No Matter What Obama Accomplishes. Fox News Will not Give him any Credit huh? Even getting Bin Laden?
Tonight . Fox News is Relentlessly attacking The President and His wife for going to Ground Zero on Thursday. Sean Hannity Called Barack Obama " Disgusting" then accused him of " Capitalizing " On getting Bin Laden. How is that disgusting? When Saddam Hussein went down. Fox news acted like it was New Years Eve for Weeks after. Obama gets Bin Laden and this is how they act? Accusing him of taking all of the credit? How is that Possible when in the speech he gave Sunday night, announcing the United States got Bin Laden, he Credited Bush. Even said the details of the conversation the two shared. What is going on here literally? So should he have gone on TV, Discredited himself, Credited bush. Said he would not visit ground Zero. Because he does not want people to confuse it with a victory speech? This stuff on this network is crazy. The lengths they will go to attack the man is really a sight to see. Less than 1 day after the News of Bin Laden, The network is back to Using Insults again, calling Our president " Weak, Slow, Indecisive". All these names repeated every few seconds. Meanwhile talking about crimes he broke in the process of getting Bin Laden. Is this they way they would have reacted to Bush getting Bin Laden? Atleast the President Didn't show up on TV with a Pilot's Uniform on? And a Banner behind his head during his speech huh?

The people on here saying Bush should get credit are humorous! Wow, you guys are soooo bitter, you can't give Obama credit for ANYTHING. I got news for you: Your boy Bush spent 7 years chasing after the wrong guy (Saddam) and the wrong country (Iraq) and wasn't even concerned with OBL. He said it himself in the white house press room. Don't believe me? I'm just a lib right? Well here are his own words in 2002:

Yeah Bush sounded like he was hot on OBL's trail in that clip huh? Look, I know it's hard for some of you to swallow, but you gotta face the facts. OBAMA DID IN 2 YEARS WHAT BUSH COULDN'T DO IN 7 AND A HALF. Grow up, get some balls, and give the man credit where credit is due. Stop acting like whiny little babies haha
On disgusting and capitalizing-- I sort of agree, (he hasn't been there since he was elected)
Saddam Hussein- yes we did, along with Bin Laden,
Credit where credit is due-- It was the Bush policies that, in the end, led us to Bin Laden...
And, well, Herman Cain said it good "One great decision a great president doth not make"
They did compliment and congratulate the President, and if you'd watch the actual show instead of sound bites and other stuff, you'd know that. And a Banner behind his head during his speech huh? President Bush didn't realize the banner was there..
And yes, they probably would if they felt Bush was politicizing it...
I'll give you an example. Let's say I'm a billionaire. I pick an impoverished neighborhood to ... "help." Nice, right? Let's say I meet with locals to find out their needs. The next thing you know, I'm writing checks $3,000 for this family for a new furnace and AC, $4,000 for that family for a new roof, $10,000 for the next family to help out with medical expenses, and so on.
Now ... WHO could find fault with this, right? It's a NICE GESTURE, right?
But what if you found out that I made the people come to my house to do house and yard work for the money? What if you found out that I made them sign statements as to how wonderful I am? What if you found out that I made them appear in videos saying how great I am? What if you found out that I tried to sleep with several of the neighborhood women in exchange for financial assistance?
Now ... is what I did ... nice?
See ... clearly every Conservative in the nation is THRILLED at the idea of Bin Laden being killed. IF this operation went down the way we're being told then ... awesome, praise God! But as a Conservative, I DO have a series of heartfelt, completely unpartisan concerns. IF you can step out of your partisan blindness for a second and hear me out, I'll give you legitimate examples. Fair enough?
1. Some people are charging some sort of conspiracy. Yes, I know, there's ALWAYS conspiracy buffs on the case! Kennedy, 9/11, etc. But we can't say that just because people invent and imagine conspiracies that no conspiracy is ever true, right? The Obama administration made a claim of a late-night raid that killed Bin Laden. But ... there's no photos, no body, no proof of anything!
People are saying that the man could have died 4 years ago and they just confirmed it and made up the raid to grab the credit. Listen to Obama's own words. All he says is that they won't ever see Bin Laden again. LOL! Okay ... again, if he was killed a couple of days ago or a couple of years ago that statement would be just as true!
2. America's government is supposed to be OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, and BY THE PEOPLE. The idea is that they REPRESENT US. I frankly don't know any American who doesn't want PROOF of Bin Laden's death in that raid. There is surely lots and lots of video and still photographs! MY GOVERNMENT made this claim of a kill in America's name. WE paid for that raid! We have a right to see proof!
3. They've supposedly known about Bin Laden's whereabouts for almost a year. That's a long time to prepare! But ... they hastily tried to get a country or two to take his body and then quickly seemingly on the spur of the moment decided to bury him at sea? WHAT?!?!?!? This could be the biggest international kill in the last 50 years and they ditch the body at sea just a few short hours after his supposed death in the raid?
There are no legitimate concerns over that?
Now for some of the criticism on Obama's actions.
A) He did seem almost shameless in releasing the photos showing them monitoring the raid as it went down. Then the late-night statement in which he made it PLAIN that HE AUTHORIZED the raid.
B) He's never been to ground zero!!! There have been 2 anniversaries of 9/11 since he took office, but he suddenly needs to be there right now? And no one should even question the motivation?
Look ... politicians are glory hounds! They ALL deflect their mistakes, denying, blaming others, etc. And they all exploit people, events, and so on for their own good. Yes, Hannity and Limbaugh and others are partisan in their attacks. I hate that as much as anyone! I want to keep ALL politicians honest! If all someone cares about is the "other" party's guys, you seem ... disingenuous.
But there are a series of bothersome post-raid questions. As is always the case with this administration, every answer leads to 3 more questions.
Obama STILL gets the credit for the kill, assuming there was a kill. But again, there story has changed like every 6 minutes over the past few days! Osama was armed. He wasn't armed. He resisted. He didn't resist. He looked like he might resist. He used a woman for a human shield. He didn't use a woman as a human shield. And on ... and on.
Maybe I as a private citizen wouldn't ask the questions the same way Fox News does. But go over to MSNBC and listen to the fact that they aren't asking ANY questions! Listen to the fact that they are running Obama's 2012 re-election campaign and ... maybe ... you'll appreciate Fox News a little more.
I mean ... given the choice between a press that does not cover, but rather covers up, or a press that muck rakes and finds fault with everything ... which one are you choosing?
I believe you listened to Fox News with Liberal ears again! I understand its hard for people to listen to facts rather then listening to a bunch of people twisting the news to fit their agenda.. I also understand when you grow up listening to Liberals handing out lolly pops and candy to those that will follow them its very hard to hear the true facts with no free entitlements for you to enjoy.. But maybe put down those Liberal ears and try hard to listen to the hard facts rather then always having to be in a circus atmosphere to keep your attention. You might learn something important.. Now go back to school and get your Liberal teachers view on this so you have something to say tomorrow..
Oh and BTW to the guy who says Limbaugh??? Just so you don't look stupid again.. Limbaugh is NOT on Fox news... He is NOT a NEWS commentator, he has an opinion show for entertainment..
One more note.. Obama has NO RIGHT at Ground Zero... If you look at it .. in Obamas own words.. This is like slamming a football after a touchdown... Think about it in football terms... A team, the entire team fights for 3 1/2 quarters driving up and down the field.. Then in the last minute of a game the QB throws a 70 yard pass right in the hands of a Receiver standing all alone in the end zone.. That Receiver slams the ball, dances and starts to take victory laps around the field listening to all the applause and acting as if he alone won the game.. After the game that same Receiver is the one who all the sportscasters run to as he tells the story how he won the game forgetting all the linemen who blocked, the QB who threw the ball, the defensive squad who kept the game close and the coaches.. THIS is EXACTLY what Obama is doing! The killing of OBL took 10 years, and Obama was the Receiver in the end zone... Yes.. Nice catch Mr Obama, but the credit goes to the TEAM and their coaches.. Honestly?... I hope he gets booed.. and hears the chants BUSH BUSH BUSH... After all Bush took alot of criticism for the very steps it took to take OBL down..
Bush landed on a MILITARY CARRIER, flown in on a MILITARY PLANE, to HONOR the troops for a JOB WELL DONE.. He WAS the COMMANDER IN CHIEF.. I would say he dressed appropriately to show respect for HIS troops.. After all he WAS a pilot in the military.... unlike reported in the Liberal NEWS in which many people got FIRED over for YOUR LIBERAL NEWS NOT reporting the TRUE facts and fabricating a PHONY story with FAKE documents that Bush wasn't even in the military..
Seriously? It's Fox News, you should know better than to watch that...it is so obviously Republican and anti-Obama that any moron could figure out "hey, these guys are biased" within a couple of minutes.
They conduct themselves unprofessionally, joking about killing the PRESIDENT and acting like it's a big joke. They constantly abuse interviews as a means of hounding and attacking Democratic peoples while painting them as the bad guys.
I mean, that slogan "fair and honest" or whatever bs that is, is just horseshi.
Even if you are Conservative, you should have the decency and integrity of watching the news in a non-biased way instead of willingly exposing yourself to that kind of behavior, that way you can take the news for what it actually is instead of it first being churned through a meat-grinder of bias and hate towards the president.
