Liberals love America when they elect a guy they think is going to give away the store to them. How is that working out for you nowdays?

[willgmcc]

@rmcnyc Great so far!

The Soviet hymn would have been more fitting in this situation.

[willgmcc]

@maybrook1 So... a public celebration of democracy is like a single-party dictatorship? I fail to see the connection, please explain.

[sarahalm]

Yep, that's right Mrs. Palin. Liberals love America too.

[leotheguido]

Yes, patriotism is here.

@rmcnyc It was Bush who de-prioritized the CIA's search for bin Laden in late 2005 and said catching “bin Laden doesn’t fit with the administration’s strategy for combating terrorism” and it was “not a top priority use of American resources.”

So while Bush undoubtedly contributed intelligence, he clearly wasn't very serious about getting it done. Obama was, making it a campaign pledge, and he made good on that.

@rmcnyc At list it is better than what bush gave us for 8 years

[rmcnyc]

I wholeheartedly congratulate the President for this wonderful victory, but let's remember the intelligence came from policies set in place by the Bush administration, policies that Obama and his far-left colleagues bashed and attempted to sabotage at every turn. Yes, he would likely win if the election were tomorrow, but the same was true for both Bushes following their individual high points.

@rmcnyc he gave away the store but he gave the order for Bin Laden's hopefully painful demise. If the 2012 elections were tomorrow Obama would get a second term

@maybrook1

you don't have a friggin idea about socialism!

Obama is trying to implement a health insurance comparable to ours in Germany and you call that communism???

Are you saying that Germany is a communist country?

They do it just as often everywhere else. But redneck America says they're the only ones. (Trust me I'm from Oklahoma)
