A couple of things.
Why deserve an 'atta boy'? Because he is the current commander in chief. He refocused the US efforts to Afghanistan & Pakistan, instead of dicking around in Iraq. He authorized the attack on Bin Laden's compound.
I mean, I'd buy the guy that pulled the trigger a beer first, but I wouldn't follow it with a kick to Obama's face.
Can we not, as a country, just fucking be happy together for once? Do we have to divide the country with this type of petty bullshit?
To me, this country is a complete reverse of where it was shortly after Septemeber 11th. Right wingers are the new Cindy Shehans. You hate your commander in chief so much that absolutely
nothing they do deserves anything but contempt. To me, you're no patriot if you hate the President of the United States so much that you can't just celebrate shit like this. I said it to liberals when they were less than overjoyed when Saddam Hussein was killed. Now it's conservatives that would rather see America fail than to give the President any credit for anything positive.
This is the same guy that many of you were saying was going to be such a foreign affairs pussy that surely we were going to have the Taliban headquartered here in the US. Fuck that. He just finished what we never could under Bush. Take out Public Enemy #1. The man most responsible for 9/11. That deserves praise.
As for being pissed that his body was disposed of within 24 hours because it adhered to Muslim standards, first of all, they're not happy with the fact that he was buried at sea, and secondly, while it's cute to say we should have wrapped him in bacon and fed him to pigs, that is not the message we want to send. This is taking care of business. Anything more flagrant would be no better than Al Queda themselves. And we're an actual country, not a terrorist organization. If that's the standard you want to be held to, join the American equivalent, the Westboro Baptist Church.
