OBAMA TO RENEW HUNT FOR OSAMA

The president-elect probably is considering him for a cabinet position! KIDDING!

Isn't it wild that resuming the hunt for Osama seems like a red herring? So long since it's even been mentioned and of course we've all heard the Bush quote, when asked how the search for the ringleader of 9/11 was going: "I really don't spend that much time on it."

Obama To Renew Focus On Hunt For Bin Laden
