The death of Osama Bin Laden has ignited an orgy of self-congratulatory bloviation from the left. This unrestrained adulation is jarringly strange coming from the anti-war, anti-military left. It seems that even Joy Behar has been caught up in the breathless Obama worship, remarking that the 2012 elections should be cancelled. Barack Hussein Obama’s statement regarding Bin Laden’s death contained at least 10 references to the personal pronouns “I” or “me.” Amidst all the democrat back-slapping, I’m reminded of Harry Reid’s infamous statement, “this war is lost.” Barack Hussein Obama and the democrat party opposed the prosecution of the war on terror and subverted efforts to bring Bin Laden to justice. Interestingly, Gitmo detainee and waterboard subject Kahlid Shaikh Mohammed provided key information which led directly to the death of Bin Laden. Gitmo, water boarding, and rendition were all tools utilized by the Bush administration, receiving withering criticism from Obama and the democrat party.
Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) is located in Cuba and is staffed by approximately 9000 U.S. Marines and sailors. The Guantanamo Bay area was offered to the U.S. Government as a perpetual lease in 1903 by Tomas Estrada Palma, who became Cuba’s first president. Gitmo’s current significance is associated with prison facilities located within the naval base. Within Gitmo’s state-of-the-art detention facilities are some of 9/11’s most notorious war criminals. The democrat party characterizes Gitmo as part of a complex of “secret” prisons in which, it is supposed, political prisoners are secreted, interrogated, or tortured. Oddly, Gitmo is notorious and hardly secret. The monolithic media are allowed regular access to the facility and have documented the impeccable nature of the detention facility and permissive accommodations that detainees enjoy regarding religious practice, exercise, and access to every modern convenience. Despite statements from B. Hussein Obama that he would immediately close Gitmo, Obama has continued the Bush policy of continuing to use Gitmo to house terrorism war criminals.
The practice of waterboarding was met with howls of protest from the left. Waterboarding is an enhanced interrogation technique in which the subject experiences simulated drowning. The technique results in no lasting physical or psychological injury. And, a physician is always present during the administration of the technique. Despite the benign nature of the technique and the overwhelming national security interest extant, B. Hussein Obama instructed his Department of Justice to investigate CIA interrogators for alleged criminal violations. The Obama administration attempted to classify the practice of waterboarding as a crime. However, Obama’s leftist witch hunt was thwarted by the thorough legal vetting conducted by the Bush administration. Information acquired through the use of waterboarding led directly to the death of Osama Bin Laden, which B. Hussein Obama directly authorized. Following his logic, Obama authorized the death of a foreign national based on information obtained by illegal means. So much for remaining true to the sacred principals that make our nation so respected in the international arena.
Obama has also been an outspoken opponent of the practice of rendition. Rendition involves the abduction and incarceration of terrorism suspects. It seems that Obama has lost his enlightened disdain for this practice. Since Barack Hussein Obama personally authorized the death of Osama Bin Laden, I assume his liberal sensibilities would not be offended by merely perpetrating an abduction.
In the end, the death of Osama Bin Laden is the inevitable result of Bush administration policies. Obama is merely a poacher. He presides over the worst economy since the great depression. Unemployment remains at staggering levels. Obamacare is a disaster. Obama’s Marxist policies have wrought catastrophic damage. Bin Laden’s death doesn’t change any of this. Bush led this country through the dark day of 9/11, provided principled leadership, and inspired the nation to act. Who will ever forget his 9/11 bullhorn speech: “I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you. And, the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.”

This is true. He used "I" 8 times, "me" 2 times, and "my" 3 times. I know because I used a word frequency counter tool (available here: http://www.writewords.org.uk/word_count.asp) on the full text of his speech (available here: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20058783-503544.html).
But it is also true is that he used the words "we" 40 times and "our" 47 times. In fact, "our" was the fourth most common word (following "the", "and", and "to").
Just thought you'd like to know that.
MPC--been busy so it's taken me a bit to get to your comment. First, you're an idiot. Second, Bush's statement did not include a single reference to "I" or "me." A true public servant. You may want to consider this, who got credit for the apollo moon landings? Was it Nixon? He was in office in 1969 when we landed on the moon. No, Kennedy will forever be associated with that great achievement because it was his initiative. Kennedy's policies drove that success, just as George W. Bush's policies drove the eventual elimination of Usama. Obama is just a poser. You know it, I know it, every thinking American knows this.
John - What were you busy with? Trying to think of a better insult than "idiot"?
First - Who CARES how EITHER speech sounded? You may want to consider this: While you are busy sniping and worrying about word counts the rest of the world is laughing at you and the rest of your Palin-ites.
Second - I have to love the lack of accountability on the part of hard line GOP-ers. Bush is absolutely absolved of ANY wrong doing during his term, and blame is shifter forward and backward to his predecessor and successor.
You know it, I know it, every thinking American knows this.
