Not that tonight's Bin Laden announcement should have to be about politics but...
I have noticed, as many of you on FB and other social networks may have also seen, a lot of Republicans coming out of the woodwork trying to say this is Bush's victory and trying to assign credit to him for this.

I have been responding like this:

Obama set the plans in motion months ago and gave the order that did this last week. Bush had his shot at Tora Bora and had the military stand down. THIS, is Bush's legacy when it comes to capturing Osama Bin Laden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRY_BOYeySc

Read it and weep.


Feel free to do the same but tonight, no way in hell am I letting them get away with spreading misinformation to pretend to own this victory. I have been all over Obama about a variety of different things he has done policy wise that I have disagreed with but that in NO WAY compromises my ability to congratulate the President on a job well done.

2. Not surprised at all actually..
But willing to fight back and bring it to them so they don't win this narrative.
