    Gee a politician that made a decision REGARDLESS of the risk to his position. that's not being more concerned about his image, its about being more concerned about the objective.

    As for a politcian more concerned with his image, I don't recall Mitt saying a blessed word about the troops and his coming out party last week. didn't mention what he'd do different. But he did manage to rattle his teeny tiny sabre at Iran.

    the right just can't stomach the fact that Obama actually has a giant pair.

    Why should we waste our time addressing a "point" that has nothing to do with what Clinton said? He was referring only to the political cost to Obama if he sent the SEALs in there and it was a disaster - not the personal cost to the SEALs and their families if it went wrong.

    Obama took a huge risk - both politically and with the lives of the SEALs - in making the decision to send them in after bin Laden. Cons keep saying "Oh, Bush and Romney would have done the same thing" but they would never have had the opportunity to make the decision one way or another because neither of them thought it was worthwhile to keep looking for him and they've both said so publicly out of their own mouths.

    IMHO, the "real point" of this thread as Cons see it is bogus and not worth the band space to "discuss" it.

    Yes - the SEALs who killed him. Are you accusing the SEAL who just wrote the book about the raid of lying?

    Listen up bucko. I think we should just go ahead and do it. They want a war, that's obvious. Do unto others as they would do unto you.

    I don't need to think about it. The Iranian people have the government they deserve, and we will be happy to show them the consequences of that decision.

    Actually there was a disaster.

    We lost a top secret stealth helicopter that our enemies in China were able to study.

    Obama risked nothing by sending in the Seals because the lib news media would ignore or explain away anything that might have gone wrong for Der Black Fuhrer.

    The people who control Der Black Fuhrer, are, collectively, Der Black (not as in negro but as in morally absent) Big Corporation.

    Here's a second thought for you. If the Russians weren't a paper tiger, then why isn't Saddam still in power? That was their equipment we demolished in 100 hours you know.

    I think some corporations support Obama but none really control him unless it's George Soros.

    Are you really comparing releasing a name to being more worried about Obama's image then our boys possibly dying???

    Maybe President Obama didn't send in the Seals because the mission had a very poor chance of success. How come you can castigate Obama for not worrying about the lives and safety of Seal team members and then turn around and encourage him to throw their lives away? Talk about being inconsistent! As for the liberal media forgiving any screw-ups, how well did that work for Jimmy Carter after the Iran raid melted down?

    That woman spoke the perfect word about the Democratic party...."disgusting" And more and more people are starting to realize it. My best friend is a liberal who voted for Obama last time...not only is she not voting for Obama this time, but she is voting for Romney. After the convention she realized the difference in character of these two men, and what exactly that means for this country. She's is not proud of the division this president has caused in this country....in her words..."it's shocking and disgusting"

    Obama is WORRIED ABOUT THE LIVES OF OUR SOLDIERS??? Really? Let's talk about the leaks while we're here, shall we? Those were released to make Obama look good, and no one wants to help him look good....more than HIMSELF. That's why there is this ad as well. And, do you know what I find the most striking about this ad even existing?....it's that Obama probably didn't even see anything wrong in what Bill said...he actually thought Bill was complementing him. Any sane person who actually CARED ABOUT THE LIVES OF SOLDIERS would have said....now wait a minute....I wasn't worried about how I looked. Obama missed it, because he was sitting there listening to Bill saying "yeah you go Bill" Stupid idiot that he is.

    You make the case that Obama was worried about his political reputation not the lives of the Seals.

    Particularly since he didn't have to tell the world that the Navy Seals killed bin Laden.

    That was supposed to remain a secret.

    Why on Earth would anyone have kept the fact that Navy SEALs killed OBL a secret? Their names were supposed to remain secret, but Fox News outed one member.

    While I understand the mother's grief, Clinton said nothing wrong. It would have been a tragedy if those SEALS had been captured or killed. That's all he said.

    There is not a shred of decency to be found in the left, evidenced yet again with this ad.

    Jimmy Carter's mistake (in the media's eyes) was being born a southerner. The liberal media is highly prejudiced.

    Suck it up. Whining and insults don't change the fact that Obama was responsible for sending the SEALs in to get bin Laden when our last president made the public statement way back in his presidency that he didn't know where bin Laden was and didn't think much about him any more and the 2012 Repub candidate said he didn't think it was worth spending money on to try to get him. I guess Bush and Romney weren't nearly as outraged by the attack on our country as Obama was since they were both willing to let him go free. lmao!

    It's truly the height of narcissism.... their image is more important in their screwed up minds than our SEALS lives.

    You know what the real truth is HB? Many of us already knew this about them, of being valueless pieces of (*)(*)(*)(*), pitching their failed ideologies as some sort of warped gain to society for decades. Now....everyone sees them for what they really are.

    Fox News, publicly displaying Mark Owen's real name, putting the decorated Navy Seal's life in danger.

    Great job, that's real support for the troops.

    Did Obama put his name out there?

    Was killing Osama Bin Laden something that made our nation safer? Yes, yes it was, that's called strategic use of military force.
