Dem Rep. and New DNC Chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz Wastes No Time Politicizing Bin Laden Death…
More pettiness, how about rejoicing in a victory for America?
(The Hill) — The incoming chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) said President Obama deserves credit for the killing on Sunday of Osama bin Laden.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) praised Obama and specifically credited Obama for “refocusing” U.S. efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which Wasserman Schultz asserted led to bin Laden’s death.
“President Obama’s leadership in making the targeting of Osama Bin Laden our highest military and intelligence priority, warrants our gratitude,” Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. “He deserves credit for refocusing U.S. efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan to root out terrorism which no doubt helped lead to this historic announcement.”
In her role as DNC chairwoman, an office which Wasserman Schultz is set to formally assume this week, the Florida lawmaker is charged with building political support for Obama.
Most lawmakers and political figures in both parties have so far avoided overt politicking after bin Laden’s death was announced. Republican presidential candidates eschewed politics and instead offered their congratulations to Obama and to members of the military and intelligence agencies, though a few candidates did not mention Obama specifically.
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus, the GOP counterpart to Wasserman Schultz, struck a note of unity in his statement.
“This achievement is a reminder that the United States will continue in its pursuit of freedom and defense of liberty despite any adversity,” he said. “Our nation was forever changed on that day. It is important to note that despite some of our differences, Americans are and forever will be on the side of freedom.”

hOW ABOUT YOU BEATING HER TO IT BY CLAIMING oBAMA TRIED TO TAKE CREDIT FOR IT ALL -
i LIKED THIS SITE…NOW i HATE YOU ASSHOLES.
fUCK YOU
Keep up the good work, Deb. I’m sure you’ll work wonders for the dems in the next election because the majority of Americans aren’t now fully aware of you and your party’s self-serving pettiness and power lust. November didn’t prove that at all …
Let’s also give him credit for the most American soldiers killed in Afghanistan/Pakistan during his reign, Debbie. Our military intelligence/special ops got OBL IN SPITE OF THE INEPTNESS AND DISINTEREST OF THIS ADMINISTRATION.
Our military got OBL in spite of the white flag hoisted by the Dhims 8 years ago.
Our military got OBL in spite of stupid ROE’s and stupid leaders like Gates.
If this was a kill operation it was only because you-know-who needed the attention off the economy, ME meltdown, $5.00 gas, poor US credit rating, etc.
Bush didn’t have the capcity to have done this. Obama has proven his leadership. Now I’m sure all the ideologs, bigots, racists tea baggers head’s are exploding. YEA, YEA, YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gee, I predicted that barry would try to claim credit the minute I heard the news! I must be some kind of an asshole!
Thank you to the brave Navy SEALS who stormed that Hell Hole and took out that freak of nature.
And thank you to all our brave troops who have to operate in that theatre under the insane ROE imposed by barry and his ilk!
@silverdog, get back on your medication before the asylum attendants at take away your internet privileges.
@ Pat4Life – “racist tea baggers”
Several hundred years ago, ignorant, irrational fools, who are incapable of logical, analytical, and critical thought, used to yell “Witch”, now they yell “Racist”.
The adults are using WZ. Go back to the 17th century or better yet, go hang out at the daily kos.
The FACE of the democratic party!
They had him in their sights but the Bush admin let him go! Now Pres Obama corrected a huge error that he made. can you say 2nd term!!!!
As much as I hate Obama, he does come off looking better, at this moment, than Bush, when Bush said (referring to Bin Laden), “I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.”
Fortunately, this not October, 2012.
Dear Ms. Schultz; I am a former dem, I give 1000% credit to the US military and to the intelligence services, when GWB was president, I still gave them full credit, more than GWB.
I will give GWB more credit than the fraud because at the very least I don’t ever remember GWB trying to take credit for something the armed forces did. Even that banner on the ship, GWB spoke on the ship, but he praised over and over again the troops.
The fact the DNC is making this about Obama, who I was hoping would show some class, just now has solidfied my opinion on how small and petty of a man this is, and how classless my former party has become.
To think that our president put on a uniform and stormed into bin Laden’s mansion guns blazing is so heartwarming. Thank you Obama – you deserve the credit for the way you have faced danger and shot your brother like that.
he won’t get a second term as long as gas is 5 bucks a gallon
and inflation eating our dollars up.
suck on that.
Two things-whats up with wasserman’s eyes? and she looks like she spends too much time in the basement, get out and get some sun lady!

You’ve gotta stop getting your “news” from HBO and Comedy Central.
And if his campaign wankers decide to use this as some sort of soapbox in 2012 it just will NOT go over as well as they stupidly believe it will with the American people … or the US military.
And as sally has pointed out above, the American people are not going to be looking at a dead terrorist but the prices at the pump and on the shelves of the grocery store.
But you democrat party-on.
@ sally, Maggie
There are so many reasons why barry should not get a 2nd term. But if I were him, I would not even run, because once the Republicans take over the Senate, the probability of impeachment arises. barry has broken and defied the law in so many instances; GM Bankruptcy, offshore oil injunction, suing Arizona, submitting forged documents, dropping the NBP case……
And now this!

barry: biggest con ever foisted upon the American people.
Law of averages…
UBL could not hide for ever…
Sooner or later he was going to get it…
obama was lucky it was on his watch…
obama wanted to close down gitmo..
one question obama why kill him ? He could have been taken alive how much info did we loose ?
We all know who the heroes are in this story – the men and women of our armed forces. Wasserman has nothing of value to share. She might take a lesson, though, from Colin Powell’s Leadership Primer (Lesson #9, in particular). See: http://bit.ly/j0Kpad
…oh, BTW…..BHO is a cheap charlatan…
No, he doesn’t. The credit belongs to no one but the men of SEAL Team Six who carried out this heroic raid.
This Jew. Needs a new hair stylist asap
“one question obama why kill him ? He could have been taken alive how much info did we loose ?”
Uh…where do you live? Could you imagine the nightmare, the courts, the prisons, etc etc etc.Would be a complete nightmare. Get out of your coma lol
Just think…what a nightmare it is dealing with Gitmo animals and all the legal bs with that. Now add Poppa Bear to that…. please..go swim in some cold water and wake the fuck up.
Funny how it is so bad to torture these bastards but as long as you kill them it’s all good. Don’t get me wrong, I like these kinds of military tribunals but I can’t stand the hypocrisy that comes from these fools.
Enhanced interrogation techniques are not good because you are hurting these POS mentally but you can shoot and blow them up with Predator Drones all day long? WTF?!?!
1) I am not an anti-semite. But have you ever heard this JAP (jewish am-princess) speak? The term shrill has a new face. She could be talking about a soft puppy, and you’d want to eat a bullet by the 3rd sentence. Chalkboard bad! The new face of the donks? Puh-f’ng-leeze. Since I’m in petty mode…quit getting the free hairdo at the local high school beauty class. Who does your make-up? Earl Shieb?
