On the other hand, this event is very good news for Obama, because we have now a better economy plus the enemy number one of US has been killed under his command...and as the saying in Spanish says, "no hay maricón sin suerte"...
Seriously, WTF are you talking about?! Yeah, Bin Laden did recieve US assistance decades ago. But that 'friendship' goes out the window when you decide to bite the hand that feeds you & you start killing US citizens. What the hell did you expect us to do? Give him a slap on the wrist for planning the death of nearly 3000 ppl in the 9/11 attacks & other strikes that he has done? And
WE'RE the "bad friend"?!
Some bad decisions have been made in the name of US foriegn policy over the years. Like occasionally befriending guys that turn out to be a$$holes. But find me an incident that would warrant the response Bin Laden gave us that day. Until then, GTFO with that "bad friend"
And I don't know what the hell you're talking about "the economy is getting better"... The recent improvements are like a drop in the pan, comparatively. Until the national unemployment rate drops to about 8% or less & gas prices go back down, things are still pretty rough.
Is killing citizens your concern? Well, right after the first war against Iraq, 23,000 children died because they did drink contaminated water, because the US army and its "allies" decided to destroy the water supply lines of the cities...not only of the Iraqui military bases but also of the cities... And this is only one of the hundreds of reports found in the web about the abuses made by the US military against innocent citizens around the world... The amount of citizens -not related at all with military of any kind- in Iraq in the second invasion to this country is of two hundred thousand casualties... this is not "collateral damage"...this is criminal actions by hundreds...You said that in 911, 3000 US citizens died...And your point is...?
Another one, check at this place...

You can also watch the video online and see the images of the film, an abuse against thousands of aborigins of an island in order to install a US military base..you can observe human rights abuse, animal rights abuse, terrorism against a population, and finally a forced evacuacion from their land...all of these made by the US army in conjunction with the British... tell me about it... who is "the bad friend"?
Do you know what, there is not such "a good or bad friend" here, only dudes who fight for their own. The US foreign policies are designed to make slaves to the rest of countries, so you and I can have here cheaper gasoline, good food, peace, freedom, equality, etc.
In other words, people around the world love the US citizen but hate the US government.
Even here, people hate their own government, because the government is not listening to them anymore. An example is California, in this State the people voted "no" for gay marriage, still the government approved it...against the will of the people. Worst is the scenario when the US government imposes its will against the will of the people in other countries. Please, don't even come to me with the crap that we provide "freedom and democracy" to other countries because there are indeed "good guys"...such is not only a laughable lie but pure and legitimate crap.
The US government won't do anything for free, this is a fact. If the US government helps someone, is because some profit will be taken.
The case of Osama Bin Laden is the case of a dude who wanted to be free of the US domination and influence in his people and culture, he did what he had to do, the same as you will do if a foreign country tries to dominate yours. There is no good or bad guys here, only winners and losers, sometimes we win, sometimes they win.
Obama is lucky because for several years Osama Bin Laden has been a hidden target, and the US army was similar to Crock and the lost patrol. With the dead of Laden, Obama has made good points for the next elections, sadly, there are so many contradictions between the first report with the follow ups, that who knows now if all this fuss is true or not. Still, maybe Laden died of some sickness, perhaps an explosion, or maybe as a direct shot as the government report says it happened.
About the economy, it is going better, of course you can't expect to return back to old good times, such should be stupid, because our economy is not isolated but depends as well of the economy of other countries, and right now, the crisis is worldwide. Here the standard gasoline price is $4 per galon while in the rest of the world the price per gallon is twice and more...
And about the spanish saying, it was in reference to two court cases against Obama, which appear are going nowhere, the cases are of two homosexuals who claim, one that Obama -the teenager- let him had oral sex when he was in drugs, and the other one with another homosexual with the same argument but that happened when Obama was a senator...also in drugs...
