CBN: Obama is not gloating enough over Osama's death. Very suspicious.
When President Obama released his birth certificate last week, CBN's David Brody called it a "very good day for Donald Trump" ... so it is no surprise to see that his "analysis" of the news that Osama Bin Laden has been killed is dedicated primarily to criticizng President Obama not gloating enough while making the announcement and therefore "catering to thugs":

Around America late Sunday night and at the breakfast table this morning you can sure there were hugs, handshakes, tears and jubilation. President Obama’s HUGE announcement last night was a proud and happy moment for our country yet I was struck by President Obama’s words and tone last night. His speech made no mention of any sort of proud accomplishment and it certainly made no mention of how exciting this moment was for our country. I know President Obama understands that getting Bin Laden doesn’t mean an end to the war on terrorism but how about a smile? How about showing a little joy? How about a word or two saying something about how this is no doubt a happy or joyous occasion for Americans? We got nothing like that at all. Instead, we got Mr. Monotone. Mr. Bars and Tone. Mr. Non-Emotion. President Obama missed an opportunity to connect with Americans last night.

So why did he announce the big news like he was reading the dictionary? You know the answer. It’s because his speech wasn’t so much aimed at Americans. He was being careful of how the “Arab Street” would interpret his remarks. Any hint of gloating or happiness might be rubbing it in the face of some of the crazies in the Arab World and heaven forbid we get them upset! How dare we Americans look like we’re celebrating his death! The travesty of it all! Give me a break. Isn’t it time to stop catering to thugs?

1. Can't we just put these people in a room and let them
bore each other to death?

11. And it can be called Backwardistan.
And they can all starve to death in their homes built 50 miles apart with no infrastructure.

18. LOL!
Did I mention that the homes would be badly built (no building codes, of course) and have poorly dug outhouses?

3. "Isn't it time to stop catering to thugs" - by acting like thugs, you jackass?
What a fucking moron idiot.

Obama's attitude was spot on morally correct - stick to fact, no hyperemotionalism, no triumphalism, no glee, no neener-neenering.

Much like... dare I say it? An adult.

And the total opposite of Shrubbie's constant (and utterly empty) frat-boy rhetoric.

10. Obama should not gloat, but we can gloat for him.
We can say the things that he as president really cannot say.

12. Because he's not an immature bully
like bush. The president has confidence and acts like a real commander in chief.

President Obama has class.

14. If Obama was gleeful or boastful
he would have written that "Obama endangers us with the Arab World by gloating at killing their leader." wouldn't he?

21. You're the guy who pokes the raging dog on the other side of the fence, aren't you, then
you go around telling people how brave you are, and when the dog comes after you, you demand that the whole town come out and defend you.
