Obama pokes Romney on bin Laden raid

WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama Monday questioned whether his foe Mitt Romney would have taken out Osama bin Laden, but denied indulging in “excessive celebration” over the terror leader’s death.

Obama personally stepped into a fierce election-year row sparked by the anniversary of bin Laden’s death in a raid in Pakistan by US special forces, in a sharp, implicit criticism of his presumptive Republican White House rival.

“I said that I would go after bin Laden if we had a clear shot at him and I did it,” a steely Obama said in a White House press conference, taking place on the eve of the anniversary of the US Navy SEAL raid which killed bin Laden.

“If there are others who said one thing and now suggest they would do something else, I would let them explain it,” Obama said.

a shit sandwich is one of the joys of my (unemployed) life currently.

“If there are others who said one thing and now suggest they would do something else, I would let them explain it,” Obama said.

How's that shit sandwich taste right about now, eh Mitt? You and your fascist friends can dish it out but you can't take it.
