Just like Olbermann would have done with Bush. Ok, let me try that again without laughing.

Only the teagaggers aren’t proud of our president.

I think it’s pretty cool people are leaving politics at the door in this instance, I have a lot more respect for hannity, limbaugh, beck, everyone that actually gave Obama some props for continuing the job and not giving up (like most of us on the left wanted). Now that he’s gone though, I’m curious as to what our strategies over there are going to be…

Oooh, He watched a group of white navy seals kill a bunch of dune coons on video. Courageous. Seems like a diversion from the news of him killing Khadfi’s grandkids more than anything else. Our president is the most opportunistic con-man around. Good for him. I like his amorality.

My good amigo,it’s at 46% approve,47% disapprove.That’s RCP,that’s as non-partisan and un-biased as you can get.They even include rather Conservative Rasmussen….. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html It’s not too good that’s for sure.We’ll have to see where it goes from here…. Since you know who’s death.

You are the better man Sean, good for you. You’ve got a head thicker than rocks, but also a heart of gold. These few and far between good days in America must be savored, more importantly shared with and by all who are lucky enough to be a part of the greatest place on earth. God Bless America and her people….I guess just this once, even you libs.

Haha wow surprised Mediaite agreed with me !

Meanwhile O’Reilly and even Hannity had somewhat balanced shows regarding Obama and paid heart felt respect to the troops and 9/11 families , not themselves .

MSNBC will sink even lower and lose even more viewers after all is said and done , IMO.

Hannity called it “the opposite of what candidate Obama said he would do,”….. Umm ive been watching clips all day of Obama the candidate saying he would go into Pakistan and kill Bin Laden without the Pakistan government knowing. Hannity is just another ignorant conservative.

Gutsy? Obama had no choice, Osama had been spotted on several occasions in broad daylight. On top of that Obamas approval was getting dangerously close to the 30′s.

Well… Lawrence couldn’t leave politics out of it now could he?

The “gutsy” part was going in to kill him with ground troops, and not just with a drone. I suppose the case could made that he put people’s lives at risk (the SEALs) because he wanted the glory of a ground attack, and more evidence that “his guys” killed Osama. BUT, I think that’s needlessly cynical. The photo and video evidence will be important in quelling the conspiracy theorists, and proving that he’s actually dead, and not just “assumed” dead.

Exactly when did he said he’d invade a sovereign nation to kill bin Laden?

…..even went as far as to call it “the opposite of what candidate Obama said he would do,”

I don’t even follow politics that much, and this was years ago, but even I recall Obama being very hawkish regarding Bin Laden.

Well, it is Sean Hannity afterall. On Fox News. I shouldn’t be surprised.

It must pain him to say this.

Actually, I believe Olbermann did give Bush genuine credit on rare occasions.

How do you know all of the SEALs were white? Some of them may well be “dune coons.” Racist cretin.

You’re right; it IS “needlessly cynical” – which is the only reason you said it.

One way or another, we wanted bin Laden taken out. The ground attack was a huge political risk for Obama; Carter got barbequed when “his” rescue mission failed.

The only glory involved in a ground action belongs, rightfully, to the troops. Bombing the place would have obliterated any chance for a positive ID as well as any useful intel from the site. According to Ed Schultz, Obama wanted the third chopper included in the mission, which turned out to be of crucial value when one of the other two choppers conked out.

You believe ? Occasions ? Please name one or admit you are lying.

Why wouldn’t Hannity give credit. Only deluded, kool-aid drinking, Bush-bashing, forward leaning political up-one-shipers would be so crass as to make politcal gain out of this.

There were 4 choppers, 2 in the plan, 2 in reserve. I’m pretty much positive that these black ops guys didn’t need POTUS to tell them to have a Plan B to get them out. WTF does Crazy Ed know about it?

Aw cummon, Pablo, let the Dims have their moment in the sun. Dims only enter the political game for personal financial enrichment and to satisfy their lust for power over others. They really don’t have anything of substance to bring to America Let ‘um pretend their “piker-in-chief” suddenly became competent, and single-handedly masterminded and orchestrated this entire operation

I do not like Obama but I think he made a good call on this one. If it went bad he would have been blamed so going by that I will also give him credit. Its a good day for the USA

Has MSNBC ever given credit to a Conservative?
——————————————————————

Shhhhhh…hear that silence?
That’s the silence of the Progressive’s Anti-War Movement; because you only hear them when there’s a Republican in office – more of a POLITICAL movement than one caring about human rights, wouldn’t you say?!

Kinda like the naacp’s support not for blacks, but for LIBERAL blacks; like the NOW – support not for women, but for LIBERAL women.
Hence the double-standard and hypocrisy of these “political rights” PHONIES!

jrcmi said:

Well, kinda… but only because it was within the context of what I was talking about. The question posed was what was “gutsy” about the decision to get bin Laden? Which is what I answered, in depth, from both sides… while giving my opinion of the situation.

One way or another, we wanted bin Laden taken out. The ground attack was a huge political risk for Obama; Carter got barbequed when “his” rescue mission failed.

Exactly. It was a risky move for Obama to do it this way, and if he was soley interested in minimizing American casualties, he would have dropped a bomb. However, the death of bin Laden was more than just murdering the man, it was murdering that which he represented. And to do that effectively, Obama HAD to send in troops and get positive confirmation.

There really was no other way… but had it gone wrong, it would have been a disaster for Obama and his Administration.

The only glory involved in a ground action belongs, rightfully, to the troops. Bombing the place would have obliterated any chance for a positive ID as well as any useful intel from the site.

Agreed.

According to Ed Schultz, Obama wanted the third chopper included in the mission, which turned out to be of crucial value when one of the other two choppers conked out.

Forgive me for not taking Big Ed’s word for it. But either way, I’m not sure why this matters, or what your point for this is.

Telling the truth seems to make him squirm.

Even when someone like Sean says something you agree with, you guys have to be nasty and mean-spirited. Don’t you ever get tired of being so unpleasant?

@ImNotBlue He said it in July 2007: “Let me make this clear: There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again,” Obama said. “If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.”

Don’t forget sports fans, in approximately 45 minutes El Rushbo will be on and I’m hoping, poking fun at all those liberal hacks who fell for the media tweak of the year.

Nice! Good find.

What the hell is so damned gutsy about sitting in the secure White-House and directing an unlawful attack, carried out by other men?! Just how pathetic is bestowing adoration on a person who was never in harms way?!!

Oh u righties are correct good old Sean did say something good about Obama, I will give him credit. He just didnt get the fax for his talking points from the GOP yesterday. Oh and lets wait a little and get some good hard facts on this enhanced interogation right wing talking point. Im not saying it wasnt a factor but there is alot of different stories about how effective that was. I dont think anyone should be stating that as a factor in killing Osama until all the facts are known.

And if you dont think what Obama did was gutsy ,boy George Bush and his Dad must have no guts either all they did was get us involved in 3 wars and sit back and watch.

I’m sure that attacking Iraq, which Bush knew had nothing to do with 9/11, took MUCH more guts . . . dishonesty . . . deceit AND conceit.

You show how small a person you are by trying to minimize the political courage and resolve that Obama displayed. YOU would’ve been first to call for his head on a pike if the mission had failed.

Remember how gracious and forgiving you were toward Carter after the failed Iran mission? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

ImNotTrue said:

Don’t YOU ever tire of being dishonest – which I find VERY unpleasant.

This wasn’t about Hannity; it was about YOU. You tried to insinuate that Obama acted for reasons of personal glorification, then attempted to backtrack from it when you were confronted.

Since you bring it up; Hannity has repeatedly shown himself to be, like you, dishonest and insincere. The Republicans, which includes their propaganda wing at Fakes “News,” have made a concerted effort to deny Obama any credit for his positive acts and refused to engage in any meaningful cooperation. America’s best interests be damned, their political interests came first.

To the Republican Tea Party, “bipartisanship” means “our way or the highway.”

Fox/Hannity pushed the ludicrous “birther” nonsense even though Hannity himself is presumably intelligent enough to dismiss such foolishness. They have described Obama as “arrogant” – a “code word” for “uppity” – to undercut him among people who harbor latent, or maybe not-so-latent, racist tendencies.

I gave Bush props for signing legislation that encouraged more efficient lighting (and didn’t ban incandescent bulbs, as some here believe). I did so not only because I approved of this legislation. I also knew it would be unpopular with some in his party but he nevertheless did what was right and deserved recognition for it.

If Bush had OK’d the bin Laden mission I would similarly recognize a courageous act on his part – without insinuations of the sort you made.

Landing on an aircraft carrier in a jet with a giant “Mission Accomplished” banner hanging over the flight deck – when the mission was FAR from “accomplished” – WAS a cynical act; a campaign stunt paid for by the American taxpayer.

Your repeated word-twisting, insinuations and misrepresentations are a form of cowardice.

Olbermann was an early backer of the Iraq War . . . before he wised up. He criticized Michael Moore at the time and supported Bush.

Maybe YOU should do some research before making accusations.

Davoid: “Aw cummon, Pablo, let the Dims have their moment in the sun.”

As opposed to Republican vampires.

“Dims only enter the political game for personal financial enrichment and to satisfy their lust for power over others.”

Richest member of Congress: Darrell Issa (R-CA).

“They really don’t have anything of substance to bring to America”

Health care for all, livable minimum wage, breathable air . . . all that frivolous stuff.

” Let ‘um pretend their “piker-in-chief” suddenly became competent, and single-handedly masterminded and orchestrated this entire operation”

From dictionary.reference.com: “Piker – 1. a person who does anything in a contemptibly small or cheap way. 2. a stingy, tight-fisted person; tightwad.”

I thought Obama was spending us into oblivion! Some “piker”!

No one’s pretending any of that crap. YOU are pretending to know otherwise. The linked article says nothing about WHO wanted 4 choppers. You are therefore either a liar or a fool – a Republican-PAID liar or fool, at that.

The way this operation was handled was entirely political.

By the White House, not the shooters, who were great, Were there a president of the USA who knew anything about military matters and cared about operational effectiveness, there would have been no release of information at all. The Pakistanis would have found the compound empty and the wreckage of the helicopter, and been left to wonder what happened, and to whom. Instead, we have our community organizer announcing that OBL was killed, that important information was taken, and that OBL had been buried at sea. No operational security at all.

Amateur hour all the way.
