The narrator in the ad is former President Bill Clinton.

This latest ad contradicts President Obama's own pledge after he took out bin Laden. "You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies," Obama told CBS soon after the terrorist mastermind had been taken out. He added: "Americans and people around the world are glad that he's gone. But we don't need to spike the football."

With the Obama campaign's latest ad, it's pretty safe to say that the president is now OK with "trot[ting] out this stuff" and "spik[ing] the football," as long as it helps him get reelected.

Spikes the football, and jumps the shark. And we also know that the management of the UBL take-down was not his.

LMBO!
The Demwits say Mitt Romney is too hawkish, but then say he would not have gone after Bin Laden??? They just can't have it both ways, so which is it! lol!

On top of that, there is absolutely no basis whatsoever for the outrageous claim that Mitt Romney would not have given the go ahead, which is all
Odumbo did!

Odumbo can't run on his record, so he will continue to run FROM it!

Obama 'got' UBL about as much as FDR planted the flag on Iwo Jima. I get damned sick of politicians taking credit for acts they weren't personally involved in. I also get sick of politicians that refuse to take credit for acts they WERE personally involoved in, e.g., John Edwards, "Bozo Bill" Clinton, etc.

All this actually does is make me want to vote for the person who actually authorized the action, Leon Pannetta.
