After claiming credit for everything? It's a little late in the game for Obama to start backpedaling now. How's he going to explain the "I got Osama, I ordered the hit, me me me" press conference he gave on Sunday? Answer: he isn't. Obama can't possibly throw the SEALs under the bus without exposing himself as a lying, glory stealing buffoon. He'd lose every independent vote in the country.
How many Democrats can truly stomach this?
They'll shut up and do what they're told. That's what makes them Democrats. I've already laughed off jubilant liberal pals, by pointing out that they'd be charging Bush with premeditated, extra-judicial death-squad murder if this had happened under his watch. After a second of two of thought, they agree, and get less jubilant. But they'll still vote for Obama.
Even after all taking all the credit, I can still see Barry easily casting blame: he told them to go in and capture Osama; they acted stupidly when they saw resistance; they were surprised by something and just decided to kill him; etc. Given all that’s happened since his annointment, the rule of law and logic no longer apply when it comes to what he’ll do (or what the liberals will stomach).
I doubt Southern Democrats would go along with any attempts to smear the military. Pride in God, country and our military still runs strong there. But, does Barry and his ilk understand this, or do they think they have a way to work their way around it?
