1. Funny how he flip flops
maya ,   australia   (05.05.11)
After all the arab nations he bowed to initially have given him the one finger salute, he decides the usa in no longer a muslim country as he declared originally. Now he is patriotic? Anyone smell an election? No previous interest in anything but uncurling his fist. But when elections loom he clenches his fist at osama. Who is he fooling?
2. Response
Marilyn ,   USA   (05.05.11)
I posted a respoonse that didn't show up to the guy that asked about the American reaction. In a brief summary, I said that most thought that his death was inevitable, and that the overall feeling was a combination. But more of reflection and sadness than anything else.
3. Clearly, a political move. Obama should have gone to the

basis of those who killed Bin-Laden and thanked them directly. He could have gone to the Pentagon to express his appreciation to the defense establishment. He could have gone to the CIA offices to thank the people who have worked on this project for more than a decade, long before Obama even considered becoming a President. He is here to pick the fruits on the tree that he neither planted nor cultivated for years. My vote is no longer going to be with him, I can assure you.
4. We need to see the photos!
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (05.05.11)
Obama won't release photos of Bin Laden's brain blown out because he is afraid how Muslims will react. Again, Obama puts Muslims' needs above those of the American people - who will never forget watching in horror on 9-11 as innocent people jumped out of the Twin Tower windows. For 10 years, we saw Bin Laden's face smirking at us and listened to him taunting us. And Jews will never forget the images of Daniel Pearl's beheading. We need to see the photos of the evil mass murderer's death - for the thousands of people he killed - and for Danny Pearl - or we will never have closure.
5. Thank G-d it was Obama an Arab responsible for the killing

of Bin-Laden. Imagine if Bush, a non-Arab would have killed him.... Now that Obama fulfilled his role, which only he was able to do, there's no reason for him to continue being the U.S. President.
6. #4 Obama won't release photos
(05.05.11)
because the photos might show that it's not Bin Laden after all and only his clone or look alike who was killed. It doesn't make sense that they threw him into the sea when they should've brought him back to the U.S. like they did with Sadam Hussein. Something smells very, very fishy.
7. #3 one more person
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (05.05.11)
Obama ordered his supporters to mock Bush, publicly humiliate him, make him out to be an incompetent fool and a criminal. Then, when he realized he might not get re-elected Obama copied the Bush doctrine exactly. Obama should thank the soldiers, the pentagon and the CIA, but he should thank Bush and then make a public groveling apology.
8. Trying to score political points on the backs of 9/11 dead!
David ,   New York   (05.05.11)
obama hussein is a disgrace!
9. Great job Obama!
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (05.06.11)
Obama is doing a great job considering the deck that was handed to him. He is slowly getting us out of the Iraq mess and I hope he will withdraw from Afghanistan. It is also a great to see that the worlds only super power looking out for it's own interest and not the interest of lobbyist or a foreign country. We need to cut all aid to Pakistan, Egypt, and the UN and take care of America because nobody else will take care of America except Americans. They will insult us and our leaders and at the same time have there hands out begging for more even they know we are bleeding financially. With friends like these who needs enemies.
