This is Wrong on so many fronts....Firstly it is totally Divisive....How dare Obama suggest that Romney would not have done the same thing....Believe Me if Obama would authorize going after bin Laden then anyone would....He's so weak that if he would make that decision it means anyone...even his daughter would have made the same decision...AND if it hadn't been for Bush's tactics with the terrorists in Gitmo Obama wouldn't have had the information he needed to find bin Laden...

Then to have Clinton do the naration on the ad is also amazing...he's the guy that let bin Laden get out of his grasp when he was President.....

And now NBC ( the state-run media of all state-run media ) will run a piece from the situation room....more political posturing..,,,more lying to the American People...more trying to make something out of a four year term as a President that haas been all but a total FAILURE....

I have faith in the American People however....they have said that Obama made the right decision on bin Laden (but anyone would have), but they will see right through this political rhetoric....

Barack if you want some real credit....fix the economy....get us out of debt....make America secure....drill for more oil to get our gas prices down....downsize the federal government....repeal your precious Obamacare....support capitalism...and stop being a socialist and a Muslim supporter....

Do that and you will get some credit and some RESPECT....




Obama campaign defends bin Laden ad, as Romney adviser slams 'divisive' video


Published April 29, 2012 FoxNews.com


President Obama's reelection campaign on Sunday stood by its controversial web video which questioned whether Mitt Romney would have approved the Usama bin Laden raid -- as a top Romney adviser accused the president of twisting a unifying moment into a "divisive, partisan, political attack."

That video, released Friday, featured Bill Clinton touting Obama's role in directing the raid that resulted in bin Laden's death last May. But it went a step further, and suggested Romney would not have made the same call.

Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs, the former White House press secretary, said Sunday the ad was "fair game."

"I don't think it's clear that (Romney) would," Gibbs said, when asked whether Romney would have green-lighted the mission.

"Usama bin Laden no longer walks on this planet today because of that brave decision (by Obama) and the brave actions by the men and women in our military -- and quite frankly Mitt Romney said it was a foolish thing to do a few years ago," Gibbs said, in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"Maybe the comments he made a few years ago he admits are wrong, or he's flip-flopped on yet another issue," Gibbs added.

The Obama campaign is referring to a quote from Romney who once said, "it's not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person."

But Republicans describe the new web video as preposterous.

"I think most Americans will see it as a sign of a desperate campaign," Romney adviser Ed Gillespie said, speaking on the same program as Gibbs.

Gillespie said it's legitimate for Obama to say he's "proud" of the bin Laden raid -- with the one-year anniversary of that raid approaching this week. But Gillespie objected to the implication that Romney would not have made the same decision, calling the move "divisive."

"I can't envision, having served in the White House, any president having been told 'we have him, he's here, you know, should we go in,' saying, 'no we shouldn't'," Gillespie said. "This is an attack on something that might have not happened."

The campaign video was no outlier in the Obama campaign's emerging reelection message.

Vice President Biden, in a speech Thursday, suggested a new bumper sticker read: "Usama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive."

He went on to question Romney's strength as a leader in that context, a day before the campaign released the web video.

"You have to ask yourself, if Gov. Romney had been president, could he have used the same slogan -- in reverse? People are going to make that judgment. It's a legitimate thing to speculate on," Biden said.

Democratic strategist Jehmu Greene told Fox News on Sunday that the question "highlights" what she described as Romney's shortcomings on decisive leadership.

"This proves President Obama does have a lot more weight and carries a lot more weight in this area," she said.

But GOP strategist Nancy Pfotenhauer told Fox News the video "politicizes something that shouldn't have been politicized" and signals how "nasty" the 2012 campaign will become.
