1. well...
failure can be shared... Clinton missed out on UBL, Shrub missed out for 7+ years... and Obama has missed out for 2 years.

Not a big deal, IMO... one nutbag who may or may not be alive motivating a nation of 300 million people to pour our wealth and blood into the sand. Ridiculous.

19. Yes, but the reason Clinton did not kill bin Laden was the republicans.
If you remember, the first time he went after him, the CIA gave co-ordinates. Bin Laden escaped just in time and the bombing failed. The second time he had him in our sights, he had to ask the republican majority in congress for permission for the bombing run. They refused, because they said it was a diversion to the attack they were making on him about the impeachment. Bin Laden got away. And the many times Bush COULD have went after him but said he wasn't concerned. SO HOW COME THAT IS NOW OBAMA'S FAULT. He has had a little of a year and a half and Bush had 7 years. Gee impressive, republicans must think Obama is a miracle worker. They think he should have improved Bushs mess of an economy. Re-invent all the jobs Bush lost. AND NOW HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN BIN LADEN WHO BUSH DIDN'T EVEN GO AFTER.

5. 1 year, 7.5 month. Not even half way through his first term yet.
CNN can SUCK IT! The MSM has been bought out by Rupert Murdoch.

7. No one asked Dumbya that in eight years. No one.
Obama's had the chair for less than two years.

8. I don't recall them EVER asking Bush that question. Obama should have responded with a question,
Edited on Fri Sep-10-10 11:21 AM by Phx_Dem
"How does it feel to be so utterly incompetent in your job that, during this time of a sluggish economy, a war in Afganistan, progress in Iraq, and peace talks between Isrealis and Palestinians, just to name a few, that you can't come up with a single question that would serve to inform your viewers about domestic or global events?"

CNN = epic fail

9. That would be good.

The media should be held accountable.


And include "Do you have proof that bin Laden is still alive or a threat?"

18. Exactly. The media are nothing more than "pot stirers."
They ceased being informative years ago.

13. Why have the not asked McCain that question
He is the one who two years ago said he knew how to get him.

Is he unpatriotic or was he wrong? In his hundreds of appearances he has yet to be asked about his campaign statement.

15. bin Laden is NOT in Afghanistan!
Obama escalated the war in Afghanistan because he is fighting the Taliban, rather than bin Laden who is hiding in Pakistan.

To get bin Laden, one has to avoid the military answer. The way Israel went after the Munich Massacre masterminds is the way we should have gone after bin Laden.

16. Obama should have just said that we can't even be sure Bin Laden still lives.
Wasn't the guy in need of constant kidney dialysis?
