Who Killed Osama?

Received earlier today from a Vietnam Vet who was passed along the message from another Vet.

Let's be clear "Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American sailor, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did.

In fact, if you remember a little less than two years ago, his administration actually charged and attempted to court martial 3 Navy Seals from Seal Team Six, when a terrorist suspect they captured, complained they had punched him during the take down and bloodied his nose. His administration further commented how brutal they were. The left were calling these SEALS Nazi's and Baby Killers. Now all of a sudden the very brave men they vilified, are now heros when they make his administration look good in the eyes of the public.

Obama just happened to be the one in office when the CIA finally found the SOB and our sailors took him out. Essentially, Obama only gave an answer. Yes or No, to him being taken out (and this is in doubt with the revealing that Panetta gave the order for the Osama mission because of a waffling Obama.) This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!

"Semper Fi"

Speaking of the CIA, Obama gave a speech there, right before the wall of heroes where fallen CIA operatives are noted with a simple star,....no name. However i's still the same CIA that Obama ordered Eric Holder to investigate for torture. It that hypocrotical or what?!?

Congressman Walsh's Response to Obama's El Paso Immigration Speech

Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) has made a video to go with his letter to President Obama, expressing his concern over the President's comments on immigration in El Paso, TX.

In a press release Rep. Walsh says, "For years President Obama has said he is serious about dealing with America's immigration issues, however, yesterday he reinforced the idea that he's not taking the issue seriously by suggesting that the only way to make Republicans happy on the subject is to build 'a moat'."
The letter goes on to urge the president to get serious about the issue of illegal immigration, "If it takes moats and alligators to secure our borders to get you to be serious -- I'm game."

Obama and his Immigration Agenda

Obama's Hypocritical Rhetoric on Immigration Reform - Townhall Columnist, Michael Barone's take on Obama's recent speech in El Paso, Texas.

Barack Obama's immigration speech in El Paso May 10 was an exercise in electioneering and hypocrisy. Hypocrisy because while Obama complained about "politicians" blocking comprehensive immigration bills, he was one of them himself.

In 2007, when such a bill was backed by a lame duck Republican president and had bipartisan backing from Senate heavyweights Edward Kennedy and Jon Kyl, Sen. Obama voted for union-backed amendments that Kennedy and Kyl opposed as bill-killers.

In 2009 and 2010, President Obama acquiesced in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to pass cap-and-trade and bypass immigration and in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's decision not to bring an immigration bill to the floor.

Both times the votes were probably there to pass a bill. Obama did not lift a finger to help.

But that did not stop the president who is constantly calling for civility to heap scorn on those who seek stronger enforcement. "They'll want a higher fence. Maybe they'll need a moat," he said to laughter from the largely Latino audience. "Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat. They'll never be satisfied."

Cowboy's comment: Unbelievable! You want to satifsy us?? ENFORCE THE LAW!!

Was that (Obama's comments) on the teleprompter, or was it ad-libbed? In either case, Obama was showing his contempt for those who bitterly cling to the idea that the law should be enforced.

Cowboy's comment: Obama's arrogance showing true again.

That's no way to assemble the bipartisan coalition necessary to pass an immigration bill.

It's obvious that nothing like the legalization (opponents say "amnesty") provisions considered in 2007 can pass in this Congress. They can never pass the Republican House, where Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith is a longstanding opponent and Speaker John Boehner will not schedule a bill not approved in committee.

Nor will this Congress pass the most attractive proposal Obama mentioned, the Dream Act, providing a path to legalization for those brought in illegally as children who enroll in college or serve in the military. That failed last December in a more Democratic Senate and won't pass now.

Some new approach is needed, and Obama did little to point the way. One idea, advanced by a bipartisan Brookings Institution panel, is a bill that would strengthen enforcement and would shift the U.S. away from low-skill and toward high-skill immigration.

Canada and Australia have done this to their great benefit. And with a sluggish economy it makes little sense, as current law does, to give preference to low-skill siblings of minimum wage workers rather than to engineering and science Ph.D.s. We need more job creators, not more job seekers.
