From Denny: Today President Obama took yet another victory lap while in Afghanistan, spiking the proverbial football and crowing about how he "got" America's Number One Terrorist Boogeyman a year ago, Osama bin Laden. Never mind the rest of us find this political boasting in an election year as really bad form, including Arianna Huffington.
Actually, it was the Navy Seals that killed the fool. Why would a president that regularly has a hard time making any decisions go around the world crowing about how he made one decision to kill one terrorist in the comfort of the White House and well protected by thousands of bodyguards from thousands of miles away from the gore? Come on; it has the look of election year desperation and is a bit pathetic. It looks like the presidential version of an Elmo Happy Dance.
But hey, it's standard election year politics for both parties. It's their job to live in a fantasy world about what is a great idea for focusing the public on all their accomplishments while in office. The objective is to distract away from what is making the public angry about the candidate's performance so the voters will forget and vote for him any way. Yeah, Life in America. Does it get any better?
For years Osama bin Laden was The Terrorist Boogeyman Fav of both political parties. They practically emblazoned his photo as a tattoo on their lazy unproductive asses while they wrapped themselves in the American flag. Each side vied for The Tougher Stance Talk to one up the other guys like it was a sport.
The reality was that Osama bin Laden was so mentally and physically ill that he was on his way out of this world on his own within a couple of short years. The Navy Seals just helped him slide faster on that banana peel. He was already living under self-imposed house arrest and running out of recruits to do his bidding while trying to run his operation covertly.
Meanwhile, the late night comics spared no barbs about the years of, and politicians, chasing after Osama bin Laden. The cartoonists chimed in and "a good time was had by all."
Take a look at the funny posts from 2009 through 2011. OK, a few serious ones sneaked in too. Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart mocked their way through the bin Laden years and even after his death. These guys were totally irreverent. Who said there are not more effective ways to torture terrorists than water boarding? If America is not careful, the Geneva Convention just might outlaw our comics too.
