As to Romney and the Unicorn question: I propose that he is in fact a Wooly Mammoth. I also propose that short of real evidence of Obama having been born outside the US to two non-US citizen parents (the fact that his mother was American makes the whole where he was born argument a mute point), then I'm going to attack him on his failed economic policies and not on where he was born.
Obama killed Osama bin Laden by proxy. That's true. However, Osama Bin Laden was (if we can agree on nothing else) waging war against the United States of America. President Obama is the Commander-in-Chief of the United States armed forces; it is his duty to defend the nation and wage our wars (whether you agree with the wars or not). Osama bin Laden was killed in a war as combatant...not on a Chicago street by a gang on Obama's orders as an innocent witness to other criminal activity. People must make a clear distinction between killing someone and murdering someone.
If someone is threatening your life where there is a clear and present danger, then your killing that person is not murder. If you are a soldier waging your country's wars against enemy combatants, then you are not a murderer (even if enemy non-combatants are killed accidentally).
Murdering is always killing, but killing is not always murder. (Most Bibles translate the 6th Commandment wrong; the proper translation is, "Thou shalt not murder.")
