Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said on Wednesday night that President Obama had “nothing to do” with the 2011 killing of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
O’Reilly made the remarks on “The O’Reilly Factor” after daring guest Jessica Ehrlich, a Democratic strategist, to name “one accomplishment” of Obama’s “that has made this country better overseas.”
“Well, let’s say Osama bin Laden — the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden,” Ehrlich replied.
“He had nothing to do with that!” O’Reilly exploded. “That was US intel and the Navy SEALs taking him out. He just said ‘Do it.'”
“It happened under his watch,” Ehrlich said.
“C’mon. So what?” O’Reilly said. “If that’s what he’s got after six years, that’s dismal.”

Bush would have already been chiseled into Mt. Rushmore if he had gotten bin Laden. As it was, Bush said ‘I don’ t care if I get him or not.’
Bill O’Really would know, as he was there with ST6 when it all went down.
Bill apparently doesn’t know what “Commander in Chief” means.
He just said do it, not enough!
Well, y’see, Bush personally overthrew and slew Saddam, so the comparison is obvious.
