"Any President [could have taken out bin Laden], Mr. Romney? Really?"

Oh. Wait. I remember now: Your five stapping sons have "served in their own way."

Imbecile!

3. Oh for fuck's sake, Mittens never heard of bin Laden cornered in Torra Bora?!?!

Instead trying to flush him out, the Bushinistas told special forces to stand down. Shockingly bin Laden got away, and the Neo-con's got the excuse to get their war on in Iraq.

I fucking hate these (re-pugs) people.

7. Bush gets the credit

Since Obama has been in office,everything and anything positive happens on Obams watch,is due to the Bush/Cheney and the previous republican adminiastartion before Him,anything negative that happens is the fault of Obama,orthe previous Democratic admin before him.
Simple explanation,by simple minded hatefull biggoted Intollerant Republicans who call themself Christian, who hates Obama like poisin with a passion, and also hates every breath he takes

Last edited Thu Dec 22, 2011, 09:24 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

...and has a very different meaning from what Mittens really said.
Actually, it's worse the way Mittens said it.

You wrote - "Any President (could have taken out bin Laden)..."

Mittens said "any president would have done that."

I'm sure Bush "could" have taken out bin Laden, if he wanted to, but he didn't want to.
So he didn't.

Which is, of course, the online home of the Detroit Free Press.

14. Is there an article about this...

...on the Detroit Free Press?

Did said article use the word "could" or the word "would"?
Mittens said "would."
Dubya decided he "wouldn't" even if he "could" have.
Big difference!
Because we all know that he "could" have, when bin Laden was in Tora Bora...

17. Actually, that's not parsing, that's correcting...

Romney said would.
The OP said could.
Those are two different words with different meanings.
I come from a family of editors.
I noticed that Mittens used a different word than the OP did, and it changes the meaning of the statement.

I certainly don't think the OP was trying to spin or be dishonest or anything like that.
But I do think that in the context of what was being said, would actually made Mittenses statement a dumber statement than if he had said could.

All right. I'm done now...

19. and he even has the nerve to say

"I served my church", as if that's equal to someone picking up arms, leaving their
families to go serve their country.

Any president would have done that? Bush didn't and he had ample opportunity to do so.
