I don't know what the plan is for his "burial at sea" gig, but I for one would love to see him hung up (whatever's left of him) on a flag pole at ground zero & leave him there til the birds have finished him off to the bone.

Then take the bones down & use 'em for target practice!

On the East Coast, Trump was interrupted right around the time someone was gonna get fired. Obama gets a win/win out of this. If anything, the media stole the spotlight from Pres.Obama. I would have loved to have heard it from Pres. Obama first. To me, it would have just been better that way.

Agreed, he is getting a little more than fashionably late by now...

I thought Bush was responsible for 9/11? WTF? But seriously, I'll give Obama credit for this, he had to keep it a priority for it to happen. Its not like he was doing anything that any other President wouldn't do, but whatever, it happened under his command. This is a good thing that Osama is dead. Anti-terrorism stuff is the one thing Obama seems to be doing right, I wish he'd put in the same effort into the economy. :)

LOL. People will forget about this by next week. Gas prices are more important to most Americans these days.

This is exactly what I was thinking. At first I thought, "Well, this locks Obama's reelection." However, Americans are a fickle people, and if gas prices don't go back down I'm sure that the memory of OBL's death will fade.

Wait - did he say he authorized the action today? I've seen many reports that said all of this happened last week.
