only a lemming gives Obama credit for bin Laden. Funny how selective you guys are for who is responsible for what happens "on his watch".

Got it.

When will you guys accept the fact that the rest of us don't live inside your little bubble?

actually you do not "got it"...and your bubble comment is more applicable to yourself than me....i never mentioned anything about a conspiracy.

I merely noted the attention given...i have often considered that the media's biggest flaw is being a "for-profit" enterprise...and yes, sex sells....style sells...and it sells newspapers and presidential candidates. The fundamental critique is that the bulk of Obama voters were motivated by style rather than substance...this is echoed by the popularity of the OP mentioned items.
But thank you for once again affirming my point. - and no, you don't live inside a bubble...you just wander around in a fog hoping to find something shiny.

A lemming? What an innane comment. Even Romney gave Obama credit for bin Laden.
You are clearly not capable of engaging in a serious or rational discussion of political issues.

thanks for the "case in point"............giving Obama "credit" for Osama invites neither of these

They are cute and fuzzy, though. Too bad they can't swim.

You mean like he was after Sept 2001? Sure.

To the contrary, judging by the way the right has seized on this event in Libya, it's a good thing a republican was president in 2001. I don't believe the country would have rallied around Gore. He would have been blamed for it, and crucified on Fox as a weak leader who allowed the terrorists entry and easy access to our planes, especially since it was their second attempt on the WTC. Who knows, possibly even impeached over it.

Yes, and I think that "fog" has a "kick," if you know what I mean.

Subgenius doesn't just refuse to give Obama credit for bin Laden. While I disagree, I can understand that perspective. He takes it one step further and affirmative proclaims that only a lemming would give Obama credit.

That makes him a hyperpartisan. He is incapable of engaging in political discussions in a civil and rational basis. Or in simple terms, a dick.
