David Koch Gives President Obama Zero Credit for Bin Laden’s Death
5/5/11 at 1:25 PM

Considering the stark partisan divide over the amount of credit President Obama deserves for the death of Osama bin Laden, it should probably not come as a surprise that billionaire David Koch, a rabidly anti-Obama conservative activist, isn't ready to throw any praise Obama’s way. Strolling toward the dining area last night at the Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Spring Ball, he told us that it was the military and intelligence agencies that deserved all the credit, while “all that Obama did was say 'yea' or 'nay,' we’re going to take him out or not. I don’t think he contributed much at all.” He continued:


He just made the decision, it was obvious where the guy is. He was one of the worst terrorists organizing attacks on the United States. I mean, no president in his right mind would not approve that decision to go eliminate him. So he’s getting a lot of recognition and his polls have jumped up, but his decision was the easiest of them all. The real hard work was done by the intelligence and the SEALs.


So it's probably safe to say that Koch hasn't contributed to the boost in Obama's poll numbers since bin Laden was killed? Obama is "a hardcore socialist," Koch told us, "and he’s marvelous at pretending to be something other than that, but that is what I believe he truly is, a hardcore socialist. He’s scary to me."

[Deep13]

5. From now on lets agree that his name is pronounced "kok"...

...because that's how it is spelled. Kind of like how Boehner is pronounced with a long "o" because when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking.

[izquierdista]

13. He's got a point there

We all knew George wasn't in his right mind. If his last name was Williams instead of Bush, he'd probably be in jail.

[corpseratemedia]

Obama the scary socialist "who really didn't do anything" because he's not...scary enough??

[Politicalboi]

17. Had Obama failed

Well that skunk would have been ALL his.

[thelordofhell]

18. He should be scared

This is going to cost him at least 10 billion more in "soft" money to try to steal the next election

[Faygo Kid]

19. Been taking his talking points from Rush again.

What a waste of money on these clowns. They are horrid.

[martymar64]

20. We should sic the Seals on the Koch Brothers

[classysassy]

21. A visit by the Seals

to Mr Koch's estate would bring a change of mind in the Koch family of evil men and women(The Bush criminals are the in laws/outlaws of those unsavory criminals).Too bad most Americans are in love with the rich outlaws.

[Shiver]

22. Contributed more than you did.

Hey Dave - can I call you Dave? - here's the thing about saying 'yea'.: If he hadn't said 'yea', it wouldn't have happened. Think about that for a moment.

[rooboy]

23. The fact that Obama hasn't confiscated all of Koch's holdings proves he's not a socialist.

Of course, the fact that Koch inherited his wealth from his father indicates that he's a true parasite in the eyes of Ayn Rand.

[primavera]

24. Obama a socialist, I love that one

If only he were! People who think that obviously have no idea what a socialist is because Obama really isn't.

[cheri010353]

25. David Koch's opinion

means less than zero to me.
