Give him a chance? Seriously? He had a chance when he groveled via his youtube video to the Mullahs in Tehran. He had a chance when he had his moronic VP basically warn Israel in a public forum against defending herself. He had a chance when he let the Norks fire a missile over our close ally, Japan, and another chance when he couldn't even get a condemnation from the UN Security Council for that act.
Sorry, but rogue nations and evil dictators test new Presidents...not four dingy pirates in a boat. The idea that the very real brilliance displayed by those Navy SEAL sharpshooters somehow translates into Barry being viewed as even remotely tough by the dictatorial nutters of the world is laughable.
The sheeple who buy what the MSM is selling may see Obama's "strong and steady hand of leadership" in this pirate fiasco, but Kim Jong Il, Imadinnerjacket and Bad Vlad Putin aren't fooled one bit.
/Morning rant off.
The sharpshooters couldn’t shoot without the okay from the Commander-in-Chief. They got it. I hope they get it faster assuming there’s a next time, and I expect they will, since their performance this time certainly must have given the Commander-in-Chief confidence in their abilities.
We will not win the various wars against barbarians if we’re constantly focused on battling our own President. That’s just playing into the barabarians’ hands. Obama wasn’t my choice for President by a long shot, but until we manage to get a better one elected, he’s OUR President and we need to support him whenever he gets anything right, even when he’s a bit slow to get it right.
