GOP Doing What they Do
Seems a bit ridiculous for the GOP to be crying foul. But blaming others seems to be their M.O. In their most recent crying jag, they’re upset about Obama reminding people that the GOP was wrong; he said he’d go after bin Laden, then found him, and made a hard choice to kill him.
