If they hired him without knowing his history of Tweets and such then they're terrible at their jobs. He hadn't exactly been hiding it.

The optics with the military vehicles right behind him and stuff gave a very "mission accomplished" vibe.

When do we get the pics of Kabul hookers?

You're free to write the guvement a big check, just go for it.

SAVED FOR ETERNITY.....nothing else need be stated

You saw it this week and Bush in 2004. It is almost impossible for the challenger to have as big stage as the President. The postion of office and the pageantry of it along with a talented candidate is a huge hurdle. The debates are really the only close thing to a level playing field.

The fact is Mitt needs to step up his game. He needs to be able to slow jam the news with Jimmy Fallon.

When you're a liberal and you've lost Dana Milbank, you're in a heap o' trouble.

The preezy of the United Steezy is making me queasy.

I’m not troubled by President Obama’s slow jam with Jimmy Fallon, who dubbed the commander in chief “preezy” during Obama’s appearance on late-night TV. No, preezy is making me queasy because his nonstop campaigning is looking, well, sleazy — and his ad suggesting that Mitt Romney wouldn’t have killed Osama bin Laden is just the beginning of it.

He's a humorist with a daily column that occasionally glances on a political issue, not a political writer who's occasionally funny. I read everything the guy writes in the Post, and enjoy him 90% of the time, but to suddenly take umbrage at the President's politicking or lack of seriousness smacks a little of opportunism.

It is demeaning to the Presidency to go on Jimmy Fallon, though, just like basically anything on TV other than a speech is demeaning. But we live in a hyper-visual age with an incredibly power Presidency, so it is what it is.

U.S. Navy SEALs slam Obama for using them as 'ammunition' in bid to take credit for bin Laden killing during election campaign

A serving SEAL Team member said: ‘Obama wasn’t in the field, at risk, carrying a gun. As president, at every turn he should be thanking the guys who put their lives on the line to do this. He does so in his official speeches because he speechwriters are smart.

‘But the more he tries to take the credit for it, the more the ground operators are saying, “Come on, man!” It really didn’t matter who was president. At the end of the day, they were going to go.’

Chris Kyle, a former SEAL sniper with 160 confirmed and another 95 unconfirmed kills to his credit, said: ‘The operation itself was great and the nation felt immense pride. It was great that we did it.

‘But bin Laden was just a figurehead. The war on terror continues. Taking him out didn’t really change anything as far as the war on terror is concerned and using it as a political attack is a cheap shot.

‘In years to come there is going to be information that will come out that Obama was not the man who made the call. He can say he did and the people who really know what happened are inside the Pentagon, are in the military and the military isn’t allowed to speak out against the commander- in-chief so his secret is safe.’

Hear that? That's laughter from Chicago every time commentator/pol denounces Obama for politicizing his SUCCESSFUL OPERATION TO KILL OBL.
