I watched a documentary on killing Osama bin Laden. It was very informing. One thing that they bought up was the different stories being told by the White House as to just how it went down almost immediately as it happened.

The CIA director was watching in real time at a special location at CIA headquarters and actually informed the White House situation room when bin Laden was killed.

Most Americans realize we were on the brink of a total collapse at the end of Bush's term in Office. While McCain and others admitted they had no idea of what to do- #43 did the right thing-taking the advise of his experts- and bailed out the banks. Bush then deferred to Obama and he bailed out the auto industry saving an estimated 2 million U.S. jobs. We are still trying to recover from the bubble bursting in 2008.

What got us in trouble was irresponsible, easy credit-two costly wars-tax cuts that were unaffordable considering Bush was growing the cost of Government- and ADDING to the cost of Medicare by approving that unfunded drug plan. RECOVERING FROM ALL THIS IS PAINFUL and may take more than a decade. I am not blaming Bush or any ONE person, certainly Obama is not to blame for this mess, however its fair to say he hasnt been able to clean it ALL up in less than 3 years.

You offer no substance or solutions, instead you promote fear and hatred. I have come to hold your opinions in contempt. I continue to say : YOU BRING SHAME ON THE AJ.

The WASHINGTON POST did NOT say what you said-- they questioned ONLY Obamas accounting regarding the auto industry. Thats a fair comment.

You (instead) post a HATEFUL, DISRESPECTFUL, IGNORANT- heading for your rant against a sitting U.S. President !

Please dont refer to a good prayer to GOD to support your little EVIL remarks . YOU ARE WHAT HELPS TO DIVIDE OUR COUNTRY AND MAKE IT SO MUCH LESS...YOU ARE VERY ANTI AMERICA !!

As if "Mission Accomplished" wasn't a lie by Dubya. Yeah right. I was in the Rio Grande Valley when 'W' used the Bentsen State Park as a photo op to give a shallow speech on border security to a hand picked audience. And whatever happened to that dude that Dick Cheney shot in the face while on a hunting trip in South Texas?

Mr. May does his best every day to tear this country apart. I can't imagine living my life so unhappy and miserable.

Funny how the liberals here can't take a critical comment against a sitting President from a small town blogger (not to discount you, Dr. May), but you guys supported Pelosi (THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND 3RD IN LINE) when she called Bush incompetent when he was the sitting President. She said a lot of other hateful things about him, too. Seems every time she had the microphone, she couldn't help herself. All of that in a time of war when she should have known better and should have supported her President no matter what because of the office she held.

obama's a divider, plain and simple. Problem is that more than just one small-town blogger knows what's going on despite the liberal media (all of it except FoxNews) telling them different.

Funny how you Conservatives think all GOP Presidents walk on water. Small town blogger comment is good though, I like that one. If May was as important and popular as he thinks he is he would be dangerous. Fact is most folks take all this rubbish with a grain of salt and shake their heads at the vast amount of absurdity displayed here.

Bobert, We aren't in this mess because of "unfunded wars" or Medicare part D. But you are correct that the "easy credit" scenario is what started the economic downward spiral. We are in the mess because of unsustainable entitlements such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. All of those entitlement programs were the result of "progressive liberal democrats" and their social justice. Isn't the Libyan War also unfunded?

“Mission Accomplished” was posted on the USS Abraham Lincoln where President Bush landed on May 1, 2003. This aircraft carrier was returning from a 10-month combat deployment in the Persian Gulf, the longest US aircraft carrier deployment since the Vietnam War.

The “mission” of the carrier and its crew had been “accomplished” and they were returning home to the United States. The “Mission Accomplished” banner was still present when the carrier reached its homeport. The banner was a point of pride for the crew that created and posted the banner.

The Leftist attack of the “Mission Accomplished” banner of the crew of USS Abraham Lincoln is reflective of the ongoing hatred of the Left for our military.

The following is a CBS News quote:

After shifting explanations, the White House eventually said the "Mission Accomplished" phrase referred to the carrier's crew completing their 10-month mission, not the military completing its mission in Iraq.

"President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said 'mission accomplished' for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission," White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday. "And we have certainly paid a price for not being more specific on that banner. And I recognize that the media is going to play this up again tomorrow, as they do every single year."

After being landed on the deck of the carrier in an S-3B Viking 30 miles off the coast San Diego (Ari Fleischer said the president "could have helicoptered," but "he wanted to see a landing the way aviators see a landing"), Mr. Bush appeared in a flight suit to the cheers of the ship's personnel and the glare of television lights.

Later, he stood at a podium against a backdrop of an enormous banner reading "Mission Accomplished."

To the assembled audience and the world, Mr. Bush said, "Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.

"In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty, and for the peace of the world. Our nation and our coalition are proud of this accomplishment - yet it is you, the members of the United States military, who achieved it. Your courage - your willingness to face danger for your country and for each other - made this day possible. Because of you, our nation is more secure. Because of you, the tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free.

"Tonight, I have a special word for Secretary Rumsfeld, for General Franks, and for all the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States: America is grateful for a job well done."

The president himself never said "mission accomplished," but that often gets lost in the feelings over the continuing war, reports CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante.

I have been critical of the actions of Republican presidents in this blog, including Ronald Reagan not taking on Radical Islamic terrorists with serious military efforts.

President George W. Bush contributed to our current problems by leaving our borders open, instituting Medicare Part D, bailing out failing financial institutions, not correcting the problems Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac underwriting subprime home mortgages, and not making the tax cuts more substantial and permanent. The United States has the highest corporate tax rate of any nation, so it is logical for companies do business in other countries so they can remain financially competitive.

Democrats blocked Bush’s attempted investigations into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shenanigans from 2003 onward. The Democrats ridiculed Bush and Cheney and claimed that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in great financial condition.

In retrospect, Bush should have been much more aggressive in taking on the Democrats instead of trying to be nice to them.

Forget Bush -FOCUS ON What a BAD example of a CONSERVATIVE that you are, Dr. May !! You name call- with the expressed intent of disrespecting the President of the United States.

My son is a soldier fighting under the orders of his Commander in Chief, the President of the Untied States. I am guessing that means NOTHING to you, Dr. May. You only seem to enjoy warring against Americans that disagree with you.

You cause the AJ to look like a hate rag. It is shameful and a poor reflection on a great city.

“There is no vice... so contemptible; he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual...”

Thomas Jefferson

you might oughta reflect on that a while.

Your hypocrisy, and those whose you emmulate, knows no bounds eh May?

Today's blog title has got to be in the top 5 of all that May has used in his hate campaign. Of course, like the tabloid titles we see in the local supermarkets, when you read the details, there is no substance in the article, and we see that everyday in May's blog.

When May ratchets up the heat, it is because he is frustrated. Somehow, he isn't getting the attention he desires. He lost a supporter. He didn't get invited to speak at x location. He also encounters "computer glitches" in his postings or they get posted twice. May's excuses for not ever being incorrect on anything are infinite. Of course,daily he has 4.75 loyal supporters. But, more and more we are seeing casual drop-ins who "slam and run."

No one would doubt that May is qualified in his field of medicine. But, it simply takes following this blog to realize that May's understanding of economics, history, and political systems is limited. Yet, with all the bravado he can muster, May marches on--pushing the bolder up the mountain, only to have it roll back down to the bottom of the mountain each day.

I find it difficult to believe that any true American would want our country to fail. Yet everyday, we see it here on this blog--cries for something untoward to happen to our country--to ensure political party change in the next election.

May and his 4.75 fololowers are truly frustrated because they are starting to realize that the majority of Americans are not buying into the hate campaigns of the right-wing extremists. Obama will be re-elected in 2012.

And now stand by for a long series of howls, whines from the usual 4.75

obama-weiner 2012

One thing that obama didn't lie about is his desire to "spread the wealth around". He's accomplished that with the stimulus and the healthcare "reform" that will each spend $1 trillion in taxpayer money and respectively hasn't created any long-term private-sector jobs and won't do anything to reduce medical costs or health insurance premiums (does just the opposite, in fact). I guess you liberals can hang your hat on that. I do wish he would have been lying when he said that.

The liberals here are in complete denial that the voters have rejected obama's extreme socialistic legislation at a time when our nation was in recession. obama is spending $1 trillion in taxpayer money to purchase health insurance. NOT health care....but health insurance. Health insurance that will come at inflated premiums (already is) for all. New taxes and fines on small business and corporations and individuals that are not "entitled" at obama's whim to receive a pardon....err.....a waiver. He's done NOTHING that's good for the nation as a whole and he is the sole author of the unsustainable spending that we as a nation currently enjoy (ha).

Rock on, liberals! Rock on and send us further back into the stone ages with extreme socialistic policies and regulations and laws.

I, myself, will "cling to guns or religion" until the voters do their thing in 2012 and get us out of this quagmire known as democrat rule. Actually, I'll "cling" to both. And yes.....I'm "bitter".

I am the "enemy" to all hispanics according to obama because I believe that illegal immigrants are breaking the law by immigrating illegally. I am one of those ridiculous Republicans that dnc chairwoman schultz was talking about that believes illegal immigration "should in fact be a crime". Duh.

I am a right-wing extremist according to obama's right hand man.....err.....woman at the DHS. I am also a domestic terrorist according to obama's right hand man....err....woman at the DHS.

At everything sbark posted!!!!

Ditto to everything you said. I guess I am a *bitter guns and religion* person too. I find my religion very comforting, spiritually at least. It offers me no wealth and fame, only the blessing of knowing that someone higher in authority than me will give me strength to deal with the trials and travails that will surely beset each of us.

I believe I would have also acted "stupidly" if presented the same scenario as the policeman in Massachusetts when he arrested obama's black buddy professor that also happened to be writing a book about racism.

Here's another obama lie WITH typical democrat scare tactics involved re the Arizona immigration law:

"Now, suddenly, if you don’t have your papers, and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you’re going to get harassed — that’s something that could potentially happen… That’s not the right way to go."

Duh.

I guess if that mother or father with the kid pulled a gun and held up the ice cream shop and stole the money and the ice cream and got arrested and had a background check run and was found to be an illegal immigrant then that would be considered harrassment in obama's mind because that's what the law called for. But that's definitely harrassment that needs to happen.

Was obama lying here or not? Who knows? My bet would be that he was lying, although he didn't really make a point since he was off-teleprompter.

"Everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, they end up taking up a hospital bed, it costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early and they got some treatment, and a, a breathalyzer, or inhalator, not a breathalyzer. (crowd laughing) I haven't had much sleep in the last 48 hours. What they'll say is, "Well it costs too much money," but you know what? It would cost, about... It -- it -- it would cost about the same as what we would spend... It... Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us... (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We're going to... It... It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about -- hold on one second. I can't hear myself. But I'm glad you're fired up, though. I'm glad."

And I thought the democrats were saying that the Republicans were the ones that wanted all kids to die because of increases but less of an increase to CHIPS than what was in the budget......err.....I mean cuts to CHIPS.

You are clearly the hate monger in this conversation and you owe the good Dr. May an apology.
