| Howard Fineman: Obama Gets Osama: Goodbye Vietnam By calmly and meticulously overseeing the successful targeting of Osama bin Laden, President Barack Obama just proved himself -- vividly, in almost Biblical terms -- to be an effective commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States. |
| Chris Matthews: Obama Did What America Needed Less than a week ago, Obama was showing us his birth certificate. This is a man who kept cool through all this clatter and nonsense, knowing he had other work to do. |
| Kathy Kelly: Beyond Retaliation How have the past ten years of aerial bombardments, night raids, death squads, assassinations and drone attacks in Afghanistan benefited the U.S. people? None of these actions are what led to the discovery of Osama bin Laden's whereabouts. |
| Dean Baker: Why Does Senator McCaskill Want to Bankrupt Our Children? McCaskill's proposal to put strict caps on government spending operates from the blatantly wrong premise that spending has grown out of control. Those familiar with arithmetic know it has increased by little. |
