Bin Laden death brings lots of praise on Fox News, not so much for Obama
May 2, 2011 | 4:29 am
A couple of hours into television coverage of the death of Osama bin Laden, commentators rightly congratulated a host of winners: the U.S. military, intelligence officials, the victims of the 9/11 attacks and their families.

But on Fox News, at least, credit was faint, at best, for one other individual: President Obama.

The conservative cable outlet quoted a string of former Republican officials who seemed unaware, or unwilling to acknowledge, that the commander in chief had ordered the mission that took out the world's most wanted man, with no American casualties.

Stephen Hadley, President George W. Bush's assistant for national security, told Fox the successful mission by U.S. forces was a "great moment" for the military, intelligence officials and Muslims who had been victimized by Bin Laden.

5. Maybe they should credit John McCain
In the 2008 election, he said he knew how to get Bin Laden. Thank goodness he FINALLY shared that information with the Obama Administration.

:sarcasm:
