1. Yes they will!
However; they can't take this away from him although they will try.

It happened with his direct order to take OBL out. If they want to to go there then we will remind them of Tora Bora and the fact that Junior/Cheney said "No" to taking him out.

That's all right....the President is used to it.

6. And don't waste your time trying to reach them; use it for something else.

Pathetic.

to even things out. ;)

9. And it is relentless. Like the energizer bunny. But millions of them
all with the same knee jerk responses.

18. Very very apparent tonight. It is like taking part in a large scale psych experiment.

8. They can't take this night away from him
Media is eating it up, the crowds are going crazy, internet is on fire. Tonight those people don't matter.

13. I actually think that's true for the other nights too.
He's a popular president, even more so amongst liberals. And I don't think the complainers are necessarily right-wing disruptors either. They might just see the Internet as an easy way to complain what they want out of the administration. But it doesn't much matter because they sap the time of those who are here to be more effective activists.

10. I'm one of the people on these forums who is the most vocal critics of this President,
but I don't have any criticism this time. He did good.

11. If you're speaking of OBL's death, there is no way to diminish what he's done...
There is also no way to play it up.

The ball was put in motion years ago. Obama kept it rolling. The objective was met.

It's not wholly Obama's quest to claim complete. You know that.

Let's, on the other hand, congratulate the hard work of those who REALLY made this happen. Surely you're not going to claim that President Obama chased OBL through the mountains. Let's leave that KUDOS to those whose actions are actually responsible for our celebrations.

16. And some people will always get their panties in a bunch
because others have differing opinions.

20. Not really . Same issue.
Both groups are talking about other posters rather than the events and issues.
I think this shows that a bit of will and effort got the bad guy rather quickly. Like the tornado response, this shows that the administration has been working with focus to undo much of the Bush era problems. There is much to discuss that is favorable to the administration. But that is not the subject of this thread, which is 'not everyone agrees with me'. Which is stating the painfully obvious, and thus is redundant and pointless to any worthwhile objective.

24. Not very responsive
But that is my point. If I speak of the issue of the day, you reply by stating the obvious about DUers. You simply will not discuss the issues, not matter what. It has to be about DU. I pass on that.
