A Ricochet writer of the conservative persuasion was approached by an Obama worker going door-to-door looking to get out the pro-Obama vote. There was an interesting interaction with the apparently resigned Obama worker, and the Ricochet writer got an Obama flyer (at right, click to enlarge).
The points on the flyer are the same old tired Obama campaign talking points. The last one, though, is downright appalling: read literally, it claims that Obama personally killed Osama bin Laden.
Not “As Commander-In-Chief, directed our awesome warriors to carry the sword of justice to Osama bin Laden”.
Not “Authorized Special Forces operation that killed Osama bin Laden”.
Not “Proudly directed Special Forces to kill Osama bin Laden”.
Nope.
Just “Killed Osama bin Laden”. Personally.
I cringe, thinking about how that looks to the Special Forces operators who actually did kill Osama bin Laden.
I cringe, thinking about how that looks to any veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces. Like me.
I cringe, thinking about how that looks to any American. Like me.
Remember this when you vote in November...
