President Obama taped an interview yesterday to air on 60 Minutes Sunday, but a preview of his exchange with Steve Kroft demonstrates a confident President who is certain about his decision not to release the photos of Osama bin Laden‘s dead body.

Obama stated:

It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool. You know, that’s not who we are. You know, we don’t trot out this stuff as trophies. You know, the fact of the matter is this was somebody who was deserving of the justice that he received.

In addition to suggesting “we don’t need to spike the football” with any further celebration, Obama encouraged America and the world not to doubt the legitimacy of Bin Laden’s death. Obama admitted, “there are going to be some folks who deny it [but] the fact of the matter is, you will not see bin Laden walking on this Earth again.”

Team Obama is blowing a no-brainer…

enough with the hide-n-seek…

Come on you “multi-tasking ninja”… we are not children… release the details…

Team Obama is deflating an easy 13% poll bounce…
Barack Must Go

Obama sucks so bad all the left wingers have been ordered by the White House to promote the living ____ out of his upcoming quid pro quo exclusive interview with Steve Croft on CBS.

Apparently their all just dumb enough to do it simply because Valerie Jarrett lied in the E-Mail about putting all of their names in a hat and pulling one out for a future ” exclusive ” Obama the liar interview sometime in the futue.

….. and we ” real ” Americans ( conservatives ) are supposedly the dumb ones.
Probably NOT wrong

Still think Andy Rooney would’ve been great. “Did ja ever notice that Bin Laden had a long beard?” Hard hitting stuff.

“Imagine how the American people would react if Al Qaeda killed one of our troops…and put photos of the body on the internet”

Yea…just imagine! Cuz it’s not like it’s ever happened or anything!

And where does he get off comparing our troops to Osama Bin Laden?

Obama’s moral equivalency argument is second only to his strawman argument in # of times used…

What a clown:

The guy who runs the surf shop near my home said he’s thinking of changing the name of the shop to The Water Board. Told him it would be iffy.

that was a pretty dumb quote by todd but what i took from it was just what obama said…”that’s not who we are.”
that’s something they do.

just wish he felt the same way about those ‘patriotic’ warrantless wiretaps. is that who we are mr. president?

Flip flopping isn’t the only issue. The BIG issue is that the public has to dig for this information.

When Pelosi flip-flopped, the MEDIA should have nailed her. Since she knows she is PROTECTED by the media, popular entertainment (Stewart, Maher, SNL, movies, etc), she feels she can say whatever she wants.

Can you see now?!

“On economy, Obama approval hits new low”

Do you now understand why “You Lie!” hussein and the d-crat socialists will string out the osama bit as long as they can?

“Obama in NYC for measure of 9/11 closure”

Another crass CAMPAIGN-FOR-RE-ELECTION show from”You Lie!” hussein.

Interesting fact: although “You Lie!” hussein has been in office for more than two (disastrous) years, and the suspected location of osama has been known for months (he’s lived in that compound for more than six years), osama is killed ONLY AFTER “You Lie!” begins his re-election campaign, ensuring maximum campaign publicity.

Anybody wanna buy an “obozo killed osama” tea-shirt? All proceeds go to “You Lie!”‘s re-election campaign.

Aww, poor TPP, Obama keeps shitting in his corn flakes. Just wait until Obama leaks the photos in October 2012 to put the final nail in the Cain/Palin 2012 coffin…..

Obimbo is worried about our soldiers, or offending Muslims? Muslim’s have no problem killing Americans, burning them, dragging through the streets, and then hanging them from overpasses, and then posting the grotesque pictures for the world to see! Muslim’s, respect strength and power, and only strength and power. NOT posting these pictures again shows just how weak this president is to the Muslim terrorists, and Muslims in general. A strong and clear message must be sent to those that do us harm, and that message is, harm us we will return the favor 10-fold.

Did Kroft ask him about the ongoing prosecution of the CIA agents for waterboarding KSM who got them the information that Obama acted on to get UBL? Or did Kroft not bother to ask any substantive questions.

Wow, another day, another TV show. How does he ever find the time? OH ya, he doesn’t actually spend anytime governing, he simply let’s his underlings do it for him. Know wonder he’s got time for basketball, golf, and the Oprah show. Hell, if your not doing anything else, you might as well!
