In light to shed some possible discussion for this topic, does anyone think that Osama's death is a conspiracy theory? Supposedly there is no visual evidence of his death or corpse, when you can make the argument that their should be since they showed Saddam's Execution. And according to CNN his body has already been buried at sea, before it reached American soil.

I think he's dead personally, but my friend brought this up and I thought it'd be interesting to see what those of you at scorehero had to say.

From what I saw on Twitter, Pakistani TV showed pictures of the body. Take that for what you will.

But in all seriousness, I hope this one shuts up the haters for a while. I try not to form a strong opinion on politicians one way or another, since what you see on TV and in the papers is probably nothing like the reality of the man himself. I like Obama, and will probably vote for him again, but he is of course not without his faults. But to say he is responsible for more deaths than Osama is just absurd.

I'll be honest I am not surprised by this whatsoever.

Anyways, I'm not really in favor of either of the wars in the middle east or Libya or any other place we invaded for oi- I mean, because we're good samaritans. I'm not really Obama's biggest fan either. Nor Bush's. I don't think we've had a good president in a long time. Not that Obama is THE worst president we've ever had, and to be fair I think he has a lot working against him, but I still can't say I'd vote for him again if a better candidate came along.

I hate Obama, so I'm gonna say jerk. I see where the OP is coming from, but you can't blame all of the deaths in the wars in the Middle East on Obama.

Yes, I think it's a conspiracy.
As soon as I heard that he had a sea burial I thought it was a conspiracy.
Pictures are easily altered, infact there are already multiple fake osama pictures on the web.
I just thought about the SH conspiracy theory...

Well, there actually is visual evidence of his dead corpse. None of it has been released by the White House, though. I doubt Obama and the CIA would be stupid enough to not have visual, lasting evidence that the world's biggest terrorist is dead. I'm fine with the body being buried at sea already, as long as we know there's visual proof he's dead. The longer we had the body, dead or alive, the uglier the situation would become, IMO.

As for what I think about Obama, I think he's a man with good intentions, but as time has progressed, it feels that both Republicans and Democrats are becoming more stubborn in their beliefs, and only become willing to compromise when their hands are forced to.

As for the conspiracy theories? A lot of people who believe this is a conspiracy won't change their minds, no matter what Obama does. Just look at the situation with his birth certificate. I definitely don't think this is a conspiracy, though.

I'm against war and any military men I talk to are against war. Anyone who likes war is a sick individual. However, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Their words, not mine.

Most of this wasn't even Obama's work. He continued things that were already in motion. The intel it took to be able to finally track down Osama took years to get together. I give Obama credit for continuing the work that the intelligence community and military started via directives from Bush. If Obama was responsible for initiating anything different the Bush Administration intel gathering had been doing he gets props from me. Continuing with policies from the previous administration isn't worthy of accolades other than credit for not abandoning them. The Special Ops/ Ranger/ Force Recon/ Delta teams were already in place and have been for ten years. Pardon the ignorance but I see no need to anoint the anointed one.

As for the conspiracy, I'm not quite sure. With horrible approval ratings, and the obvious rebellion in 2010 elections to his policies, he needed something. I do find it somewhat suspicous that this happened so soon after his birth certificate was released. I'm not saying its a conspiracy but the timing was interesting. It won't save him though.

To answer the title of the thread: He is a nice guy to foreign dictators that America doesn't support and a jerk to our foreign allies, the middle and upper class, hard workers, and anyone who asks him a question.

Well, believe what you want, but I'm also here to tell you that, yes, we have in fact landed on the moon.

In any case, a sea burial makes absolute complete sense. If Osama had been buried on American soil, we'd constantly be having radical nutjobs coming to visit his gravesite.

Nice guy, but probably can be a jerk at times.

My ex posted on Facebook saying it was all a lie. I decided to troll her a bit, but I don't think she got it. Either way, I'm glad I left that chick ages ago.


I like Obama. I don't always agree with his actions and policies, but that's to be expected. It's hard to say he shouldn't have done some of the things he has done that I don't really agree with (bank bailout, arming Libyan rebels), since I'm not as informed of the situation as he is. I also understand that there are things that he simply has to do, whether even he agrees with them or not. I hate to say it, but not bailing out those banks (and maybe GM) probably would have been a very bad decision.

It's easy to say "when I'm in office, I will/wont do [x]." When you get in to office, it's a whole other story. You soon realize that the vast majority of the things a president does is compulsory and it's not just because he's a dick.

When I realized this, I retroactively gained a tiny shred of respect for ol' GW.

It's true, I think, that democrats and republicans are pretty much the same. That, combined with what I said before about presidents actually having little choice in their actions, it seems like one should just ignore campaign promises that they can't possibly keep and judge a candidate on the content of their character. And that is what Obama excels at. Had McCain won, he'd probably have done exactly the same things Obama has (except maybe for the healthcare dealio), only he'd appear even more out-of-touch with the American people.

Wait, I read the title as "Osama" <_<

Obama is alright, he can ride this killing of Bin Laden to victory in 2012 probably. Lucky Bastard.

I also imagine there's a lot more pressure on you when you're actually in office, and I can imagine that when the government is as corrupt as ours is, it's probably hard for someone honest to get anything done or even remain an honest person. It's kind of a shitty job to take.

get a life.

This is where the conversation should have ended.

I didn't realize you could start threads in a fashion this incendiary and unsupported and still get the endorsement of the mods. Considering the president has finally vindicated the 10 years of military action we're so eager to decry, it's incredible that this isn't recognized for the trolling that it is. But apparently, we're super-eager to find out if Scorehero would like to have a beer with the President, so "fire away, everyone".

Fuck me.
