        No, because there is no scenario where they could credit a black Democratic POTUS for anything, period. Even with overwhelming evidence that Bush did nothing but increase the gap between the rich and the poor, along with breaking just about every international law we USED to uphold.

      What color is the sky in their fantasy world? If they were smart they'd congratulate the President and let the news pass. Instead these dummies harp on giving Bush credit no one thinks he deserves and giving voters reminder of the worst president ever isn't too bright either.

      It's so transparent, it's funny. Why?

      Because, this destroys the whole myth that Democrats are weak on terrorism and national security, and shows that indeed, a democratic president can, and did order for Bin Laden to be killed.

      Hannity's right. His side MUST argue that Bush was right.

      It's the same mentality that caused Howell Cobb to admit that the Confederacy he supported was ideologically bankrupt.

      When, near the end of the Civil War, some Confederate leaders proposed arming African-Americans, Cobb said:

      "If slaves will make good soldiers our whole theory of slavery is wrong."

      Howell understood that any pro-slavery arguments made after that point in the conflict were hollow. The Confederacy's very reason for existing had been disproven.

      So it is with Hannity, et. al.

      If they admit that Bush got it wrong and Obama got it right, then they admit that all of their conservative "MuslimKenyanIndonesianFascistSocialistCommunist
      Obama" arguments are BS.

      Hannity and the rest can't admit that their movement is ideologically bankrupt, so they're forced to delude themselves.

        That's true Aeval, however, you fail to mention that during Bushies time in office he took 912 days off. 912!! When they play the clip of Bush saying, I don't know where he is and I don't really think about him anymore, it's because he's thinking of all the brush in Texas that's got to be cleared. Bush did two things while in office that this country had never done before, 1) Start a war. During our 200+ years this country had NEVER started a war, we finished a bunch of them but we never started them. 2) We never tortured anyone. We have Bushie & Co. to thank for those two events that IMHO diminish our country in the eyes of the world. Hannity and Fox can try and sell all the B.S. they want but the only reason they're doing it is because the RepubliKan Party has nothing to offer.

          It was more than 912 days off. It was over 1000. He was "on vacation" for over 1/3 of his presidency.

          As for Bush and the "ranch," I doubt that he's spent much time there. That ranch was window dressing . . . he bought it at Rove's direction in 1999, just prior to announcing he was running for president. Bush is NOT a cowboy. He prefers the cushy living in the Park Cities area near Dallas.

      As if we didn't know already this proves Hannity is a petty sore loser.

      You have to have a simple intellect to agree with Hannity's premise that waterboarding in 2003 lead "directly" to getting OBL.

      So it takes over 7 years to act on that intelligence? During the last 2-1/2 years the wingnuts whined about Obama doing nothing to find OBL. Either Hannity has no clue what year this is or he just can't accept that his dear leader Bush failed (or didn't care) to find Bib Laden.

        Well, to be fair, I don't think that the Republiteatards are arguing that it actually took 7 years to realize the fruit of that torture. What they are saying is that they got the address of the compound in 2003 by using waterboarding, an officially sanctioned and "moral" form of questioning, so Obama had it as soon as he took office. It took him over two years to find it on a Mapsco.

      Let's not forget Bush's famous comment " I don't think that much about him" I'm not looking for him... Then in 2005 Bush shuts down the CIA's Bin Laden task force that Clinton started in 1996. It isn't until Barrack Obama reopens the task force that we make headway to find OBL.
      ***Note: After the 2005 dismantling of OBL task force construction begins on OBL's mansion w/cave motif!
      Bush clearly does not deserve credit for finding Bin Laden.

      Bush does deserve credit for illegal war in Iraq. The deaths of 100,000's of Iraqies. The outing of an imbedded CIA agent (V. Plaine). Standing by while corporations make billions off of the two wars, that's called War Profiteering. Used to be treason just sixty plus years ago. I'll give Bush credit for all of these truths I've put to ink here today. There is more but...

      You know, if Bush caught or killed Osama, I would have congratulated him.

      And I can't believe that for an entire day I actually thought the right-wing neocons would at least tip their hat towards Obama on this. But no. It's almost as if they are in full "damage-control mode" i.e. Mark Foley, George Allen, Tom Delay, The Day that NO WMD's were found in Iraq, Sarah Palin, etc. They just want to PROVE something, and they won't even bother using any real evidence. They just want to avoid praising Obama and letting him have ANY credit at ALL COSTS!
