Bush Aide (Card): Obama Has 'Pounded His Chest A Little Too Much' Over Bin Laden

[kpete]

In an interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel, Card said that Obama has "pounded his chest" too much over the death of Osama bin Laden, particularly by going to Ground Zero earlier this week, the site of the 9/11 attacks.

"I think he has pounded his chest a little too much," Card said. "He can take pride in it, but he does not need to show it so much."

3. Hey Andrew, we all know that you and Dumbya would have

called for a national holiday if OBL had been killed on Bush's* watch.

4. If I had been Chief of Staff to the man

who strutted around in a flight suit, I would keep my mouth shut.

Rummy let bin Laden walk @ Toro Bora.

8. At least he didn't use the word "uppity".

Cause that's what he means in dog whistle terms.

16. Ding! We have a winner.

I don't understand why Card and others who say things like this don't realize how transparent their motives are. Maybe they just don't care.

9. He didn't pound his chest at all. And he silently helped lay a wreath in Manhattan.

and met with family members of victims privately.

10. Well, granted it isn't as somber and dour as flying out to a carrier....

....and flying giant "mission accomplished" banners, but that just how Obama rolls.

[PCIntern]

11. Fuck that shit, man...

he's officially added to my list of people I would approach on the street and loudly tell him to his face what a dickhead he is.

FWIW...which ain't much I guess...

12. Live With It, Asshole. (n/t)

13. Not like riding in a jet landing on a carrier and strutting a codpiece!1 n/t

[Yon_Yonson]

14. The bush administration sure had their share of VILLAGE IDIOTS!

[Zoeisright]

15. Wow, what projection.

This coming from an asshole whose creepy boss landed on an aircraft carrier in the biggest fake showing of undeserved chest-pounding this side of Atilla the Hun.

[sendero]

17. When he dresses up like a paratrooper..

.. and stands on an aircraft carrier under a banner reading "Mission Accomplished", when in fact nothing was accomplished, you let me know m'kay?

[ThatPoetGuy]

18. Get me a cheesburger, Andy. nt

[Zambero]

19. Card would have been spot-on, provided...

Obama had instead landed on a U.S. military aircraft carrier with full flight suit, a head replica of ObL in hand (replaces helmet), much pomp and ceremony with "Hail to the Chief", and a large unfurled banner in the background that reads" "Fishin' Accomplished", for catching the world's foremost terror fish and relocating him to neutral waters. And of course, this spectacle would have just been the "warm up" for numerous victory laps and polarizing events to be staged in the weeks and months ahead.

20. Obama accomplished the mission.

No gigantic propaganda banners needed, no macho strutting around in unearned jet-fighter uniform/costume. When the Repubs put on an obscene, staged show it's just fine. When the black man lays a wreath, briefly visits first responders and 9/11 families he's "pounding his chest". Gorilla reference duly noted.

21. Any at all would be too much for them ... LMAO

"WAAAH!! No fair!!"


The entire GOP can see the 2012 election from their front porch. :rofl:
