Obama personally rescued the hostage.

[Danger Mouse]

I saw it on Tv. He had a bandolier strapped to his chest as he descended from a helicopter. The pirates were frozen in a combination of awe, respect, and pissing themselves. The Obama-inator wasted no time in pumping the pirates full of hot lead. The last pirate tried to attack him, but Obama was ready for it, and decapitated him with a karate chop.
Then he straightened his tie (yes, he's so awesome he did all of this in a suit), winked at the captain and said, 'Drinks on me.'

[Bicoastal]

1. Whatever...

...it happened on his watch. He's as responsible as he would have been if the mission had been an absolute disaster.

[Danger Mouse]

2. Of course. I'm just being cheeky.

[mkultra]

14. sour grapes

suck it up. He won.

[Two Americas]

17. are you serious?

If this is really how you see things, then we are in worse shape then I thought we were. Is there anything that is out of bounds in your crusade to crush the political Left?

I miss the good old days when only the extreme right wing accused us of hating America.

27. I didn't and I don't

I didn't call you a troll and I don't "slam the newly minted democratic president with every other breath."

I do disagree with many of the things the administration is doing, and I do object to the bullying here by people under the guise of "supporting" the newly minted democratic president.


...

[mkultra]

38. yes, people who choose to support the president

are clearly bullies while the dissenters are merely the voice of reason.

[Two Americas]

45. not necessarily

Again, I didn't say that.

However, I would say that many who claim to be "choosing to support the president" - whatever that means - relate everything to Obama, how it may affect his career, and others do not. So the two sides are not even arguing about the same thing.

I do not think that people are "choosing to support the president," in any case. That is cover for something else. "Choosing to use - misuse - the president in order to beat up on those who disagree with them" would be more like it.

[FrenchieCat]

3. Perhaps not....but the buck stops with him......

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

8. Yes it does. The OP has it all wrong though. It went down like this.

[Number23]

10. lol That picture is ludicrously hilarious

What's worse?? The skateboard, those ugly white socks, or that damn shark coming out of nowhere with not a drop of water for him to breathe in!

:rofl:

[LooseWilly]

44. Ohh no!

Obama jumped a shark?...

[Cha]

49. That pic fucking

RAWKS:rofl::patriot::fistbump:

[Pirate Smile]

35. He would have been blamed if it had gone bad so he should get credit when it works correctly.

[dionysus]

40. LOL at the irony of your screen name...

[uppityperson]

4. but Bo wasn't a shelter dog so he should be impeached

[EmilyAnne]

36. +1 million! Impeach!!! Rescue Bo! nt

[EmilyAnne]

37. Dupe. sorry.

[President Decider]

5. President Obama said this .....

[Jennicut]

21. LMAO

Most. Perfect. Pic. Ever.

[Political Heretic]

23. I love that one.

Even we who have many areas of disagreement with the administration, also have a sense of humor (and I for one happen to think that, as a person, Barack Obama is a pretty cool cat) :)

[Hekate]

29. That pic is as good as "Everyone Chill the F* Out. I Got This." Love it. nt

[Uzybone]

6. LOL

[Clio the Leo]

7. Nope, you got it all wrong...

I laid it all out for everyone three hours ago, please try to keep up... :)

9. Was he rockin his super cool sunglasses?

B-)

[Danger Mouse]

12. His sunglasses jumped off of his face because they felt unworthy of his greatness.

It was on CNN.

[Fleshdancer]

11. That's how he rolls

[Rowdyboy]

13. You have my vote for "Response of the day"!

:thumbsup:

[PopSixSquish]

18. I am So Saving That Graphic!

Loves it

:toast:

[Danger Mouse]

22. Does Obama take them shaken or stirred?

[Hekate]

30. Rrowr. He leaves me both shaken and stirred.

:rofl:

[NYC_SKP]

15. Ooh, Oooh! "Barack the Barbarian"

:loveya:

[Drunken Irishman]

41. Obama's ripped.

[Politicalboi]

16. He got in his boat

And was heard saying "I got this" as he laughed, putting on his sunglasses as he sailed away with his tie blowing in the wind.

[Political Heretic]

24. lol!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

28. LOL...this thread is full of win...

[skooooo]

19. MIGHTY OBAMA

[Kaleva]

20. He has "Mission Accomplished" tatooed

on his.....

[thelordofhell]

34. You saw the tatoo at the wrong time..........It really says

Mission "Get the Navy Seals the hell in there to rescue that brave American who risked his life to save all the other passengers of the boat by putting three bullets in the heads of those absolutely stupid pirates who had the nerve to kidnap an American citizen on my watch" is now fully and completely, without exception, in any way shape or form, Accomplished

[Kaleva]

39. I saw him after he swam across Lake Superior during winter.

I couldn't make out all the other words between "Mission" and "Accomplished".

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

48. I'm pathetic. -nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

47. It only looks like that when it's limp.

In action, it reads: "Mission of rescue of American hostage of Somali pirates successfully accomplished."

[acmavm]

25. Obama had a good day. But the Navy Seals, they were superb. Of course,

they are trained to operate flawlessly and bravely. And they had a worthy ally in the man they had to rescue. He was pretty smart and brave himself.

Obama didn't personally rescue the guy, but that doesn't matters to me. I think he should be allowed to wear these victories proudly as CIC, because he'll surely get his ass tarred and feathered for the losses, if/when we have them.

[BlooInBloo]

31. Did he get the girl???

[QC]

32. When I saw him with that knife clamped between his teeth,

I felt a thrill run up my leg!

[Danger Mouse]

46. Chris Matthews, I always knew it was you!

[spooky3]

33. hahaha!

[Posteritatis]

42. Rrrk! Mental ... image .. winning! (nt)

[DevonRex]

43. Hey buddy, I was with you until the wink. Then I had this awful Palin flashback

that I just can't get out of. Please post an awsome Obama picture to get it out of my head. Pretty please????

51. I was with you up until the underwear.

And honestly, I never saw as much criticism for the troops here as you say. I've seen plenty leveled at Rumsfeld, et. al. and the self-serving and destructive war they fomented. There are several members of the military who post here, and we respect their service and the service of all our men and women.

The rest of it, we will have to wait and see. Some people are still doing a victory lap, and this was meant to be more of a satirical thread to have fun in. I'm sorry you are eaten to the core. Not a fun feeling I know.

[Skittles]

53. actually, that repuke troll spelled it "underware"

[uppityperson]

54. I was with him until calling for impeaching mrbush in the first line.

But then I am a "left wing democrats" eating him to his core.

[Skittles]

52. hey teeka

go peddle your garbage at the freak republic, where you will be very much welcomed

[Starry Messenger]

55. I don't know about that :).

The Red Dawn fantasies over at Free Republic are pretty off the hook these days. It's going to need a lead shield for the containment field soon. They might actually think this person isn't conservative enough. The last time I peeked they were calling for purges of McCain voters. :scared: Because McCain was too liberal...

[opihimoimoi]

56. The GOP is Passe....old and Obsolete....they bully their way into positions of Power

cheat if they have to....these types are everywhere....we call them Peters and their cousins are Cronies....the Pub Party is now in need of a change.....to the better or to continue Fooling/scammin America with crap...

The GOP is Pathetic....and...unless they can resuscitate in time....will lose their asses come Nov 2010

The Odds look like crap....caught between a Rock and Obama, the Pubs stagnate with outdated Political Strats....what worked a few years ago...ain't doing it now...

[prolesunited]

57. So...Obama did the correct thing, yet you're still butt-hurt about it?

Classy.

[blogslut]

58. Do tell.

So, how does it feel to know that your wee tea parties are funded by corporations such as DuPont, Westinghouse, Prudential and AETNA? What is it like to be as fake as Jeff Gannon's press credentials?

When you're gone and there's nothing left but the pizza crusts, remember to tell the kids @ Shirley & Bannister, they can throw all the seeds they want but astroturf is still astroturf.

[JTFrog]

59. This should eat at you too then:

Fucking troll.

[Danger Mouse]

60. Bush personally hired the pirates and is the pirate captain.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, bucky!

[LynnTheDem]

61. Well that's funny, coz you're blaming Pres. Obama for GEORGE W. BUSH's tax code

with your "teabagging".

By the way, you really should google "teabagging".

Another by the way, you're on the wrong board.

[Bucky]

62. President of Awesome
