Heard at work: Of course, there's Obama trying to take all the credit

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

The reply instantly popped out of my mouth, "yes, it's terrible. I thought donning a flight suit and landing on an aircraft carrier to be surrounded by armed forces wearing costumes of pastel t-shirts in front of a Mission Accomplished banner was in very poor taste."

1. nice

2. Is there something....

wrong with a "black" president taking cradit for something he help plan and ordered?

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

5. You're correct of course, I'll remember to use that one, too.

Since it seems to already be the meme. I also told him I thought President Obama would have taken the blame if it had gone wrong, as well.

3. Good on you. If I hear anything like that, I will NOT hold my tongue.

Bush got away with way, way too much incompetence to have the clueless try to claim that he did anything significant.

4. Good for you.

I wonder how many people actually think Bush flew the plane in?

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

6. One of the idiots that heard me

Said that Bush had the right to do that because he was a military man and a pilot and had walked the walk.

I just rolled my eyes and walked away.

11. no

omigawd. the ignorance.

[lob1]

15. "He (Bush) was a military man..." LOL.

You might remind your "friend" that Bush was a deserter.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

18. Not a friend

Just a cow orker. I mean coworker.

16. And it ain't easy to walk that walk when you're wearing a giant codpiece, boy howdy.

7. What kind of reactions did you get?

:evilgrin:

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

8. One person did say

"Good point". I was surprised.

9. People need to remind the misinformed that Bush DISMISSED catching OBL

months after 9/11.

Of course, the MSM is bending over backwards to remind people that he was the first one out there with that bullhorn, :puke: so you'll never see them run the footage of Bush saying that OBL isn't all that important.

If a Dem had said that, they'd wear out the recording from looping it so much.

[rfranklin]

12. Now, be fair...

it was a full siz months after 9/11 that he gave up and claimed he never really loved Osama.

[CakeGrrl]

14. Gawd, such a failure.

I'm very glad President Obama finally took care of business.

[TuxedoKat]

17. Good for you for speaking up

I always do too, even if I don't know what to say exactly, but I can't let their comments go unchallenged if I don't believe them or believe they are incorrect. In your case maybe you gave that other person the courage to speak up too in the future.

[barbtries]

10. and then???

tell! :thumbsup:

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

13. Really, that's it.

I pretty much rolled my eyes and went back to my office.

19. The reality is that Obama is being extremely low-key about this...

... but of course, the wingnuts are taking a page out of Rove's playbook: attack your enemy on his strengths (not his weaknesses). Therefore the wingnuts are trying to say that Obama is strutting, when in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
