Gutsy call?

Let's just say that Obama's guts don't move very fast.

Obama took SIXTEEN HOURS to make up his mind about Bin Laden mission .... Barack Obama kept military commanders hanging by declaring he would 'sleep on it' before taking 16 hours to give the go-ahead to raid Bin Laden's compound. .... The mission looked set to be given the all clear last Thursday when analysts confirmed beyond doubt that Bin Laden was in busy town of Abbottabad in northern Pakistan. ..... But the president stunned officials when he told a national security meeting that he wanted more time to think - and disappeared out of the room. 'I'm not going to tell you what my decision is now - I'm going to go back and think about it some more,' said Obama, according to the New York Times.

It's kind of like Obama dithering about the Somali Pirates that the Seals had been waiting to shoot for days.

This was just the Land Based version of Obama the Grand Decision maker.

At least President Bush “the decider” actually decided when push came to shove...
