If Bush had been Pres. when Osama was killed, it would be non-stop "Thanks to our President".

This morning I've heard a lot of "Thanks to our troops" on radio and TV...but not one thank you to President Obama.

I'm sure it just sticks in the craw of the talking heads and many in this country, that Osama bin Laden was killed in a military strike ordered by a Democratic president!

1. If Dimson had accomplished this, the media would already be asking where to build the monument

2. And what day should be the national holiday in honor of "W". n/t

3. Caught a little of Fox this AM

They are already trying to give Bush the credit.

14. Exactly. First thing I heard. Bush gets the credit.

4. President Obama is getting a lot of positive attention from

everyone on Morning Ho this am, from rethugs and others. I think they have no choice.

5. Good to hear..

but I'll bet if Joe could find a way to spin it as a failing by Obama...he'd do it.

6. Not here, I'd wager

maybe I'm wrong, who knows. :shrug:

8. No, not here. I should have clarified. n/t

7. It sticks in my craw that DU is caught up in all the jingoism and propaganda.

Time to bring the troops home.

9. The troops in Iraq should never have been there.

The fight in Afghanistan is futile.

10. People ARE thanking BUSH!!!!! It's completely mind-boggling.

[Papagoose]

11. Where I live, people are thanking Bush and the troops

They are going out of their way to specifically and very purposefully leave President Obama's name out. I have several friends on Facebook claiming that President Obama is trying to take credit for Bush's accomplishment, several angry that the President used the words "I" and "me" in his announcement and that Bush would NEVER have tried to take any credit for soldiers' victories.

12. On a related note

The tornado victims are being helped by volunteers, southern hospitality, churches, and prayers. Not one peep about FEMA.

13. Not just a Democratic president...

but a "Muslim terrorist" president. Don't forget that part. This event completely undermines their attacks on his patriotism, which means they have to minimize his involvement in it as much as possible.
