4. Osama bin Laden is Dead.
This is the most irritating point that left wingers make. More than Obamacare or the Buffet Rule or anything, this makes me so furious. Obama did not kill Osama bin Laden. Obama did not take his life with his bare hands. He ordered for him to be killed, yes. But ever since 9/11, the Bush administration was constantly gathering information about his whereabouts, so the Obama administration had only a small amount of work to do in order to get bin Laden. How come nobody credits W with an assist? You know, for the 6-7 years of information he'd gathered before Obama even took office? At least give Bush his due credit. But you won't, because in your world (actually, in just about every left-winger's world) Bush did nothing right. Nothing. Not a thing. He only made this country worse and worse and basically put it on the brink of financial collapse (which he didn't do that by himself, but that's another debate) and so on and so forth. You liberals won't give Bush ANY credit. For anything. Bush could have gone to New Orleans hours before the levees broke, causing Katrina, and tried to seal the levees with bare hands and you wouldn't give him any credit. In fact, as soon as the levees broke, you'd be on your "IT'S BUSH'S FAULT" crusade. So the bin Laden point is moot. The job was nearly completed, and Obama was the one to finish it. Bush should be getting about as much credit for bin Laden's death as Obama in terms of Presidents, but SEAL team 6 deserves all of the credit, of course.
