What ever gave them the idea that bin-Laden had mental health issues?

Maybe it was all those reruns of Jeopardy he was watching.

.

“Taifat al-tawhid wal-jihad,”

Say this 10 times really fast, you will never be the same again.

I don't think the Bush assassination documents were ever released. If they were, they were never made public like this. I don't think there is really any need to do these, is there?

from the FBI website (www.fbi.gov):

"Bin Laden is the leader of a terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda, "The Base". He is left-handed and walks with a cane."

Do you really write like that VA? That is horrible, you must be from western VA.

Believable until the Biden comments, then it sounds like an article from The Onion.

Blue Lake

I never mention you or your mother in my comments, I'm not going to respond you and put myself so low. Shame of you.

I think Osama pretty much told his followers to kill ALL of us. . .so this isn't really news.

Being stuck in the house for six years with three wives, eight children, and five grandchildren is actually pretty funny. No wonder they were concerned with his mental health.

redvirginia- You are right, I overstepped. I apologize to you and your mother. I'm sorry.

This is terrible news. Would hate to see Petraeus assassinated.

The seals did not, and do not act on their own. They do follow orders.

Those orders, were giving by President Obama, not Bush.

If Bush had used the seals. We would not, still be in Afghanistan.

You would thik Obama was the second coming of Christ instead of some @!$%# thats trying to turn the U.S.A into the new U.S.S.R..

"My Son, I am renaming you Richard Cranium" - Christ

This is terrible news. Would hate to see Petraeus assassinated.

Bill, is this an indirect way of saying that it's OK to assassinate Obama, but not Petraeus?

Not so simple to go into another person's sovereign land and knock somebody off. The funny thing about Obama is I saw the interview with Sec. Gates, and he said that when they discussed this, they took practically a blood oath to just do it and press on, and when he saw Obama at the lectern giving his little announcement that they got him, he was truly "disappointed." So how's that for loyalty. Anything for some street cred. If there weren't grumblings about him being soft on foreign policy, maybe that put pressure on him to take action.

Some of you liberals act like Obama personally slit Osama's throat.The only thing Obama was say yes to the killing of Osama,then sat back on a comfterable chair and watched the Seals do all the work.Any president could have done that.And if you hate W for not assassinating Osama within 8 years,then you might as well hate FDR for not assassinating Hitler within 10 years.But I know most of you liberals don't hate FDR,because he's a democrat.If however,if FDR was a Republican,you liberals would be complaining all the time about FDR not assassinating Hitler.

Osama bin Laden wanted to kill Obama....

This is not news. For what it is worth, I'm sure that he wanted to kill Bush too.

The only real surprise I read is that he felt Al Qaeda had an image problem.

Why would he think that?

Random pennsylvanian....you are an anti American. Why don't you live in Pakistan with the other haters? You would fit in there.

No dman, I think osama bin laden was quite happy with Mr. Bush.

I find it funny how the pro pubs so easily forget gas prices of late 07 were over 4 bucks a gallon

and the houseing crises was in full bloom under the "W" administration. It is set well in my memory

as I was laid off January 08 before Obama took office.

Random pennsylvanian, do you not know anything about history? There is a big difference between Bin Laden and Hitler. Bin Laden ordered others to strike us on our soil and was successful. Hitler did not. The Japanese were the only country to strike us on our soil during WWII, and at that time, Hawaii was not a state, only an American holding. Back before WWII, our country tried everything to stay out of the war until the Japanese forced our hand by attacking Pearl Harbor.

The second difference between your argument and reality is that both President Bush and President Obama stated they would go after those responsible. Pres. Bush started two wars and while I would be willing to give him credit for getting Saddam Hussein, Saddam was not the problem concerning the attacks on 9/11. Bin Laden was.

And yes, the Seals did the hard work. However, they cannot do that work without the approval of the President.

I have liberal and conservative friends and I don't know of one liberal friend who has "acted" like President Obama "personally" slit his throat (he was shot by the way, not slit in the throat). I'm more of a conservative and I don't hate President Bush for not getting Bin Laden. I am disappointed however. After all, President Bush stood at ground zero saying he would get those responsible. He stood on an aircraft carrier and said "Mission Accomplished", despite the fact that Bin Laden had not yet been captured or killed. And as much as 5-6 years after 9/11, al-Qaida was still either attempting to or actually carrying out terrorist attacks.

By the way, while I can give President Bush credit for preventing an attack on American soil since 9/11, can you also be mature enough to give President Obama credit for preventing and attack on American soil as well? I doubt it. Prove me wrong.

BlueLake I think you are foaming at the mouth again. You're very good at making generalizations. My republican Grandfather served this country in three wars and let me tell you he is no coward, nor a fool.

Obama made a risky call (50 / 50 from what I understand) and the intel he received was good. It panned out, good for him, good for US. Don't assume that I liked Bush, I cared for him about as much as I care for Obama. The Patriot Act, and NDAA are examples from each that make me uneasy about our freedom.

My republican veteran grandfather, you know the "cowardly, incompetent greedy SOB" (I do realize I paraphrased you) has a saying I think is pertinent in regards to Obama getting Bin Laden : "Even the sun shines on a dogs butt some days"

Cliché:
Even the sun shines on a dogs ass some days

Explanation:
1. Sooner or later, everyone experinces some good luck.

Country:
United States

Some of you liberals act like Obama personally slit Osama's throat.The only thing Obama was say yes to the killing of Osama,then sat back on a comfterable chair and watched the Seals do all the work.Any president could have done that.

...and yet George W. never got around to it.

.And if you hate W for not assassinating Osama within 8 years,then you might as well hate FDR for not assassinating Hitler within 10 years.But I know most of you liberals don't hate FDR,because he's a democrat.If however,if FDR was a Republican,you liberals would be complaining all the time about FDR not assassinating Hitler.

Well, Random, in one breath, you say that "any President could have" directed the finding and killing of Osama bin Laden, then in the next, you excuse George W. Bush for not having done it.

Regarding WWII and FDR'S failure to assassinate Hitler, it is no easy task to undertake the assassination of the head of government in another nation. To hunt down a single individual, who lacks any official protection from any nation on Earth is quite another question. I won't claim that it is easy, but perhaps, just perhaps, if Georgie-Boy had kept our nation's focus on the nations where Osama bin Laden was thought to be hiding, meaning Afghanistan and Pakistan, and not diverted our resources to a totally uninvolved nation, meaning Iraq, he might have got the job done.

He did not. Obama did. It really is that simple.

If FDR had responded to Japan's attack upon Pearl Harbor by invading Brazil, I would hate him, or at least view him as a poor excuse for a world leader. Since he instead declared war on Japan, and when Germany declared war on the U.S., reciprocated, I'd say that, Democrat or Republican, he did his job.

You conservative Bush supporters are always comparing apples to oranges, and then wondering why nobody takes your positions seriously.

I grew up in a republican family and none of them were cowards etc. etc. I was referring to republican politicians and the past and current load of crap they call presidential candidates. Run of the mill republicans are really, as far as I'm concerned, just badly misguided. I stand by my characterization of republican politicians and the Bush administration.

So Blue what are your thoughts then on the re-signing of the patriot act, NDAA, the push for change in aviation laws to allow for use of drones over US Airspace?

Do I need to list republican war heros that later ended up in politics? Do you find the timing for the declassification of these documents referenced in the article to be just a tad convenient?

Who out of the current crop of candidates for the presidency has served our armed forces?

Heck who do the troops support this cycle?

I think I understand what you are talking about with the average republican being misguided and I feel the average democrat to be short-sighted. I also think that if we put aside the R's and the W's for a few we find we have more common ground than differences. Money in politics is a problem(one of many) and politicians as a whole get lobbied.

I asked you many questions, if you are uncomfortable with giving answers or just don't have the time I understand.

terrorist...are a lot like leader's...destroying us with stupidity...

You know its funny, Osama Bin Laden is one dead mother @!$%#er, so who cares what he says, and besides killing the president is a fatal mistake. That will give the U.S. the excuse to nuke the holy Mohammed out of the middle east, Do I hear a WWIII.

how many hrs-days did obama delay before giving the aokay?

chuck--I bet all the Rep's are just so pissed that Obama got OBL on his watch.

that's only your arrogant mentality to bet we're so pissed along with it took o only 3 yrs. 1. it took 11 yrs period 2. we are proud of obama and seals and usa including bush for getting bin laden. can you ever be happy for someone other than yourself?

lib50--I reject their old policies and I reject republican attempts to limit women's control over her health.

the one 1 thing you need to be rejecting you are'nt and it concerns you the most. bush tax cuts...you'll never know the diff except for less imaginative job creation due to no incintive for the wealthy. but obamacare will be a disasterous burden to us and the economy. not to mention worthless except for catastrophic purposes. .. outragously expensive and if you don't get annual test the gov mandates (ins doesn't cover it)you will fined by adding $25 a mon the next year on policy. most will pay fine at tax time instead (which was the idea in first place...revenue) and still be uninsured. this is nothing compared to the car ins mandate.. if you're paying for full coverage and feel it''s expensive now you haven't seen anything yet.

The Affordable Care Act Has quite a few good provisions..some in effect now...the rest become law in 2014: To name a few..1. a thirty hour work week will be considered full time to qualify for health insurance, 2. No underwriting (pre-existing conditions cannot be used to refuse a person joining), 3. no co-pay for some preventive services..most for cancer screening. 4. waiting periods longer than thirty days are prohibited, 5. no lifetime or annual limits..These are all included in the exchange insurance. In fact it may be wise to opt out of your employers plan as grandfathered and self-insured plans are exempt. And the best provision is if using the exchange insurance, a person is no longer tied to a job he hates because of the need for health insurance. There are many more.

Those that opt for the exchange insurance plan of the Affordable care Act will be subsidized if wages are $43,560 or below..a family of four $89,400. There is nothing in the plan that mandates annual tests..however many are free for preventive reasons and help quite a bit to bring down the cost of health care...not to mention those that put off seeing a doctor because they have no insurance will now be able to take care of their health and not wait until it is unbearable using the E.R for service.

Minimum services covered: Plans must cover preventive
and primary care, emergency, hospital, physician,
outpatient, maternity and newborn care, pediatric (including
dental and vision), medical/surgical care, prescription
drugs, lab, and mental health and substance abuse,**this is for the exchange insurance

The first year, (2014) consumers who did not have insurance would owe $95, or 1 percent of income, whichever is greater. But the penalty would subsequently rise, reaching $695, or 2 percent of income.

Families who fall below the income-tax filing thresholds would not owe anything. Nor would people who cannot find a policy that costs less than 8 percent of their income, said Sara R. Collins, a vice president at the Commonwealth Fund, an independent nonprofit research group.

Clotho: Maybe but we didn't start it. ;->

Clotho, it's not a culture it's a defence, big difference.

Dogma, my three year old daughter uses that excuse when she hits another child at daycare.

I don't hate them just because, but watching someone burn my flag and then get mad about the burning of fake religious literature is upsetting. Before anyone gets all hurt about my comments, I think all religious lit belongs in the Fiction section of the library. We should pick up and leave the region.

Clotho: Maybe but we didn't start it. ;->

It would appear that the US and British conquests, Puppet Leaders we've placed, and several other 'Nation Building' examples, as well as Oil Hegemony have perhaps been true instigators of the actions taken on the Hate we built by doing Imperialistic things for so many decades had something to do with it.

This doesn't make it OK or right or excusable, but...

Just saying...

There will never be Peace in this World as long as Humans "run" it.

Peace

Dogma Bites you are full of it. We definately did start it, first by supporting Isreal, and then by american attitudes towards Arabs, then by invading, and bombing. Which organization is the most effective terror organization?

Do you have another idea of who or what would run it? We could go back a few thousand years, I suppose, ideal life that was. Actually, much further back, lot of slewing, slaying, rape, pillage, burning to the ground, and salting the Earth, etc. Damn, and I missed it. All God's chillun was running it then. Then Jesus and the boys, man, if things were gonna get better he should have wiggled his nose and made it so. Bottom line, ain't gonna be no Utopia, so get used to it. Peace has a heavy price, paid for by few, and enjoyed by many, (Then the question might arise, "Whose definition of peace").

Charles;

Out of touch with reality much?

As a proud voter northern va red embarrasses va

he the reason va wants to attack womens rights

rights???

Very few Dems will accept the fact that George Bush put all the tracking place in for catching ole Bin.

Just want to ask a question, when the drones were bombing innocents the President was being blamed by people on the right. Yet when he issues the orders to continue the search and ultimately the execution people on the right mention its the SEALS whom conducted the action with no mention of the President. Rationale is very flawed because many are blaming hi for high gas prices when he has no control the EXON CEO said so as did Ben Stein yet you are blaming him for this yet not giving credit for accomplishments.

It would appear that the US and British conquests,

No, Radical Islam was the agressor from 600 AD on. Whomever taught you about their culture didn't understand squat about the middle east. Remember, those towers weren't collapsed because we built them over there. They went to great efforts to bring them down when we weren't really doing anything to them.

dlc---Yet when he issues the orders to continue the search....many are blaming hi for high gas prices when he has no control

when were the issues ever canceled to search for bin laden? tell me. and obama can be blamed for saying we need to get prices near equivalent to europe or whomever he said...look it up for exact quote....which tells me he is not concerned even if he has no control. we shouldn't be driving that far to work or using all that oil...so it's our own fault anyway right?

Hello DB,

Both of our points are valid, and contributory to the rise in "Radical Muslim" activity, however it is too late to lower our guard one iota. Which does play right into the hands of those wishing us harm and willing to act out on it. I do believe that is a very minute percentage of the World Muslim population, though.

I was warned in the eighties by a Jordanian friend of mine in college (I had several Muslim friends of different sects due to the fact I was notsojingo even back then) that we would be targeted due more to Western Governments' infringements and military involvement with Oil Shieks protection than the fact American's are considered Infidels.

Had no idea at the time he was so in the know...

Peace

Dogma, my three year old daughter uses that excuse when she hits another child at daycare.

Maybe you should listen to her.

I like to start my weekend with a good laugh-thank you all!!

These morons that believe that President Obama is a Muslim are completely disconnected from reality.

Now, if we could keep those same people from voting, we'd have something better all over America.

They live in a delusional/fantasy 1960's world with Ward and June Cleaver. How quickly they forget about the reality of the Cold War, Polio, 58,000 dead Americans in Vietnam and uncured diseases that we've since found cures for. Those days will never come back and I am glad. It's 2012 people!

When it comes to destroying Americaa, obama will tolerate NO competition.....

Really Rancher? Because between killing terrorists left and right, saving the auto industry, and ensuring that fewer Americans will die because they can't afford health insurance, I'd say he's done a pretty good job at saving America...

Republicans should go back to attacking women. They've already lost every other argument left.

d-m, you dumb liberals are so out of touch or complete slaves to obuma. he may be your master, but when he is done with you he'll cast you out like anyone else.

Great news....my health insurance just went from $784/month to $1269/month....thanks Obama!

You sure it wasn't the profit-driven insurance company's idea? I mean, it's their price after all...

You can't confuse racist bigots with facts. They kiss the rear of the corporations who exploit them while somehow feeling they are superior because their skin is white. The corporations just laugh at them and their delusional thinking all the way to the bank!

Kool-aid from Uganda

The ONLY problem with Obamacare is that we left the 'CORPORATE' death panels in place because Obama decided he would NOT turn healthcare into a government run program. I agree with that decision. But, I do NOT want some corporate (or government) jerk deciding when and how I will die.

The solution? SINGLE PAYER! Obama needs to make single payer a priority in his second term.

BTW, yes, I said second term. Why? How?

Because there is literally NO competition on the Republican side. Your choices are:

(1) A Wall Street Banker (Romney) who want's to continue favoring the rich at the expense of the middle class,

(2) A religious zealot who wants women to consider RAPE a GIFT (Santorum).

(3) And the always evil Newt Gingrich, who wants to lock-up the country again in deadlock while he dreams of going to the moon, again. These are a truly pitiful lot. . .

I totally read that in Dexter Morgan's voice.

The Bush family and the bin Laden family were good friends and did business together.

The re-election of Bush in 2004 was a gift to Bin Laden; a major recruiting aid. In case we've forgotten, there were a number of messages released by Al Quaida just before the election clearly intended to help the Bush/Cheney scare-up the vote campaign.

Remember how, right after 9/11, all flights were grounded, except those getting every member of the Bin Laden family out of the U.S. Wouldn't the smart thing be to question them first, see what they know?

Please read. Rush is not news.

Wow, that genius John Kerry, he sure would've fixed everything! (Did you hear that he served in Viet Nam?)

Optypus - Where have you been? It's been well known by everyone, left, right , middle, outer space about the Bin Laden family getting special flights out of the US just after 911.

The Bush/Bin Ladens go way back. Do your homework and get your head out of Rush's ass.

Probably more election information to remind us under which presidency OBL was killed.

Kansasfsda- Got a major OCD problem huh? Going around the vine repeating your little childish post, bored are we, in mommy's basement? Ahhhhh to bad so sad!

He's from Kansas and they went with Mr. Assjuice, that should tell you something.

kansas,

You and your kind so funny! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Keep up the inherited thing, pretty soon the 'Dead People' that voted for Obummer will even start to believe... He inherited and just keeps adding to it, in the name of 'inheritance'...

kansasfsdafsdafsadf

Please tell us all some of your conservative povs, as well as how any of these Tea/Republicans running are worth even a little turd pebble, or how they could even begin to be considered as Presidential, whatsoever.

I am sure you have something to enlighten us with. It shows in your style.

Thanks.

notsojingo, I was afraid you fell off the earth. Have not seen you post in a while. Peace and good luck!

Dude, thanks for responding, I was just about to give up and go see what the moving picture machine had on. I went to your sight to write a note but the only way for you to write me is through my daughters e-mail. I am catching on to the innertube machine a little more each day! That old dogs thing is B.S! Well if you get this I will check at 11:30 edt. Double peace to you! What is going on in the world? Crazy stuff every day.

I don't think you people understand Kansas' sarcasm. He should have put quotes around the statement, and little gay press secretary is Obama's Jay Carney who is making the statement. I think.

That old dogs thing is B.S!

LMAO!! That is what keeps me going!! Busy as of late, so just catching back up a bit, but am fried so will catch ya soon, Brother.

Pure BS

And Clinton didn't get him because?????????????????????

GCCal,

“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

He was having cigar problems!

Optomyst,

To busy having his intern taste a Cigar for him... It could have been poison...

Optomyst

Clinton at least tried to get OBL, but he was paralyzed by the Lewinsky non-scandal and there was no public support to wax Biny Boy until 9/11. Also the outgoing Clinton administration did all they could to get Bush and Cheney to take OBL seriously (and the FBI/CIA tried) but they were still fixated on fighting a cold war with the USSR that no longer existed.

Fuel,

Liar, Read your history better, Clinton and his former admin did nothing to help Bush... You need to study more... Did not try to warn him of how serious anything was, took everything they could out of the White House, including some furnishings... Man, if you are gonna quote something get your facts straight... Oh, looks like you are a Blinder Wearing Liberal', doesn't want to learn from facts, just make up your own...

CBurroughs: I have never been a liberal, they don't represent me but the Republican Party left me many years ago--Imagine that the GOP once stood for fiscal responsibility and AVOIDANCE of war! Then the Jesus Freaks of Nature took over the party. (yes I know that is shocking to a child, but true). I was aware of the transition between those two administrations while it was happening and the one thing that stood out was how adamant Clinton was about the dangers of AQ--perhaps that makes me an old man--and you?--still in diapers back then I'm guessing?

Lest we forget, 9/11 happened on Bush's watch.

CBurroughs............Clinton's NSC prepared a detailed memo for Bush warning that bin laden was preparing to attach the US. Condi Rice brought it to Bush's attention during one of his getaways at Crawford. Bush dismissed it and was only interested in how he could he could justify invading Iraq.

CBurroughs FUEL IS SO RIGHT and Mike 430 has done his home work. Richard Clark (served in H's Admin and went straight into Clinton's) a terrorist specialist and report Clinton had for Bush's eyes only concerning Osama Bin Laden was ignored:

"Clarke's main argument—made in his new book, Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on
Terror, in lengthy interviews on CBS's 60 Minutes and PBS's Charlie Rose
Show, and presumably in his testimony scheduled for tomorrow before the
9/11 Commission—is that Bush has done (as Clarke put it on CBS) "a terrible job"
at fighting terrorism. Specifically: In the summer of 2001, Bush did almost
nothing to deal with mounting evidence of an impending al-Qaida attack. Then,
after 9/11, his main response was to attack Iraq, which had nothing to do with
9/11. This move not only distracted us from the real war on terrorism, it fed
into Osama Bin Laden's propaganda—that the United States would invade and occupy
an oil-rich Arab country—and thus served as the rallying cry for new terrorist
recruits."

Good try, Joy....good try....but your boys may just go down.

GCCal - only in your dreams!

Well, Bin Laden clearly did not get the email that Obama was on his side. Shame Rush could not get his show on Al Jazeera....

Actually, the way the purported words of bin Laden are reported seem to indicate that he, at least, accepts Obama's conversion as being legitimate; hence, he is a "reprobate" as any and all Muslims who later accept another religion are.

Muslims have been offing muslims for 1400 years.

They kill each other all the time. Can you spell IRAQ?

They kill there own, look at 911, there were many Muslims that were murder that day. Obama is just a really bad leader, lack for a better word. He thought he was running to be a Celeb, not president of the US.

Hehe,Good post JOE

You mean like the time Bumbles made the statement that during the depression Roosevelt went on t.v. to tell the American people that everything was going to be o.k. when in fact t.v. hadn't even been invented yet?....that kind of knowledge?

You are a funny fella!

Two words: Sarah Palin.

One other: dumbass.

The other two words John McCain! Palin didn't didn't run against Obama.

bubba - and John McCain was the idiot who inflicted Sarah Palin on us! You DO remember that, right?

SeekingSanity:

McCain is not an idiot--just cynical enough to enlist with the vacuous cheerleader that simple conservatives rallied behind.

The Repubs brought in SP to ensure there was NO WAY they would have to deal with the current mess with a Republican POTUS.

It worked, and they are doing it again.

Good evil plan, once again. Those Right Wing Lunes are not stupid, just UnAmerican other than for the 1%. Not that all the Dems are any different, just not as obvious to the masses.

Those were deleted before this article was released.

That's the part that seems silly. This article just appears to be Republican shenanigans to me ... a little chuckle at Joe's expense.

No, because if it were that, then it would say to "eliminate Patreus, Panetta, and Biden, but leave Brother Barrack alone, for as you know, secretly he is still one of us."

Not to worry, FOX News will have a fake document with this BS claim next week once the ink dries.

You MF's are truly amazing! You just make stuff as you go along and believe it like it's reality. All you are expressing is how "f"ing ignorant and hateful you are of the president. NOTHING INTELLIGENT

ScommaG,

Their name was not on any such documents or notes because they were better protected... People like you need to actually take your head out of the toilet, go outside and discover what this Obummer guy is doing to America... Watch alittle of all the news channels, read the paper, and talk to your fellow man...

Four more years of Obummer will really trash the USA... I admit the GOP doesn't have the best to offer, but it has better to offer than four more of this...

So, you'd rather have the internet censored to hell? No porn, user-made content etc? Coupled with tons of other rights issues and a preacherman behind it all? I'll take my independent president even though I am a liberal, especially since obama has done nothing but continued the policies put in place by bush.

ScommaG

4 more years of Obama and he'll hand over the country to the U.N. (one world-one government). He's passed health care reform that will decimate our health care system. The national average for a gallon of gas was a $1.78 when he took office. The stimulus package did nothing but put us further in debt. His Fast and Furious plan to undermine the 2nd amendment armed criminals and kill american citizens (Holder the lying S.O.B. knew). Obama didn't even take the time to visit the victims of the recent tornadoes because he's too busy campaigning, the only thing that matters to him is a second term.

Obama didn't even take the time to visit the victims of the recent tornadoes because he's too busy campaigning

Don't worry about that -- most people around here aren't all that anxious to be part of a photo-op for his re-election videos, or anybody else's for that matter.

CBurroughs

Well, I have stepped out and looked around.....my 401 K is back to where it was prior to the Bush bank give away...3 of my close friends have found full employment equal to what they lost......and as for the gas prices......the 1% oil speculators are raising the price based on the 3 GOP Stooges calling for war with Iran.

I am not happy with everything Obama has put forth.....but the GOP is very frightening and I am a life long Republican.

No budget in over 3 years. Why? How is that properly running a government? Spend, spend.. Solyndra, the volt, the 10 million dollar government prize to invent the most affordable green bulb... the winner $50.00 a bulb? Affordable for who? The 11 million dollar government Detroit dress for success went to 2 people. Odd how you could blame one man for so much, when the democrats ran congress for years. Glad 3 of your friends are doing good, but millions of people are not, even after Obamas trillion dollar not so shovel ready jobs. I see you blame high gas prices on speculators.. I think it would be more appropriate to say O's energy policy is the disaster. He also turned down the pipeline. The way he flies around campaigning in air force 1 is odd as he hates gas so much. He should set an example, use his windmills, solar or his algae and stop wasting our gas. BTW I never heard any of the 3 GOP hopefuls calling for war with Iran? THAT WOULD BE NEWS! Not one of O's energy plans is realistic, the only thing that is real is all the wasted billions hes throw out the window that will have to be paid back for bankrupt companies... So how can you feel so comfortable watching all this insanity spending?

i am conservative republican, no matter who wins to run for president, anyone is way better then obuma. i am for Newt, he can wipe the floor up with obuma, better then ronmey, ron paul, and maybe Sandtroum. why the republicans ar pushing ronmey is beyond me. the dems are hoping for ronmey. obuma and his cronies are so affraid of Newt.

Excuse me.... facts please... I remember the Bin aden terrorist hit the trade center the first time in the 90's. And Clinton retaliated by hitting his pharmacy. George Bush did not take office until Jan 2001. So how can you print such lies as to say Bush & Cheney caused the world to hate America? Your statement makes no sense.In the 90's Bin Laden never heard of George Bush!!

It took our troops 3 years of Obamas term to find Bin Laden, it took another 16 hours for Obama to give the ok. Because of the steps taking by the Bush administration and our dedicated never give up military. So the team work all around got Bin Laden his due! Take off your blinders!
