Thank you, President Obama
By Alberto de la Cruz, on May 2, 2011, at 1:04 pm


“I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”

—Mark Twain


The news last night of the death of Osama Bin Laden had been a long time coming. And thanks to our brave soldiers and the decision made by our President, the mastermind of 9/11 is no longer on this earth. For almost ten years, the American people have waited for justice to prevail and for this vile animal to finally pay for his actions on 9/11. Thousands of Americans died because of this diabolical man's insanity and hatred, and though I prefer to not wish death on anyone, there are a few evil individuals in this world who have lived too many years on this earth and should say their final farewells.

I want to thank President Obama for continuing and persevering in the hunt for Bin Laden, and for continuing along the same path first forged by his predecessor, President Bush. I want to thank the president for sparing this operation from the ineptitude and indecision that has plagued his foreign policy these past 27 months. I am grateful that while our president pandered to the leftists during his campaign, once in office he resisted the temptation to capture Bin Laden with an army of unicorns riding on rainbows and used Navy SEALS carrying assault weapons instead.

In the end, it is unflinching perseverance that brought about the demise of one of the world's most evil men. Throughout these nine and a half years of waiting for justice, the thought of ending the hunt for Bin Laden never crossed anyone's mind. Justice does not have an expiration date, and justice served days, years, or decades late is still justice well served.

Thank you President Obama for not bowing to the pressure from those who do not really care about America or justice, and for being an intransigent hardliner in the hunt for Bin Laden.

This is high praise from a right-wing blogger in florida. I read this blog regularly to keep up to date about Cuban affairs in my community. I've never read a good word about President Obama there.

1. "Forged" by Bush and pretty much abandoned by him 6 months later.
All credit for finishing the job to the current President, though I will credit this particular individual for giving credit where public Republican figures still cannot manage much class in that regard.

3. Cuban Republicans are a unique group. My republican state
senator, Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, said "no" to Rick Scott recently when he was trying "to rescue an anti-union bill that appeared destined for defeat."
