bin laden. robert gibbs defended the ad. it is not over the line. just a few years ago president obama then a candidate said in a speech that we had actual intelligence of high value target in pakistan we go in and get that high value target. mitt romney said that was foolish. he wouldn t do such a thing. he wouldn t move heaven and earth to get osama bin laden. let s talk about that one here with a balanced debate. let s start with you dede. president obama had initially said he wouldn t fight the football meaning he wouldn t brag about the death of osama bin laden. he thinks this will back fire against the president. i do think it will back fire. today is the day the world trade center is going to be the tallest building in new york city. this is a big day for america. this should not just be about barack obama. it should be about all americans.
