God knows, I think we all wanted Cliven Bundy arrested a LONG time ago, but I had faith that federal law enforcement was determined to do it without bloodshed and avoid making the elder Bundy a right-wing martyr. I just found out (?! .... moves my rock and sticks my head out) that he was arrested without violence at the Portland airport on Wednesday night.

Cool patience and determination trumps righteous and impatient anger.

1. I'm happy to do that,

and I'm thrilled to have them out of there and going through the justice system.

2. I applaud Obama's FBI for minimizing loss of life

The only caveat is I wish law enforcement had cut-off both their communications AND
their re-supply routes (have a broad perimeter, with roadblocks) like on day 1-2 rather
than waiting until over a month to make that move.

But still, I can -- given how it's turned out -- overlook all that now and be happy it's
finally over, and only one guy died.

3. with all due respect....

1- You're in the African-American group, in case you didn't see that in the subject line.

2- I'm applauding CLIVEN BUNDY's arrest..... not anyone else's.

3- Can't you just say good job and let it go ?

4- We're done here. I'm pissed off.

4. I'd be happy to self-delete

as it's clear that my honest opinion is not welcome here.

Would that be your preference?

11. Good job!

5. This is an example of why I am

so happy PBO is our President. His decisions are well-reasoned and thoughtful, and I believe that he plays the long game better than any public official that I can remember. Nothing is as frightening to me as the thoughts of a hot-head in the oval office. Patience is a virtue.

Thanks for the thread, steve2470.

7. I was delighted to see Cliven Bundy and the Vanilla Isis crew that

occupied the bird sanctuary arrested. Props to the Justice Dept. and Oregon State Police for a job well done. We are all better off with that bunch of deadbeats and wack jobs in jail.

8. YES!

9. good riddance

To that white supremacist clown Bundy and his seed. Our POTUS is strong in the sense he uses reason when confronted with idiots. I wanted him to go in guns blazing in the first standoff precisely because of the fool on the overpass with the sniper rifle. I WAS WRONG....those who counseled patience were right. I hope Bundy and his seed end up in prison

15. I really hope they catch that guy with the sniper rifle, that was really horrible

They know what he looks like, so it should be possible to track him down.

12. Mahalo, steve!

So thankful for President Obama and his calm, cool, effective demeanor that is so important in a POTUS.

[steve2470]

14. I completely agree

He saw the long-term, and he acted upon it. He won, they lost, and the American people won! Best wishes to you and your family!

16. Mahalo Steve, the very best wishes to you and your family.
