(CNN) -- You would think that President Obama's surprise trip to Afghanistan yesterday and speech to the troops would have quieted -- at least for one night -- the latest installment of the GOP's "Faux Anger Chronicles." While most of the president's critics were silent or praised him for the trip, others didn't disappoint in following along with the fad. Faux anger: It's all the rage. At least in politics. The president's speech honored and thanked our troops, reviewed our strength and resolve in Afghanistan and in killing Osama bin Laden -- who planned the 9/11 tragedy in that country -- and also in getting rid of 20 of 30 of al Qaeda's top lieutenants.

Cardona: GOP hypocritical; would gladly claim credit if its candidate had killed bin Laden
Additionally, the Romney campaign and Mr. @placeholder himself is saying any president would have made the same decision President Obama did.
