the right can't stand this the Pres. by action has taken away one of their staples and device of war crimes, keeping America safe.
President Obama marked the eleventh anniversary of the September 11th attacks by honoring those who have served to keep the country safe and reflecting on “how far we’ve come as a nation.”“It’s a time to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent men, women and children we lost, and the families they left behind,” said Obama in his weekly address.“It’s a chance to honor the courage of the first responders who risked their lives – on that day, and every day since. And it’s an opportunity to give thanks for our men and women in uniform who have served and sacrificed, sometimes far from home, to keep our country safe,” he added. “This anniversary is about them.”Obama said “the last decade has been a difficult one,” but the nation had “come back stronger.”“Thanks to the courage and skill of our intelligence personnel and armed forces, Osama bin Laden will never threaten America again,” he added.
and they still want to give Bush the credit when what he deserves is this;
face it they were inept and he wasn't.
Democrats believe they hold an edge on national security this election season and last week sharply criticized GOP candidate Mitt Romney for discussing bin Laden in his Tampa convention speech but not mentioning the war in Afghanistan.
Romney on Friday responded to that criticism, saying that he had spoken repeatedly about his “commitment to our military” and accusing the president of overseeing drastic cuts to the defense budget.
talking to the VFW is not addressing the troops, "mentioning" the war does not constitute concern it is just what it is a "mention", like Bush endorsement as the elevator door closed.
