May 05, 2011: Media conservatives are insisting that George W. Bush deserves as much credit as President Obama for the death of Osama Bin Laden, if not more. However, making this argument means ignoring what the Bush administration itself reportedly called its “gravest error” — not capturing bin Laden at Tora Bora in 2001 — and Bush’s 2002 statement that he was “not concerned” about bin Laden.

This is also in stark contrast to their usual attacks that Obama is responsible for things that are happening during his presidency, including those tied to Bush-era policies like the Gulf oil spill, the weak economy, and the nation’s deficit problems. [ READ MORE ]

The Big Picture: December 9, 2011

TIM MAK: The human rights group Amnesty International called on Canadian authorities Wednesday to arrest former President George W. Bush when he attends an economic summit in the province of British Columbia next week.

The group accused Bush of “responsibility for crimes under international law including torture.”

Amnesty International asked that Canada either prosecute or extradite Bush for violations that they allege took place during the CIA’s secret detention program between 2002 and 2009. The organization wrote a 1,000 page memorandum addressed to Canadian authorities to make the case for human rights violations by the 43rd president.

“Canada is required by its international obligations to arrest and prosecute former President Bush given his responsibility for crimes under international law including torture,” Susan Lee, Americas Director at Amnesty International, said in a statement. [ READ MORE ]

MMFA: In the wake of President Obama’s announcement that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan, Media Matters looks back at conservative media who attacked Obama’s commitment to fighting terrorism. Since his election in 2008, right-wing media figures have repeatedly suggested that Obama is weak on terror and that he is not serious about defending America from terrorism threats.

CLASSIC FOX ANTI-OBAMA BIAS: Fox’s Napolitano Wonders If Gov’t. Is “Telling The Truth” About Bin Laden Or “Pulling A Fast One To Save Obama’s Lousy Presidency“

And, they are trying their darn hardest to heap ALL credit on Bush at the expense of Obama. Bush, a criminal who should face judgement at the ICC for crimes against humanity, may deserve some credit, — which is totally negated by the criminal killings he caused in Iraq.

This has not stopped Republicans, who are leaving Obama out altogether in the “credit game” — instead piling it all on Bush, and using Bin Laden’s death to justify Bush’s criminal waterboarding and Gitmo detentions. Some who gathered Sunday night outside of the Dallas-area community where Bush lives with his wife Laura, apparently had a similar thought: They posted a sign on the gate that read, “Obama forgot to say…THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BUSH.”

President Obama deserves FULL credit for capturing and killing Bin Laden, in any case his presidency has been hopelessly bogged down by results of the destructive policies of Bush’s arrogant and imbecilic eight year regime of theft and racist graft.

In killing Osama Bin Laden, Obama has demonstrated clear and decisive leadership, unlike Bush who failed to do so at Tora Bora and then claimed Bin Laden wasn’t a priority.

“I truly am not that concerned about him,” Bush said at a White House press conference on March 13, 2002. And of course the following March, he shifted America’s focus to Iraq, which proved to be a gigantic diversion.

Obama has “accomplished the mission,” unlike Bush who stupidly hang a huge banner on an aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln (after landing on it dressed in a pilot’s combat uniform [ which he never wore in battle ]) claiming “mission accomplished,” only to see Iraq explode into beastly violence.

Unlike Bush, Obama avoided stupid Texas-Cowboy chants like “bring ‘em on!,” instead the president has at all times exuded “dignified restraint,” in directing the manhunt which finally brought Bin Laden to justice. Obama has been in charge all along, while Bush “cowboy bamboozled” a bloodthirsty right-wing America.

As Dan Froomkin of The Huffington Post notes — Obama succeeded where bush failed, again and again.

Bush’s brain, Karl Rove filled in for the hate-monger Rush Limbaugh on the radio the other day — a total disaster. This criminal should stick to his day job over at Fox.

On Friday, Rush had high hopes for his buddy. “Almost everybody who has guest-hosted this program ends up with their own show, so I wonder how long it will be before Karl has his,” said Limbaugh.

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz recaps Karl Rove’s incompetence as a fill-in for Rush Limbaugh during his radio show Monday morning:

There was a lot of the sickening right wing presidential ego stroking going over on Sean Hannity’s show the other night. WAR CRIMINAL Karl Rove was talking about who could run for president in 2012. Then Sean KLANnity weighed in and ……then it just went downhill from there.

Even cockamamie Newt Gingrich, the utterly racist, philandering goon, is eyeing 2012, having raised nearly $3.5 million in the past three months.
