Sarah Palin credits Bush for Osama bin Laden's death, omits Obama's name

Speaking at a fundraising event Monday evening, Sarah Palin credited President Bush by name for the death of Osama bin Laden but omitted the name of President Obama in her remarks.

Palin spoke to a crowd at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, Colo. “Yesterday was a testament to the military’s dedication in relentlessly hunting down an enemy through many years of war,” the former Alaska governor said. “And we thank our president. ... We thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory.”

Palin, who says she has not yet decided whether she will mount a presidential run later this year, first offered a statement on Facebook in the wake of the news of Bin Laden’s death. That didn’t mention Obama either.

Others who didn't give credit to Obama in remarks about Bin Laden's death were Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania — although Huckabee did mention the president’s name.

2. I think lots of right wingers think some soldiers just happened to find him
instead of paying any attention to how this really went down.

7. Bush wasn't President when 9-11 happened, and now he was President
when bin Laden was killed. They all crack me up.
