I saw a number of posts like the one from Mark Steyn, but I have to say, even with the bar set very high, Jennifer Rubin has one of the dumbest talking points of all time:
It’s hard to imagine the sense of relief and satisfaction George W. Bush must feel, after weathering undeserved and vicious criticism throughout his presidency, to see American deliver justice to the greatest evil-doer of them all. It is also regrettable, but not unexpected, that President Obama would mention Bush only in passing and fail to specifically credit him with eight years of tireless work that contributed to this victory.
The same George W. Bush who two years after 9/11 was quoted as saying “I don’t think much about Bin Laden.”
The same George W. Bush who said, “Well, we were attacked by a group out of Afghanistan so let’s invade Iraq because my ‘gut’ tells me Sadaam had something to do with this.” The same George W. Bush who had 7 years and couldn’t find OBL. The right’s biggest problem now is that echo chamber has dug in so hard they can never accept that Obama might do anything well, and as a result, their spin has gotten sloppier and sloppier.
