osama. And now that Obama is President and has gone into Pakistan, and had Osama killed. What do you think of McCain’s assertion, that Obama would invade Pakistan, to get Osama?

    Quit your lying. And quit trying to feed us your BS. The “Republicons” have been trying to blame the mess, the economy is in, on Obama, since day one, of his administration.

Your accusation of condescending behavior, is just a testament, to your hypocrisy. The “Republicon” party speaks condescendingly, of the President, on a regular basis. Since when has hypocrisy, become so chic, among “Republicons”? You can’t even turn around these days without some “Republicon” refuting a position, he/she had taken just one week before. Do you know how scary “Republicons” look, after Palin, Bachmann and now Trump. And how foolish “Republlicons” sound after asserting their BS, as to whether or not Obama was a leader. Even “War Criminal” Cheney, gave Obama props. Yes, right now, Conservatives look like scary little clowns. “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”

    Wow, so a private citizen does not mention dear leader’s name in a speech about demise of OBL and the media sheep are butthurt? Unbelievable. We do know how thin their skin is, don’t we??? Wee wee’d up for any minor infraction against the sheep leader. Check it out:

    In an email to The Daily Caller, Gina Channell-Allen, president of the Pleasanton Weekly in Pleasanton, California, said that her paper “received a call from the White House asking us to take out part of the story because it reflected poorly on the First Lady.”

    The story in question was a soft feature about Marine One titled, “Inside Marine One, President Obama’s helicopter,” that ran in the paper on April 20. Pleasanton staffer Amory Gutierrez “didn’t get to ride in ‘Marine One,’” she wrote in her story, “but I did get the VIP tour and took photographs of the otherwise unseen aircraft.”

    She also wrote a sentence that the White House thought made FLOTUS look snooty.

    “Basically the reporter said that the First Lady didn’t speak to the pilots but acknowledged them by making eye contact,” Allen wrote in her email.

    Wow. Media has turned the sheep rabid. LOL. Oz, what a clown.

    Unfortunately you have missed the many times your talking points have been debunked with sources these past couple of days. The “I am not that concerned about him.” quote had been cropped and taken out of context, but, if that’s what it takes, you will take it. How do you people live with yourselves, honesty isn’t an issue.

    The bin Laden unit was revamped due to the fact that the al Qaeda as a whole was no longer functioning in the manner it once did because much of it was decimated, the remnants of it splintered so they made necessary changes. That information has also been posted with sources.

    Information had been gathered within the past 12 -24 months, but, the seed was planted and then developed over previous years. Had they not gotten the information inre the couriers from KSM, the past 12-24 months, intel agencies would not have had anything to develope.

    I have no idea how anyone can criticize SP for not giving BO credit, and not seeing that BO not acknowledging Bush starting what he very finished, is anything but hypocrisy.
    It seems to me that if there is a single theme running through all the SP criticism, it is her lack of professionalism and political sophistication.
    Of all the Firsts attributed to Obama as President, there are two that distinguish him above all others: He is our 1st President that has blamed all existing problems, and his inability to solve those problems, on his predecessor Bush. Bush never blamed Clinton, Clinton never blamed Bush Sr., Bush Sr. never blamed Reagan, Reagan never blamed Carter, Carter never blamed…….
    Also, Obama is the 1st President to never acknowledge ANY of his predecessors….Bush being just one of his predecessors.
    SP is labeled the consummate political incompetent.
    What is Obama’s excuse for the lack of professional decorum in rudely refusing to acknowledge Bush and his administration as the creators for a policy and process. There is not a single conservative that doesn’t feel Obama absolutely deserves respect and applause for very professionally finish of a 10 year process.
    How moronic is it to criticize a beginning-level-at best “aspiring?” political neophyte while forgiving the President of the United States for doing the same thing?

If he had not given the ok to take OBL out, and word got out, which it would, sooner or later, then Obama would look like a bigger fool than he already is. The ones to Thank and Praise are out Special Operation soldiers who put their life on the line to carry out this mission. They, and only they, deserve credit for a Job Well Done!

    You made the accusation, you prove it. What I have seen is that the republicans have said it’s Obama’s to fix now. Do you disagree with that? If you do, then who exactly is to fix it? Do you fix problems in your life or do you say well it’s not my fault and just sit there? Last I checked Obama RAN for president, we didn’t draft him, so he signed up to fix the problems. Wanted to take them on, well it’s his to fix now, that’s how it works.

    Who the hell “debunked” the quote; Glenn Beck? You better expand your world. The quote is NOT taken out of context. I saw the original press conference, and it’s available online if you care to watch it. Bush started running away as fast as he could from “Wanted, Dead or Alive” when he started to find out how hard getting bin Laden was going to be.

    I appreciate your sincere response. And, with deference to Lincoln’s REAL sentiment, we’re all assholes some of the time.

    But Palin is not unfairly characterized or criticized. It is no sin to have modest academic credentials, gaps in one’s learning or intelligence, or to have overachieved given one’s background. But, given all of that, don’t be a hypocrite. Sarah quit the best gig she ever achieved on her own, and now exploits the political celebrity she stumbled upon … one must admit, to very lucrative personal benefit … to attack people on issues and for “faults” she truly knows almost nothing about. She caught one fly ball, and now thinks she’s a major-leaguer.

    And let’s get over the whole “racist” thing. Not every criticism is grounded in race or ethnicity, and no “liberal” believes that. I reacted to your reference to race because it wasn’t — and isn’t — part of the instant dialog. In fact, we can talk a whole lot about race, without “racism” being a part of the conversation.

    Yeah, Barry’s black. But (e.g.) that has nothing to do with criticizing his economic policies … unless your position is informed by a (misguided) belief that he has an inherent racial bias, in which case you (third person) might have a racial issue of your own.

Dont rewrite history, no matter how well this economy does in the next two years the republicans are gonna say its bad. Hell if they didnt what the heck would then run against Obama on. Do you forget Bush has an approval rating of under 30% at the end of his term?

    And he did fix a major problem that Bush had, he found and killed Osama bin laden.

    First of all, Bush’s approval was at 37% when he left office. Obama’s was at 41% on Saturday, and he’s getting an expected, but temporary bump. Enjoy the short lived ride, because in less than a month he’ll be back floating around 40%.

    Why didn’t Palin mention Obama by Name?   Palin is paid by big corps, (Koch Bros.) to spread hate about Pres. Obama.
    Why would she  mention Obama when it depended on her big paycheck $$$$$$$.
    Underneath it all, Palin is a ignorant dumb woman.

    N O T H I N G !        The R party is dispicable.
