re: #24 Killgore Trout

Meh. My issue with the ad is that we’re supposed to pretend to not understand the context of what Mitt was talking about and that he didn’t want to capture/kill Bin Laden. However, I very happy with Obama’s war on terror and he’s made excellent use of drones. The ad might be politically effective but I’m not impressed.

The banner going forward into the campaign: HE FUCKING KILLED BIN LADEN.

I don’t know that I want to give Mitt a pass on this. I don’t know what he would have done. But I do know that Bush failed at the task, and then backed away from it, and Mitt missed any chance he had to distance himself from that.

Political mismanagement.

Obama went and did it.
