It really is three dimensional chess!

[DontTreadOnMe]

Obama is not going to release the photos...

Sarah Palin is going nutz!

How many more will DEMAND to see... until it is a campaign issue!

The "Bin Laden Capture is a Hoax" will be in full swing!

Then the photos will be released 1 month before the election...


Is the GOP really setting themselves up for it... again?

1. 'Deathers' are probably going to shape up to be a bit like 'Truthers'

There will be lots of people of all political stripes, all over the world, who will buy into it.

2. I think that they are in full-blown panic mode

They are trying to throw anything and everything at him to try to drag his poll numbers down and hoping something works. Of course, most people (those not on the fringe) are glad that Osama is dead and I don't think they much care about how, when, or why it happened. All people know (and care about) is that Osama is gone (dead) and Obama is the one who ordered the operation.

3. Oh yes they are!

And the idiots will not accept DNA either, because they are idiots.

4. Not only that but they are keeping the issue in the forefront so it will

not be easily forgotten. Go idiots go.

5. People in the GOP, like Palin, need violence to continue in the Middle East.

It is how they roll. Then they can commiserate with their followers when America is attacked and don't ya know those democrats are soft on de-fence.

6. It might be what happens but the plan may not have hatched yet

If the teabagging deathers keep up the screaming it may force the White House to release the photos. I think Obama released the long birth certificate because Trump was screaming and sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

Politics is always evolving in accordance with the situational dynamics. There may be long term plans but those probably tend to fall apart because nothing stays static in politics, except for the politics as usual thing. That pretty much stays the same all the time.

7. He's Determining The Battlefields...

Last week they were pissed at him for releasing his long-form birth certificate when they weren't expecting it. The birfers and Trump were seen as the fools they are and their big issue all but vanished over night. Now they're screaming for the bin Laden death photos. And President Obama say No...and the right wing will throw a shitfit cause he didn't dance to their tune.

I applaud this move as we're sure to hear the right wing keep harping about this that will keep it as a campaign issue and make this President, once again, look the adult vs. the tantrums being thrown by the GOTB two-year olds. Also while he didn't release the gruesome death pictures, it doesn't mean other pictures won't be released...such as the raid on the compound or the burial at sea. I could see these being released next year when the current scutiny eases and the political atmosphere changes. Let the wingnuts try to go from being birfers into deathers...when this President is ready to lower the boom he will.

8. Rope-a-dope!

Honestly, he's TACTICALLY the best President we've had
