What a stupid thread, we have all been over this. If I do it and it works out well I win, if you do it and it works out well, I helped you. Both sides take credit and pass blame. Obama made a good call. Let it go at that, and yes he will take the credit and use it in his campaign. Just like the Republicans would have done.

I'm shocked, I say...SHOCKED!!
It seems to me like the RWers like to play both sides of the fence.
When its beneficial to them politicizing anything is perfectly acceptable...they argue and say things like "So and so is a politician, that's to be expected."
However, when it's NOT to their benefit they tend to argue and say things like "How day they politicize such a sacred thing."
I remember the 9/11 Snuff Film the GOP put on during their convention when McCain give us all Palin. That was THE worst case of politicizing an event in American history if I'm not mistaken.
They seem to still want to use that event as a political stick...when and if it benefits them of course.
Now they are all up in arms, getting their panties in a bunch because they perceive some people as politicizing Obama's victories in the death of Osama and the pending doom of Khaddaffi.
So somebody please tell me, what's the protocol....when is it OK to politicize stuff?
The rule is actually pretty simple, if it benefits your side go for it, if it benefits the other side it is wrong. That is why you support it when Democrats do it, and oppose it when Republicans do it. Pretending you don't get it just proves how much of a hack you are.
Funny thing is I find it to be the opposite (when other people are doing it that is). For instance, last night I was disgusted by some of the comments from people that I generally agree with when they stated that the announcement of the death of OBL was basically done to boost his numbers for the coming campaign. Not their words, but the gist of what they said. While there were left wing comments that were equally politicizing. To me, it was the right wing ones that bugged me. What the left ones didn't bother me one bit.
Immie
Notice how these radical RWers have all been bashing Obama with the meme of..."he's just another Bush."
Not realizing that they're simultaneously bashing Bush for his ABYSMAL policies, leadership and Presidency that led this country to the brink of disaster and damn-near financial collapse.
Only to turn around with the meme that "give him credit for continuing Bush's policy for killing Obama."
It makes absolutely non sense. Not to mention that its an outright lie, but radical RWers are notorious for lying and/or believing myths.
No surprise. It's their cluelessness, both willful and ignorantly that baffles me about these people.
Uncanny.
*SMH*
I guess that leaves me free to speak up, as I have not yet given him credit for continuing Bush's policy to kill bin Laden, nor do I intend to give him credit for that. The fact is that Bush blew this when he said he did not care where he was.
That does not mean that Bush's policies did not contribute to Obama finding bin Laden. The initial intelligence came as a direct result of enhanced interrogation, and the CIA worked for years to develop it as a lead. Finding bin Laden was a long term effort that spanned three different administrations. Obama gets the credit for ordering the operation that brought vengeance, not justice, to us for 9/11.
By the way, if Bush's policies brought us to the brink of collapse, than Obama has cut the ground from under our feet and left us hanging from a root over the edge of the cliff. If you fail to acknowledge that you are no better that the people you are calling clueless.
Before I comment on politicizing events, I want to ask a question.
Jeffrocket, The bank bailouts were put in place by George Bush, but because they didn't take effect until Obama came into office....That debt became part of the "Obama's killing the country with spending" mantra.
But an operation that takes place three years after Bush left office that successfully took out OBL, and you want Bush to have partial credit?
Ok... now onto politicizing events.
Politicians will do what they do. I'd much rather have them brag about their accomplishments than to run down their opponents with all the negative campaign ads, and yes... that goes for either party.

What initial intelligence specifically?
On your last paragraph, I disagree completely. I guess for you to see, time will have to tell.
I'm sure you were amongst those that bashed, and probably still do for the "Car Bailout" that was actually a loan that Obama sanctioned. It's now baring fruit and coming out wonderfully for the country.
The same thing will apply to the economy.
I won't waste time trying to argue with on that back and forth, all I'll say is, give it some time, you'll see where we are come 2012 when its time to vote.

How is the UAW bailout "bearing fruit?" Does that mean the union contributions are rolling into Obama's campaign?
