Text of President’s remarks here

Morning chipsticks, we missed u. What a night.
Hiya M4O, when I woke up this morning I was asked what I thought of the amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing news. I said “eh, what news?”
That’s it, I’ve never going to bed again.
Chipsticks we kept calling out for you but no luck.
I know, I was sleeping too deeply to hear you!
LOL!!!
And while the world was sleeping, the republicans are all over the t.v trying to re-write history including crediting George Bush with waving a magic wand from his bed in Dallas and doing something he was incapable of accomplishing in 8 years at the Whitehouse!!!
It is hilarious!!!
LOL…Chipsticks! We’ll see how long that you can go without sleep. You’ll be holding your eyes open with toothpicks.
Ah, toothpicks! Great idea – going to buy some online now!
Good Morning Chipsticks, HUGE! Just HUGE! I’ve been up all nite…just can’t stop watching. People took to the streets to acknowledge the Victory. Just HUGE!
Don’t feel bad chip. I was sleep too. Didn’t wake up until 5am haha! Our President is just wonderful. Congrats to our Navy SEALs who carried out the attack. Well done.
Let’s make a deal Collegekay, we will never ever sleep again!
A very good morning to all of you. We were watching TV when my husband’s iPhone went off and a text alert from MSNBC that President Obama would speak regarding the killing of Osama Bin Ladin. It’s something I will always remember, just as I remember the morning of September 11 when my friend emailed me to say, “I think Jeff [her husband] is on that plane.” And he was, on Flight 11. Justice has been served. Thank you, Mr. President, and our Armed Forces.
I can only must a morning as I have the biggest headache one can imagine and have the most horrible backache I’ve ever had;barely slept but I still feel G.R.E.A.T
so frigging happy today for our troops;the President;CIA and our country
I haven’t closed my eyes for a second all night. What a time we had. Celebrating the Historic victory for the president and the country.
Actually it is Obama 2… remember the Pirates.
The US NAVY SEALS have been active and effective under this president.
Yes, I remember the Pirates, and how the US NAVY SEALS, came In and strategically, and perfectly did the job. * Amazing *. God Bless Our US NAVY SEALS :_)
Our president is so amazing. So is our military. God Bless America
While the INSANITEA GOP are acting petty, demanding long forms and lying about health care an other policies this man has been busy getting the job done.
There is an old saying something like don’t believe what a man says, believe none of it. Watch what he does when no one is looking.
Bush robbed us and wire tapped us when we were nothing looking. Good to see a president doing great and amazing things.
We are so fortunate to have this President. Those of us who have always believed in him knew he would get the job done. I am so proud to be an Obamabot.
Chipsticks is back! We were all thinking of you last night!
Hiya M. I’m really upset with the President today, I can’t believe he didn’t delay his announcement until I woke up.
We must inform him that it best not happen again! LoL
Chips, I figured the ringer on your red alert phone with the direct line from the President must have broken!
We’d better get that fixed ASAP!
I was so excited for you to hear the news. I kept picturing the news like a big surprise gift just waiting for you to wake up!
This is such a memorable time in history as it is the biggest BFD!
Have just sent my red alert phone in for repair
It is an amazing day, I would usually feel very uncomfortable with any death being celebrated, but I can certainly understand and appreciate the sense of justice relatives of victims of bin Laden & Co must feel today. So happy for them.
yes, agree completely.
First video is not GLOBAL.
brb
Really?? Crikey, I thought ThinkProgress videos were viewable everywhere – I’ve watched them in Dublin and London! Leave it with me, will convert it.
Global. BTW first woman is insane,Bush had nothing to do with this success. He gave up in 2006…
Ah, you meant that one? Just converted the Think Progress one.
This is what I see on your website sometimes. : )

Welcome back Ms Chips, and thanks so much for these video clips…. I also woke up to this wonderful news, and had not yet heard the Speech. I only pray our president’s excellent secret service will be extra vigilant in the weeks and months to come! A great day for justice.
Good morning Chips, your “Good NIGHT” posting last nite, was a busy one. Wowwwwwwww, we missed you, but we were just glad that we could comment, and post our thoughts and feelings. Thank you Chips, some of us were trying to wake you up, and was hoping that somehow you would hear us Lol. Have a good day Chips
Hiya Luci, when I fall asleep there’s no waking me!
Hey Chips thanks for converting that video. Glued to my tv, Blair and Cameron have expressed their thanks to the US Navy Seals and the President. This is one of the serious business the Prez was on about not evil nonsense about birth certificates.
Good Morning to all!!! My eyes are burning didn’t get enough sleep…..what a night lastnite. Chipsticks we were hoping someone would have awaken you!?!……..OBAMA2012!!!
Great good morning, Chips! Not even your ears were burning last night??!! We missed you!!
It’s hilarious Meta, I just checked my email and there were a bunch of ‘WAKE UP!’ messages …. it’s all very embarrassing
We’ll let you off this time!! I am still so stunned. When you think about how many presidents failed on health care, Iraq, Gaddafi, OBL, ETC, ETC, ETC. President Obama just gets it done every single day. As Joe says: spine of steel.
Chips, please do not feel embarrassed. You are AMAZING! It was just feeling rather ironic last night because you are always so quick and on top of ALL news that regards PBO!
Actually, I’ve decided I’m going to sleep though election day in 2012, that way the President will be assured of a landslide
I am so gratified at how many people ran to the Whitehouse in celebration. Patriotism is alive and well.
Thank you to President Obama, the Obama Administration, our brave men and women in the armed forces and secret service for all they do for America!
