Get ready for it. Lefties are already crowing about how the killing of Bin Laden boosts Obama’s bonafides on national defense.

“President Barack Obama earned “high marks” Sunday from former Vice President Dick Cheney for the operation that killed Osama bin Laden – a thaw that underscores the difficulty Republicans face in challenging Obama’s defense credentials in 2012.”

We’re all glad that Obama did what any president would have done and given the order to get Bin Laden. That’s the important fact remember, ANY president would have given the order so that giving the order isn’t at all special. Nevertheless his defenders such as the Obama Apologetic (Aka The Politico), will continue to throw up the facade.

The only problem of course is that 2012 won’t be about national defense, that’s what it was last decade. It will be about the economy, the new national security threat and from what we’ve seen so far he hasn’t a clue of how to defend – and indeed he has contributed to – the new threat to the nation – economic collapse.

The Politico piles it on, better than…..Carter? Really?
