Sarah Palin offers thanks to Bush, not Obama, for death of Bin Laden

Sarah Palin offers kudos to George W. Bush for Osama bin Laden’s death, but omits President Obama’s name



Are you surprised? Even slightly surprised? Is this good Fox news entertainment or what?

A day after Osama bin Laden's death, Sarah Palin offered measured praise to President Obama for his role in approving the operation to kill the 9/11 mastermind, though she didn't once mention the Commander-in-Chief by name.

Speaking at a tribute to military veterans in Colorado, the former Alaska governor credited Obama's "decisive leadership" in the mission--referring to him as "the president."

But she notably praised former President George W. Bush by name, insisting he had laid the groundwork for the successful operation. "We thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory," she said, per the Denver Post.

The speech was noticeably less combative than recent remarks by Palin, in which she seemed to go out of her way to aggressively attack Obama's foreign policy as weak.

Yes, because we all know how much Bush put effort into capturing Hussei...er...Bin Laden. What planet is this bitch on?

Last night, Palin didn't back down from that critique, but she espoused a more pragmatic foreign policy view than she has been known to voice in the past. While she has previously argued for an aggressive use of American force, Palin seemed to reverse course, arguing that a president should offer "clarity" and "clearly defined objectives" before engaging U.S. troops abroad.

I also heard that Bush declined Obama's offer to celebrate with him on ground Zero and Bush declined.

Gee..I wonder why he declined?

"umm..I..I...I..I....I...we havent heard from him...and the idea of focusing on one person..umm...is...ummm *smacks lips* really..uh...indicates to me people dont understand..the...scope of the mission../..I just dont spend much time on him"

Even Supreme Chancelor Dick Palpatine Cheney gave props to Obama for the Bin Laden job...without shooting him in the face with 12 guage buck shot!

That says a lot.
