New Romney Backer John Bolton Says Obama Shouldn’t Take Credit for Bin Laden Killing

‘Bolton called Obama the “first president, Republican or Democrat, at least since Franklin Roosevelt, who didn’t get up every morning thinking first about what threats the United States faces. He just doesn’t care about national security the way other presidents did.”

WHAT A LOAD OF KRAP!! I have never once heard Obama take credit. I heard him say “WE got him” and I heard him say, “The death of Bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat Al Qaeda. But his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that Al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.”

So, if you’re going to claim someone said something, cite your source! Or are you a hater for the sake of hating???

Seems that Mr. Bolton has forgotten how Bush II ignored information about threats before 9/11.

right Richard Nixon neither deserves credit for the moon landing, or blame for preventing a moon landing.

They got Bin Laden. Good, how you turn that into a criticism of Obama – well anyway, all it says is people believe what they want to believe…

It’s ashame that everyone is resigned to a Romney vs. Obama clash – 98% of republicans haven’t voted yet – they might have picked someone good.

Instead they get this clown, frankly that doesn’t believe anything particular…but he’s going to hire all the political consultants in the world and put on this stock political show.

“He just doesn’t care about national security the way other presidents did,” said Bolton.—wow. I like Mitt, but crap like this actually makes me NOT like Mitt. Are you kidding me. Bush said “I dont know where Bin LAden is and I DONT CARE”. The hunt for Bin Laden was OVER during the Bush rein. Bin Laden was in the SAME PLACE for FIVE Of Bush’s 8 years, and they never got him, THEY STOPPED TRYING!!!!! Had they TRIED Bush would have gotton him. Obama reconstituted the search on DAY ONE of his presidency he REASSIGNED CIA to task#1 = GET Bin LAden. Even the CIA has agreed the search became mission #1 when Obama took office. The intelligence on the house was only 50/50. The cal lto go in, on that intelligence, the call to NOT inform Pakistan and go in, against international law was 100% on Obama. HAd he been wrong there would have been HUGE fall out. He was right. HE gets the credit because if it DID NOT WORK he would get ALL THE FAULT!!!!! If the Seals died, if they were shot down, if Pakistan found out, and killed the Seals, a MILLIONS things could have gone wrong,and if they did, Obama would have gotton all the blame. HE GETS THE CREDIT! period. Mitt…..really?????? You think this helps you??? I Liked you as governor. My opinion of you just fell a few notches there, pal.

Best thing MItt can do about this is come out publicly and say “shut up Bolton. Stop. Just stop. And congratuations Mr. Presidency that Bin Laden was killed under your watch”. If Mitt was smart, he was step AWAY from Bolton on this. stupid stupid thing to do.

They’re making a judgment on character. They want a president who has judgment, who has steadiness of purpose, who has leadership, who won’t falter in a crisis— uh huh. Like…killing somali pirates by shooting them in a head? LIke taking out Bin Laden and giving the go ahead even though the info was only 50/50 that it was Bin Laden in there, like saying “ya know, for all this ‘we are allies” I really dont trust Pakistan…go in, and dont tell them. Yeah, I know that breaks international law …do it anyway”…..like, perhaps, the decision we will NOT help Libya unti lthe Arab League gives us their blessing FIRST because we are NOT going to have Arab nations blame us for all their problems!!!! We will help Libya in bombing ONLY, the people of Libya have to fight their own war, and oh yeah, before we help, the Arab League MUST VOTE and take ownership that you AGREED to have the ‘great satan” bomb an Arab country, so no bellyaching when we do!” ( I loved that Obama did that!!! very savy move)…that a Libyan leaders was disposed within ONE year and WITHOUT ONE loss of American life! Drone strikes in Afghanistan taking out AQ leaders. ya know what, on foreign policy, Obama kicks butt!!!!! Mitt has done NOTHING and Obama got Bin Laden. I’d sort of keep my mouth shut about foreign policy if I were a Mitt Supporter. NOT your strong suit and if you say Obama hasn’t done good….just makes us see how out of touch the person is. We’re thinking, we LIKE this type of foreign policy. Iraq War over, Bin Laden dead, pirates shot in the head, Ghadafi dead without one american life lost…..thjis is bad to you???? really??? Thennnnn….maybe we dont want YOU, eh? because we want MORE of this type of foreign policy, thank you very much clueless man.

Bolton? Wasn’t he the troll responsible for misleading us on WMDs in Iraq? He’s culpable for the death of over 4000 US kids. Arrest him and send him to jail.

It’s clear now, a vote for either Romney (whom Bolton endorses) or Gingrich (who would appoint Bolton to an office) is a vote for war.

Amazing how the GOP keeps trotting out the former Bush LOOSERS as if they are experts on anything. The Bush Administration was a disaster for our country in every since of the word INCLUDING foreign relations. So much so that Republicans around the country ran from responsibility and started calling themselves independents and their GOP candidate in 2008 ran on change away from the Bush policies. Bolton, you’re a snake so do us all a favor and slither back under your rock.

Bolton is an extremely intelligent man, and he is right about Obama. Obama couldn’t even handle giving the order once Seal Team 6 (the same Seal team that idiot libs used to claim were Cheney’s personal assassins) had Bin Ladin cornered………..Panetta did. And sorry Bots, but if you bother to research the narcissiitic Obama’s own scheduled, you would see that he does very little actually work if any. He spends most of his time playing celebrity and now doing a bit a campaigning. His average work day is about 1 1/2 hours with this strange thing about 3 and 4 hour lunches. . Sorry the truth hurts.

Obama didn’t take credit. However, he did have troops concentrate on finding bin Laden, unlike Bush, who decided to start a war with Iraq instead of completing the task of taking down Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Instead of a megalomaniac that kept the Iranians in check, we now have a free for all in Iraq (the US can’t stay there forever, which is what it would take to prevent this), and Iran on the loose. No more crazy Hussein to keep crazy Ahmadinijad in place.

John Bolton is a pathetic and miserable person. Why can’t he just shut the hell up? He’s partly responsible for a war that brought misery to many thousands of people, nearly bankrupted the United States, and damaged America’s position and power in the world. The net effect of his career and all his work has been to hurt America. Damn him. Damn him. Damn him. He should shut the hell up.

Those who have followed Bolton’s career know he is a right wing extremist ideologue. He was one of the architects of the disasterous Iraq War. He is a serial spreader of misinformation, disinformation and false information. Anything and everything he utters is suspect and must be checked for accuracy and veracity. In the case of the rubbish he is spewing concerning Obama, it is just plain false.

How about just giving credit where it deserves to go, the CIA and those brave NAVY SEALS ! Not someone hiding in the safety of a bunker !!!!!

Even Dick Cheney said that Obama did well in getting bin Laden. Obama took the risk. He gave the order. Imagine the political damage he would have suffered had the mission failed. In the minds of Republicans, had Bush given the order, it just might have saved his failed presidency.

Under Obama the U.S. finally got rid of the cockroach Ben Laden after eight years of ineptitude by Junior Bush. Obama took a risk, just like Jimmie Carter did sending a rescue team into Iran. Only this time the risk paid off.

John Bolton – one of GW Bush’s 171 RECESS APPOINTMENTS. Sharp as a pillow. Thanks GW.

Gee, SPECIALTY57, working the graveyard shift, blogging on
the computer instead of watching the nuclear rods melt. Wait
until the supervisor finds this out ! Like him, I’d fire you too.

Note to Mitt Romeny: with friends like this you don’t need any enemies. Keeping John Bolton around is about as sure a way to lose this election as you will find. Unless you believe all that crap that Rush is feeding you.

a cynic wrote:”John Bolton – one of GW Bush’s 171 RECESS APPOINTMENTS.”
.
As he had the authority to do per the Constitution… while Congress was in actual recess. Unlike the petulant little punk 0Bama who could not take no for an answer and thumbed his nose at the whole country and did what he damn well pleased appointing Cordray whether he had that specific authority or not. He did not.

“This dunce needs to disappear from our national radar.” Gosh what an amazingly grown up thing to say. Good debating skills, Carlos. A “dunce”, huh? Yeah, he’s a dunce. He thinks that there are only fifty states in the United States, not 57. Dummy that he is. And he graduated Magma cum Laude from Yale. What a fool! He needed that 3rd word (magna) whereas that genius in the white house MAY have graduated with just two words (cum-laude). Bolton’s is such a dunce that he allowed his transcripts to be seen. Genius in chief simply says, “take my word for it….i am the smartest thing that ever passed through the hallowed halls”, and, un-dunce-like, keeps his transcripts a matter of national secrecy. Bolton never realized that Hawaii is part Asia. Man can he learn a lot for the guy that was born there. What a dunce! Why, I bet that idiot Bolton doesn’t even know how to pronounce “KORPS MAN”. Wonder if dunce-Bolton knows that the United States is “the country that built the intercontinental railroad”? Yeah, Karlos…..Bolton is the dunce. But only because his politics are different than yours….It’s the Lib way, dontcha know….anyone who doesn’t march in lockstep with the lemmings is a dunce. Thank you for your insight. Have a nice day.

Bolton = Hater with an Ugly Mustache

Jerome, if “THEMOM” wasn’t so dependent on other people telling her what to think, then all she would have to do is Google “Obama takes credit for bin Ladin”. Literally hundreds of sources would be cited………but……..it’ll never happen. It would kill her unicorn.

Mr. Bolton…you are an ignorant a–. The plan to capture Bin Laden was Pres. Obama’s plan and he took a risk because if it failed…all the spiteful and hateful people like you would say…look at what he did …he failed. Now that it was a success …you still give this man no credit. Speak to the people who were with him when this decision was made…it was his. How bitter can you get? Pres. Bush promised to get Bin Laden and two short years later after 9/11 he said…”I don’t know where he is” ” I don’t think about him.” I don’t think about him….this from the president during 9/11. The very same president who stood on the side of a ship dressed in uniform and said….WE WON and 8 years later we were still in the war he said “we won” He wasn’t even looking for him after two short years. Where were your indignations when he lied us into this war where many were killed and many more maimed? If anyone was a failure…Bush was a failure in many ways. He took a surplus of 1.2 trill. and turned it into a deficit and a recession …which by the way started in 2007 not 2009. Republicans like to blame Pres. Obama for this recession hoping some other stupid people like yourself can’t remember when and how it started. You notice Pres. Bush never comes out with any statements denying or confirming any facts…he cannot ….because he knows he would be riduculed…so he takes the path of least resistance and stays out of politics now. You my friend should take a lesson from him as you were not a success either. For your information…President Obama never took the credit for himself….he gave it all to the navy seals who were proud to work for him. You can take your kind of conservatism which is more like communism and try to sell it as something good…it is not…it is the worst kind of policy ever. Your kind likes to say too much govt. until you get in charge and then all of a sudden, you change voting rules, women’s rights, personal rights, fire middle income people or ask them to give up more for the country while you and your cohorts continue to get rich and give more to the corporations whom you say are the hiring machines….where have they been for the last five years or more since they got their tax breaks…they have been shipping jobs overseas to save more money. The plan Prs. Obama put forth to capture Bin Laden made it possible to capture more information by not bombing the site…and still you give this credit to Bush who ins’t even smart enough to figure it out. Please…give me a break all you conservative liars.

You’re missing the point of Bolton’s comments. He’s saying that Obama’s CAMPAIGNING on OBL’s death as if that’s the be-all, end-all to foreign relations when, in fact, his OVERALL foreign policy is a disaster. And he’s right. Things are much worse the world over, the Arab world in particular. And @Morellenok: Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright were the first to be advised regarding a potential attack against the US and they chose to IGNORE IT. I hope your moral outrage extends to them.

“Sorry the truth hurts.” (fellowbunny) ~~~~~ The truth and you would seem to have only a passing acquaintance. Is this the reason you keep your distance from it?

Nospinparrots…..tell ya what. Simply google “Taliban track seal team six” and see what you get. Then come back with your big mouth claims about it being totally undocumented. It may be buried by the MSM, but the fact is is that Joe Biden’s big mouth may very well be responsible for the deaths of 30 good men. I am not going to go through the trouble of listing all of the documentation because of two reasons: First, you can simply google it and skip from one documentation to the next. Second, it does not matter how many docs you see, you will continue to live in your state of denial, and I am not going to waste my time trying to be a “Lib-whisperer”. Just put on your big boy pants and look it up for yourself……

I give Obama credit…….for not getting in the way!

Thank you TMFerretti….that is the funniest post that I’ve read in here in a long long time. You are a hoot! (no offense to the owls of the world)

I mean… wha… who… how… Ya know, I would expect this type of off-the-chart nonsense from a Breitbart, BabyDoll…ya know… what’s the gal’s name in Alaska? or a … NO! not even from them!!! I’d expect such verbage from a partisan of partisan with an IQ of 1 but from a UN Ambassador??? What kind of people are there in Washington? No wonder things are soooo screwed up!!!
