Eleven years ago today the worst terrorist attack on US soil happened. It took almost a decade to kill bin Laden. George Bush promised to bring Al Qaeda and bin Laden to justice:
Six months later:
Barack Obama promises to find Osama bin Laden:
And he did just that:
So stick that in your pipe and suck it Palin, O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, and Coulter!

September 11, 2001
I remember that day very well. I was working at the Mayo Clinic at the time. I began my shift at 9 am Central time and I had stepped off the city bus at Mayo. I stopped in the cafeteria to get some toast, ate that then took the elevator up to the 6th floor of Methodist hospital. I said good morning to fellow workers, swiped in at the time clock and began my shift.
Two minutes later Penny runs in and says "you won't believe this but a plane just flew into the World Trade Center". I was stunned. I went and turned on the radio and there were reports that not only the Trade Center was hit, but so was the Pentagon and a plane went down in Pennsylvania. A co-worker then said "we need to pray". So we all joined hands and prayed.
I asked a co-worker named Jim who would do this and he said it was Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden orchestrated the attacks, he heard it on FOX radio. Then one of the Doctors came in and said there is a story going around that Al-Qaeda had a hit list and Mayo was #7. I wasn't sure if it was true but I called my parents to let them know in case they heard it. I wanted them to hear it from me.
At break time I went down to the cafeteria. There were at least 50 people crowded around the TV. All day I was on edge, was the United States at war? Is Al-Qaeda going to do more damage. At noon the Clinic closed the doors temporarily of the Plummer building in memory of the victims. The last time that ever happened? November 22, 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated.
When I left work, I sped home. I know I was exceeding the speed limit. Before I left I did call my parents again to let them know the rumor about Mayo being on the hit list was unfounded.
I stopped at home, grabbed a bite and headed to church. I got an e-mail from the pastor saying there were going to be special services because of the terrorist attacks. So I went, and I prayed. And prayed. And cried.
In the days and weeks follow the attacks, I went from disbelief to outrage to depressed. I guess a lot of others were the same way.
I still blame George Bush Jr for 9/11. Clinton may not have gotten Bin Laden but he made more of an effort and might have actually gotten him if the Republican controlled Congress hadn't hamstringed him by cutting the defense budget and harassing him about Monica Lewinsky.
Bush never cared whether or not he got Bin Laden:
And check out this gem of an interview 5 years after the attacks:
Thankfully President Obama cared about getting Osama Bin Laden and he did:

Sarah Palin shut the fuck up!
The idiot's tweet regarding President Obama's decision not to release photos of Osama bin Laden's corpse:
Sarah no one gives a fuck what you think. So shut the fuck up and go away! Why MSNBC even mentioned you in their story about Republicans opposed to the decision is beyond me. You thought North Korea was our ally.

Sarah and Joe Miller can't even thank President Obama for getting Bin Laden
From the She-Devil's Facebook page:
Americans tonight are united in celebration and gratitude. God bless all the brave men and women in our military and our intelligence services who contributed to carrying out the successful mission to bring Bin Laden to justice and who laid the groundwork over the years to make this victory possible. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of these brave Americans who relentlessly hunted down our enemy.
This is a victory for the American people, for the victims who were heartlessly murdered on September 11 and in Al Qaeda’s other numerous attacks, and for all the peace-loving people of the world.
May God bless our troops and our intelligence services, and God bless America!
- Sarah Palin
She can't give credit where credit is due. Yes the Navy Seals went in and killed Bin Laden, but it was PRESIDENT OBAMA who gave the orders. Sarah you are a bitter, bitter woman.
If John McCain, Tim Pawlenty, and ex President Bush Jr can congratulate him so can you.

Breaking News-Osama Bin Laden is dead!!!!!!
From MSNBC
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is dead and the U.S. has his body, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials.
U.S. President Barack Obama was to make the announcement shortly that after searching in vain for bin Laden since he disappeared in Afghanistan in late 2001, the Saudi-born extremist is dead, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Details of the death were sparse. A senior U.S. counterterrorism official, who spoke with the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said bin Laden was killed in a ground operation in Pakistan, not by a Predator drone. The official said it happened last week.
Congratulations President Obama! You have won the 2012 Election!
