They still think Obama is soft on terrorism...Fox News airs a GOP debate and no serious contender shows up...Paul Ryan wants to end Medicare and has other crazy ideas for the economy, and the rest of the Republican party is left with not much to add to the discussion. Politics is serious business, and people like Trump are just there for the media to boost their ratings.Sarah Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106899188121145811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-24312534871545089262011-05-06T14:57:35.045-07:002011-05-06T14:57:35.045-07:00good work Obamagood work ObamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-5042457582192299822011-05-04T14:34:57.383-07:002011-05-04T14:34:57.383-07:00Anyone who can silence Donald Trump will get my vo...Anyone who can silence Donald Trump will get my vote.arielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-31870003701752183672011-05-03T22:23:20.878-07:002011-05-03T22:23:20.878-07:00Instead of keeping his 'dead or alive' pro...Instead of keeping his 'dead or alive' promise to get Bin Laden, Bush went went into Iraq and got Saddam Hussein instead. Obama made a campaign promise in 2007 and kept his word. It was a gutsy decision, and you can bet Republicans would be blaming him and cheering his misfortune.<br /><br />It is incredible that Obama kept a cool head leading up to this, doing his comedy and everything at the Correspondents Dinner. The interesting part, it looked like Obama was having a good time, laughing at jokes made at his expense by Seth Meyers, while Trump looked so serious, it looked like he wanted to kill someone.<br /><br />It all proves that not only does Obama have a good sense of humor, he's able to be calm under pressure. Trump on the other hand, has no sense of humor, and he can't laugh at himself because the truth hurts. When a comedian points out the ignorance of Trumps actions, the audience is laughing at him, and not with him. When the jokes were directed at Obama, the audience was laughing along with him.Elliot Firestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16019466174066786185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-19637172797383671262011-05-03T19:09:37.984-07:002011-05-03T19:09:37.984-07:00Don't mess with the Donald...He'll be back...Don't mess with the Donald...He'll be back.rebelwithacausehttp://www.wral.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-22659850483397850122011-05-03T17:08:33.861-07:002011-05-03T17:08:33.861-07:00Obama took a big risk and deserves credit.

Obama can take credit of a job that should have been done long ago, and of course it gives a boost to his 2012 chances. But the crowd gathered at the White House last night didn't care about politics or parties, there was a sense of relief that this chapter in history is closed.
