John McCain: Obama Playing Politics With Anniversary Of Bin Laden's Death
Source: huffingtonpost
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who lost the 2008 presidential election to Barack Obama, harshly criticized him for politicizing the death of Osama bin Laden, which he called the "height of hypocrisy."
"Shame on Barack Obama for diminishing the memory of September 11th and the killing of Osama bin Laden by turning it into a cheap political attack ad. This is the same President who once criticized Hillary Clinton for invoking bin Laden 'to score political points,'" he said in a statement.

Oh how bitter, This would be a national holiday if Repigs got him,
a ticker tape parade, commemorative coins, QVC Bush plate collection,
and this would have been a Halliburton no contract/contract to add Bush's
head to Mt. Rushmore.

(1,499 posts)- McCain posturing with OBL while OBL was still alive, during the 2008 Presidential debates. Said he would find OBL and take him out, cause he knew where OBL was hiding.
That's playing politics, John.

(8,244 posts)being tough on terrorism, being a strong leader, not a wimp, all that stuff. The GOP can't stand it.
Romney has no foreign policy or military experience so they had to ask McCain to take a couple shots at the President on the foreign policy/defense stuff.
Lame.

I guarantee you John McCain would be taking to the Senate well today to remember the event, had the mission been a failure. He'd make plenty of political hay tying Obama to the failure...just like Republicans did to Carter when plan to free the Iran hostages ended with helicopter equipment failure.
I think the victims of 9/11 would be quite happy to have OBL's demise remembered...and we should also remember the spectacular failure of the prior administration and their criminal disregard of the intel that caught them unprepared on 9/11 - because you know damn well Republicans would be demanding such a remembrance had it been a Democratic administration asleep at the wheel on 9/11/01.

(23,149 posts)This bullshit is coming from the so-called party that actually misspelled Barack's last name ON MANY OCCASIONS to confuse and associate him with a cheap terrorist thug who Obama was ultimately able to crush under his heel like a worthless mid-eastern cigarette.
Created more jobs in America in his first 3 years than bush did in 8.
Gave us universal health care that works. Proven in numerous studies.
Killed Osama bin Laden, a fake terrorist created by the far right in America. (God they hate that.)
Pulled our economy out of a nose-dive created by THEIR party and has it on a course to success, in a very realistic way.
Remember, fellow Democratic Party members, every time they mention Osama bin Laden, it reminds America of the moment when Obama wiped him off the map. Remember that!

Oh, and if the mission had gone bad, I'm sure they wouldn't mention it. lol
