The Bin Laden Card

[Mr. Sandman]

With a couple exceptions, I lean to the right rather strongly. But I think that Obama's best accomplishment was the handling of the pirates. That is how you play the Comander-in-Chief game. As for Osama, he was following thru on stuff that was in the works for years. There was no way he could do anything else.. Make no mistake, I am glad they got that sumbitch and I give Obama credit for following thru but he by no means would have put all this in motion.

The pirate issue he delt with swiftly and appropriately. I applaud his leadership there.
But I think he will loose on the economic meltdown and the excessive deficit spending issues...too many people are hurting, and they are the people who voted for him.

When he was vacationing over the summer, a businessman friend was invited to a private session with him (20 local businessmen met with him at the home of a billionaire who donated a million to his campaign). My friend is further to the right than I am. He was uncomfortable initially but got to ask him several direct questions. All I can say is that my friend is still a republican.
Obama's biggest fear: not the economy....it is Pakistan.

That is a real threat...
given his track record with these things, I'd prefer Obama to the alternatives right now....

RIJ nailed it.
if the OBL mission failed, he would have had ZERO chance of winning reelection, and I think he had to have known that, and made the call anyways...
