I believe it to be untrue. Obami was engaged in World politics at the time and probably left it up to military professionals.

The "community organizer" has NO understanding of military situational/operational matters, and probably begged off.

If obami gave the "go" for our SEALs, don't you think he would use this for a photo-op?

Silly you- he wasn’t engaged in World Politics- he was packing his tighty-whities for his trip abroad and pre-planning how he was going to greet his marxist pal Chavez with a finger-lock instead of a handshake.

According to the P0ser's own pimps, he was briefed 17 times. After the Seals did what they came there for, suddenly it was Yobomba that was giving the briefings and supposedly ran the whole clusterphuck from his "situation room"..or maybe it was Woof Blitzoids Situation Room.

All I know is that there should have been roughly 3 or so briefings to TOTUSII- one from the Navy to the White House at the start of the kidnapping, another the next morning, and a press release.

Bobo the clown recklessly put that Captain in danger, along with causing our ships to sit out there like sitting ducks, and encouraging the pirates to bring out more boats with human shields.

Do you really think the Seals wouldn't have lit up that lifeboat when Captain Philips dove off it? Or that Philips hid his actions from the Navy? Or do you think they - along with the other crews were all off watch and no one noticed?

And yes, he is taking full credit for the ops and saving Philips life, and the media has hailed it as proof of his ability and credentials to lead his men into a situation room....and use the whole roll w/o replacing it while he's there.

I guess it’s only YOU who believe in Obama. From the get-go it was evident that Obama was a colossal loser in the foreign affairs arena......the Navy worked around him and thank God for that.
