i was at ground zero the day after his death.. it was busier than usual. A little crazy, actually a pretty cool experience. Anyway what I really think is important is how ridiculous our nations response was toward the death of Osama. I mean where did the feelings really come from nobody really cared for the last 8 years. Another 5 years would we have had the same responce

The obligatory political homage to ground 0, how quaint of ObomberBush. At least ObomberBush had the chutzpah to invite G.W. Bush, nothing like rubbing Bush’s face in shit with the veiled meaning, I got him dead, and OBL defeated the USG while you, Bush, was president inflicting the greatest military defeat in world history in the 1 day War of 911. Bush, ever the coward declined the invitation, because god told him so.
