Well, Obama just did what was expected, no big fanfare, no fighter planes flying, just get the job done. Obama the president I voted for, Bush the one I voted against four times, useless.

There was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq until after Bush invaded the country, toppling Saddam Hussein -- who had no WMD and was no threat.

Al-Qaeda filled that vacuum created by Bush. Today it goes by the name ISIS.

a job well done, President Bush

thank you for totally destabilizing the region; thank you for the horror

from a couple of years ago, Martin Sheen defending the president and taking on the Tea Party obstructionists:


The actor pointed his finger squarely at Republicans for Obama's problems, arguing that they have been an unprecedentedly obstructionist congress, especially since the 2010 mid-term elections.

“It’s been fighting tooth and nail to get anything on the table with these morons,” Sheen groused, adding that the GOP is being directed by the Tea Party, which he called “the professional against-ers who are really to be identified as radical extremists who have no agenda and no purpose.”

-snip-

“I cannot begin to tell you how encouraging and refreshing the Occupy Movement is to us old-timers, because it came about from a totally new, unconnected generation to us. It came of its own volition, dealing with its own issues. This message that, ‘we are divided in a lot of very fundamental ways. There’s the 1 percent and the 99.’ That is on the agenda now. That cannot be erased.

President Obama got Osama. Bush in years did not manage that! But then he didn't want to. Wanted Osama as the bogeyman and excuse for endless wars.

After 9-11, regular air traffic over America was closed except for some 'special' people; Bush's Saudi friends and the relatives of bin Laden. How did Bush know that they needed safe passage out of America?

As long as there are people in the US that care about real freedom and a say in their government.

Let's also keep this up front as long as the thieves and liars who robbed us of our freedoms are allowed to strut pretending they were heroes or tough guys.

Let's make sure that the children (and their children) of these thieves and liars always remember what these people did to other countries, their own country, the liberties that we part of our constitution. Le'ts make sure that they realize how many innocent civilians were killed by the Bush family.

Let's make sure that these names live in infamy: GWBush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Feith, etc. And let's hope that their progeny gets to read a real history of the crimes that were perpetrated.
