Those Democrats who argued that the killing of Usama bin Laden would shield President Obama from political attacks saw in the first presidential debate of the season that Republicans won't be abashed about going after Obama, even on foreign policy.
Perhaps it was because Obama himself is participating in an extended victory lap after ordering the mission that killed bin Laden, but Republicans seemed to have no qualms about going after the commander in chief so soon after the greatest triumph of his presidency.
As former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty put it: "He did a good job and I tip my cap to him, but that moment is not the sum total of American foreign policy."
The Republican presidential nominating process got off to a rollicking start Thursday in Greenville, S.C. The crowd at the FOX News/South Carolina GOP event heard about everything from bin Laden's death to heroin legalization; global warming to reality TV.
Moderator Bret Baier and panelists Chris Wallace, Juan Williams and Shannon Bream got the sometime balky participants to loosen up and start the discussion that will ultimately end on Election Day 2012.
