Obama Gets Osama; Good/Bad Jobs News; GOP on the Run

Three takes on the US operation that killed Osama bin Laden. Also, the good news and bad news on the jobs report, and the GOP and the Ryan budget plan.

Tony advances his theory that Pakistan DID cooperate with the US on the killing of Osama bin Laden but that we are helping them with internal politics by going soft on them publicly; he says: "They'd rather be seen as asleep at the switch by their people than complicit with the Americans" on this killing. Bob maintains that of all the countries we've actually invaded, the real problem has been Pakistan all along. Matt says, "It's nice to see the nation stand up and be impressed by what well-trained federal workers can do." The jobs report is good news, bad news: Jobs are up but so's unemployment. And Tony says the GOP is being spineless if they run away from the Ryan budget plan.
