No MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Bullshit

[titaniumsalute]

One thing I have noticed is how humble both the President, the White House and Cabinet have been with the killing of Osama. There has been no rah rah rah. There has been no MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. There have been no real political spin or patting on their own backs.

I think this shows the professionalism and how serious many of these people take their jobs. It is a 180 from the shit-kickin' boots and cowboy hat crowd that we recently had. Could you even comprehend Obama landing on an aircraft carrier?

Good for the Pres and White House staff for being humble and serious about this whole situation.

1. Yes, GOOD FOR THEM! And no, can't imagine Obama under the Mission Accom. banner!

2. It's a sign of hw far we fell as a nation that the appropriate reaction

seems remarkable. think about it a moment--we're remarking on the appropriate response.

It won't be for another 5-10 before we FULLY realize what a sad, sickening era was GWB.

6. A brief glimmer of the 'old' United States.

7. Exactly...

...and it makes me proud ~~ which I have not been for a long time.

8. Can't even imagine Pres. Obama in a flight suit landing on air craft carrier like Capt. Underpants.

The thought of it just cracks me up. He has way too much class for show-boating.

9. Differences between the bu$h regime and Obama Administration

are like night and day.

These people know how to act in public, the bu$h regime were like little kids on the playground.

10. Nope, no bullshit at all....

11. One thing it has made me realize though

...is that our conutry likes characters. That's why people like Bush. He was goofy...he was a character. The redneck mentality of this country loved the "kick-ass biscuits and gravy" mentality.

Obama is boring. He isn't a character. It's tough for comedians to find jokes. Of course that is how a President should be when it comes to NOT being a character.

12. I still have dry heaves from seeing Bush dressed up in a flightsuit. Disgusting on many levels. n/t

13. And isn't it a welcome relief?

The new normal in the aftermath is so... normal. It's hard to express how grateful I feel that we don't have to put up with the Bushco dog and pony show any more; their propaganda crazy train was as exhausting as it was embarrassing.
