So yes, it must have been for the election that he allowed the seals to kill Osama. We know his preacher approved of attacking America.
Did anyone notice that the Muslim world was not upset with Osama being killed. So was Osama killed in fact??
Obama paid a blood debt of 30 Americans, 22 who were Navy SEALs, three months later.
Breitbart mysteriously dies, then one of his potential coroners mysteriously dies. Feels like Arkanside all over again, but on turbo-kill.
Big Stick
“Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far”
During TR’s term as Governor of NY State he fought with the party bosses, particularly Boss Tom Platt regarding a political appointment. Roosevelt held out, although the boss threatened, to “ruin” him. In the end the boss gave in.
According to Nathan Miller in his book “Theodore Roosevelt, A Life”, page 337,
“Looking back upon his handling of the incident, Roosevelt thought he ‘never saw a bluff carried more resolutely through to the final limit.’ And writing to a friend a few days later, he observed: ‘I have always been fond of the West African proverb: “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” ‘ “
The proverb and the policy followed him into numerous instances in his career, including his policies abroad during his presidency.
OBAMA USING ROMNEY AS A CLINTON SURROGATE
Is Obama using the swipes he seems to be taking at Romney to get back at Clinton ?
While it may appear that Obama is accusing Romney of being weak there is a former democratic president who “passed” on knocking off OBL and it was Clinton.
Clinton was informed that Osama was discovered to be in a desert area by the CIA but Clinton reportedly had nixed the attempt to “take him out” .
Whether Obama expected Romney to mention this in his response but instead mentioned Carter when this accusation was aired in a camapign ad. It may have been forgotten by the Romney people .
But Clinton’s pass on knocking off the 911 mastermind would not be forgotten by the very thin skinned Obama which may also hint at the growing dissatisfaction with the poor performance of Obama as President within Democratic ranks.
The more likely scenario is that Obama was persuaded to allow the mission...by reminding him of how Clinton’s refusal worked against him.
Also, wasn’t it the Admiral in charge who actually “made the call to go?”
Obama had Osama killed only as ‘payback’ for his going against the Soviets in the 80s. He obviously has no problem with terrorists who’ve attacked the Pentagon and various other military and gov facilities. He launched his political career in the living room of two communist terrorists, Bill Ayers and wife, Bernardine Dohrn. They bombed the Pentagon, Capital, numerous military facilities and police stations.
Obama killed Bin Laden, just like he capped the Deepwater Horizon well. In his own mind.
God Bless our SEALs, SWCCs, UDTs and all Naval Special Warfare Group and Special Operations Command people.
I pray that they aren’t used as scapegoats for some evil socialist electioning plot.
To his credit Obama didn’t get in the way in the hunt for Bin Laden. To his shame he did get in the way and worked tirelessly to obstruct any economic recovery while borrowing our way toward oblivion.
