Where’s the Media Credit to Bush?

Ignorance?

What fact do I have wrong when I say....

Bush didn't get him.

Obama did.

Funny!

But I'd still give him credit for building up the team and fighting the right fight (in Afghanistan, that is).

After the WRONG fight in Iraq?

Pelosi thanks President Bush for his role in bin Laden's demise
By Molly K. Hooper - 05/03/11 05:08 PM ET

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said she called former President George W. Bush on Tuesday to congratulate him on the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden.

Following a classified briefing on the operation to take down bin Laden, Pelosi told reporters that she called the former president earlier in the day to "congratulate him and thank him for the leadership role he had played in this quest over the years."

WOW! :thumbsup:

There you have it.

I'm not much of a Pelosi fan....which maybe is why my first thought was she was trying to rub salt in the wound?

Not rubbing salt in the wound, just giving credit where it is due. Making Obama look like the Lone Ranger and mastermind behind the capture is a bit silly considering the the clues took many years to come together (and none of the real work was done by either president.)

And trying to give credit to someone who was asleep at the wheel for 7 years, (except for starting two unnecessary wars, shredding the Constitution with warrantless spying on US citizens, blowing the budget, taking a surplus and turning it into a $4 TRILLION debt, and destroying 8 million jobs) is a joke.

Why is it so difficult to acknowledge the efforts of another? Why is it so important to belittle? Being generous in praise whether deserved or questionably deserved comes at so little cost, yet the person giving it grows in stature in the eyes of others. It takes an individual who is secure in who they are, knowing that giving praise to another will not undermine their importance in the very least.

Oh well, people will be who they will be. That is why the great leaders offer praise and the wanta-bes hog the limelight for themselves afraid that their glow will otherwise fade.
