1. If the Obumbler gets credit for getting Osama, then Nixon should have got the credit for landing men on the moon, not Kennedy. I don't remember Nixon or his regime taking any of the credit personally for the moon landing; and I was there.

The Intellectual Dishonesty of Nancy Pelosi
Here’s Nancy Pelosi from a press conference on September 7, 2006:
"[E]ven if [Osama bin Laden] is caught tomorrow, it is five years too late. He has done more damage the longer he has been out there. But, in fact, the damage that he has done . . . is done. And even to capture him now I don’t think makes us any safer."
And here’s Nancy Pelosi yesterday:
"The death of Osama bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida. . . . I salute President Obama, his national security team, Director Panetta, our men and women in the intelligence community and military, and other nations who supported this effort for their leadership in achieving this major accomplishment. . . . [T]he death of Osama bin Laden is historic. . . ."
This devastating then-and-now comparison comes to us courtesy of John Hideraker of Power Line. It underscores the degree to which partisanship can ravage people’s fair-mindedness and, in the process, make them look like fools and hacks. Such things aren’t uncommon in politics—but what is rare is to see such intellectual dishonesty proven so conclusively.
I'm not 100% sure that Nancy is a lying hypocrit, but she can easily be mistaken for one.
