Very true, and is not debatable.
For the record, there is no O or T, but there is a common reference of W for Bush Jr. What is being missed is the years of work done under Bush Jr. which clearly laid all the groundwork for Obama to do what was done and take credit when he did not deserve it. The credit belongs to Bush Jr., in large part, with a small part belonging to Obama for making the very obvious decision to execute the plan to take out a terrorist that was a threat to this country.
Also, that article is a very well-crafted story that needs fact-checking to ensure it is accurate.

Was Obama's team badass, including his staff up and down, all the way from Admiral McRaven to CIA spooks, and did Obama's staff deserve credit? Absolutely. Did Republicans succeed at anything at all in the Bin Laden takedown? Nope, they accomplished exactly jack shit. I defy you to prove otherwise. I will not stand for you taking credit from where credit is due and giving that same credit to clowns. dubya was a second order clown short a couple of neurons in his cerebral cortex, only surpassed in idiocy by the first order clown and blowhard braggart diarrhea of the mouth Orange Clown who would've fucked up the mission 27 different ways. Like i said, the Orange Clown couldn't keep even a surprise birthday party at the WH under wraps, never mind the Bin Laden takedown op.
i'm not anti-Republican. i think Lincoln was a bad ass president, and he was definitely a Republican. Although on policy I mostly disagreed with him, I would agree that Reagan had many admirable accomplishments and showed true leadership. Bush 41 was, imo, basically a success story, and I admired his decision not to go all the way to Baghdad. So I'm not attacking Republicans because they are Republicans, but only the clown presidents in the Republican party.
