“Mr. Obama was likewise successful in ordering the taking out of three teenage Somali pirates by Navy snipers in April after the outlaws took an American ship's captain hostage.”

That wasn't Obama. That was the deck officer in charge at the moment who made the decision to fire on the Pirates, because of the imminent danger to the Captain of the Maersk vessel being held as hostage. It was the deck officers call, not Obama’s.
