I think now would be an appropriate time to say thank you to President Barack Obama.
In comparison to his immediate predecessor his success in bringing the world's most wanted terrorists and dictators to justice has been nothing short of remarkable.
In fact the contrast speaks for itself.
Recall that George W. Bush launched a war with Iraq that cost us one trillion dollars and thousands of US lives. Obama launched an offensive against Qaddafi that cost one billion dollars and lost no US lives.
And for once the Arab would is thanking us by dancing in the streets rather than on our nation's flag.
Obama has rid the world of the scourge of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi. And all of this was accomplished within six months: if Obama were a Republican, they'd be commissioning bronze statues by now.
You know they won't say it now or ever, so let's say it for them: thank you President Obama for making the world and the United States safer.

The Muslim Brotherhood will take over Libya just like they are doing in Egypt and the rest of the Islamic countries in the middle east. Obama is such a glory hound.

He is a paper tiger. The Muslim Brotherhood is taking over Egypt and will take over Libya as well and the rest of the Islamic countries. He has had a U.S. postage stamp made honoring the Muslim faith. I have seen it !! Some guy !!

Young angus I am a common man It's not the trailer park that's the problem.It's the common man/woman who live in these parks that do not realise that the good old party of no want to leave them their and make their rich buddies richer.

Barack Obama campaigned as the "Peace candidate" in 2008, but President Obama has escalated the endless War in Afghanistan, extended it into Pakistan, ramped up the Drone war, ratcheted up sanctions on Iran, kept Guantanamo up and running, and appears before the world completely impotent and spineless on Israel-Palestine after a promising start. There is, I suppose, an obvious domestic payoff to this approach: by tilting so heavily to the right-wing, neocon status quo, he's pretty much taken foreign policy off the table in the 2012 campaign. The GOP candidates can carp in various ways, but there's very little difference between their views and his policies.

I'm no fan of "O" but the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the right wing and their refusal to even consider giving him credit for ANYTHING is becoming comical. I'm shaking my head in laughter at the snarling comments from the Tea freaks and the GOPissants. Talk about pathetic. And Katiemac, if Obama is what you call pro-gay, you must think Maggie Gallagher is a leftie out to make homosexuality acceptable; the very thought reveals total insanity on your part.

Thank you Cahir! I am a veteran of WW11 & the Korean War. I am glad that Obama has decided to withdraw American troop from Iraq because anybody with even normal intelligence can see it is a political step by him because of his 43% popularity. I have been talking to many veterans who served over in Iraq & Afghanistan and dispise this man. Have you heard that now at Veterans funerals when the U.S. flaq is offered to the closet relative it is now presented to them from the Secretary of Defense instead of the President?
O how much Obama loves our Military veterans or even the ones serving today.

@seanomelbourne Trailer park? Are you the bankers' toady, looking down on the less fortunate? Your liberal sense of superiority and contempt for the common man is showing. Actually, if you ever attended a Tea Party meeting you would find the people there much like yourself, not quite as intelligent, of course, and a bit less caring, but basically much the same.

The teahadists will never give Obama the credit he deserves.The GOP is driven by hate and racism they are more interested in how many guns they own,God,homophobia or other people's right to pregnancy termination. What an inbred lot they are they need to leave their trailer parks and have a good look around.

Mr. O'Doherty...take your head out of the sand or wherever else it may be at this moment...BOB is a disgrace in so many areas that it would take a whole column plus to list them. This is the greatest Country in the world and as long as he sits in the Oval Office only God Himself can save us for BOB is personally dedicated to destroying the same Country that his church minister, Mr. Wright, asked God to damn...forgotten? Please look at ALL the facts. Thank you.
