Cantor (R-VA) Credits Bush Vigilance for bin Laden Death
By NCD on Mon, 05/02/2011 - 6:25pm |"I commend President Obama who has followed the vigilance of President Bush in bringing Bin Laden to justice." Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Barney Frank on Cantor:
"Let’s give discredit where it is due," Frank told the liberal blog ThinkProgress. "For Eric Cantor to phrase it that way, to say [Obama] followed the vigilance of President Bush is a degree of key partisanship that exceeded what I even expected from Cantor. That’s just sad."
In March 2002, just six months after 9/11, Bush said of bin Laden, "I truly am not that concerned about him.... You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, to be honest with you."
In July 2006, we learned that the Bush administration closed its unit that had been hunting bin Laden.
In September 2006, Bush told Fred Barnes, one of his most sycophantic media allies, that an "emphasis on bin Laden doesn't fit with the administration's strategy for combating terrorism."

I think we should credit Eric Cantor for getting bin laden. After all, this Congress has followed in the footsteps of previous Congresses which appropriated the money we needed to find and kill him.
Here are two other Bush quotes from March 2002, completing his March '02 trifecta (courtesy Buzzflash at http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/2002/11/13_Laden.html):
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)
Reflecting his steadfast commitment of over 6 months to find and kill bin laden. Surely he personally (as opposed to the career people who've probably been working on this for years out of the limelight) deserves our kudos for a job well done. That's just the kind of mission accomplished that made Bush one of our top presidents, ever.

Bush 'vigilance' was mainly concerned with scaring the beegeezus out of voters about bin Laden before his 2004 re-election. After that he directed his vigilance to shucking folks of their Social Security and scheming to turn the dough over to Wall Street. thanks for the quotes!

Short version. Eric Canter is a complete ass.
