Let's be clear on This: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American soldier, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. Obama just happened to be in office when one of our soldiers finally found O.B.L and took him out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!!! REPOST IF YOU AGREE!!!
PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Someone just posted something you can use
While Obama was focused on catching Osama, the GOP was focused on giving tax breaks to million dollar homes.

2. It wasn't Obama debating whether to pay them. It was Boehner, Ryan, and the rest of the republicans

15. It was Obama who demanded a backup plan ...
which resulted in the saving of SEALs' lives when backup helicopters were needed.

3. One of my friends posted that
I contemplated rebutting it, but I figured if that's all they've got...go for it. Pretty weak sauce if you ask me. :)

7. It is weak but I couldn't resist replying....
A post like this disregards not only the Commander in chief who gives the order, but all of the the agencies that worked the intel that led up to the mission. The Soldiers would have never been successful without a President who was willing to make this a priority and the CIA who was very capable.The soldiers were awesome but this victory doesn't belong to just them. If this is an American victory, we can't disregard some of the Americans that made it happen!

and.....

You know...i have to wonder how many actual Seals would be comfortable taking credit for the whole thing? Veterans are entitled to their opinions just like everyone else but I gotta say that my hubby served and I can't imagine him agreeing with this sentiment. It is very divisive. We all know that Obama didn't pull the trigger and I haven't heard anyone claim that he has. I have to wonder who would have got the blame if the mission went wrong.

11. Always hit back with the truth.
The Republican Congress is trying to gut vet benefits. The Republicans refused body armor. The Republicans hired a company run by Republicans that electrocuted soldiers taking a shower and THEN GAVE THEM MORE CONTRACTS.

Make them crawl back into their holes.

Accomplished" banner?

13. By that logic ...
... Osama bin Laden wasn't responsible for killing anyone on September 11, 2001.
