They are terrified. John McGramps was bawling about it - how dare Obama politicize a moment that brought the country together - remember though Cheney claimed credit because he knew that was the 2012 election right there.

Check out Lawrence Wilkerson's great line on Ed Shultz program.
He said ReTHUGS made 9/11 their raison d'être . It is hilarious.

The image is of a drowning person wildly thrashing about trying to find something to keep afloat with, madly grasping even a wisp of straw which is plainly incapable of doing the job.

Republicans are desperate. I wonder how it feels that their Shrub never found Bin Laden. They searched him here, they searched him there, they searched him everywhere and they still couldn't find. Obama did.

9/11 disaster as a political plus. NO way. Plus he did not use Bin Ladin the way rethugs did all during the booosh years as a fear factor. Instead President Obama was addressing something Romney said about Bin Ladin. There is a big difference.

I mean, why would you not celebrate the one year anniversary of our snuffing out the criminal Bin Laden? Gee, I think Allen West has fingered the wrong group as "communists."

Joking aside, I really do believe the Republicans are traitors. They cheer for our President to fail, let our sick die without healthcare, cut out children's schools' funding until they wither in disrepair, ship our jobs oversees, and with Citizens United, created secret donor Super Pacs so foreigners can buy our elections, no questions asked. They impoverished out country and cost us thousands of lives by lying us into a useless war. I could go on, and on...
