Prior to his response to **********, he was saying Obama was all. "He,he,he" trying to push the idea that Obama never thanked anyone but himself, which is total BS and typical right wing propaganda. MP replied to that, which he didn't use the best wording. He should of said something along the lines of Obama only said "I" when talking about his direct decisions and not just the one specific instance..
However "I" think the clear message is that obviously the amount of times the president said "I" is far more important than the fact that bin Laden was killed. Perhaps we would have been better off with..
"I really just don?t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you". Which was Bush's response to looking for bin Laden.
