Former US ambassador to Pakistan: Barack Obama showed 'as much courage as our Navy SEALs'

There’s been a fair amount of – how shall I put it? – sucking up to President Barack Obama over the past week for his decision to send in the US Navy SEALs to kill Osama bin Laden. Certainly, it was a bold gamble that paid off richly and if it hadn’t it could have crippled his presidency.

But rather than let Obama’s actions speak for themselves, his aides and allies have gone into overdrive and “gutsy” has become the word of the week. As in:

When President Obama was faced with the opportunity to act upon this, the president had to evaluate the strength of that information and then made what I believe was one of the most gutsiest calls of any president in recent memory.

Most gutsiest? John Brennan must be one of the MOSTEST STUPIDEST people on Earth.

Once a Douche, always a Douche! Obozo is the the most depraved, useless Coward to ever disgrace America! Our CIA, Special Forces and Military Command Forced Obozo to finally disturb his Golf Games, Partying, and Flying around on AF ONE every damn day instead of doing his Presidential Duties only when his ratings, poll numbers, release of his still False BC, and INS release of scandalous backround info on his alleged polygamous Dad were all happening in the most scandalous week of Obozo’s Regime to date! Obozo is a POS Infiltrator to America and it’s most Honored Office! Impeach this Idiot now!

Agreed. The SEAL’s and all the guys who went on this mission are the heroes. Nobody else.

But think about what Obama was risking. The Wookie could have found out he smoked in the warroom, or he could have cut himself on his Coke can.

Obama isn’t worthy of cleaning the boots of these American Patriots and Heroes! Wouldn’t trust him to launder their underwear as well! Obozo is the ultimate Girlie-she/it/tranny! Certainly not a Man........

I mean really.

Obama’s options, given that we were very, very sure that we had found bin Laden were:

1. Do nothing. History would not treat that decision very well. The next election, when that fact was learned by the public, would doom Obama to 1 term.

2. Do something. The only option he had left.

Courage? Hardly! He had no choice but to allow the Seals to get Osama.

The only alternative was to let Osama go free. And Obama would eventually have been exposed (by Hillary and Panetta) as Osama’s protector.

Harnden reveals the very deliberate implantation of the word "gutsy" into the phony-heroic media narrative about Obama:

But rather than let Obama’s actions speak for themselves, his aides and allies have gone into overdrive and “gutsy” has become the word of the week. As in:

When President Obama was faced with the opportunity to act upon this, the president had to evaluate the strength of that information and then made what I believe was one of the most gutsiest calls of any president in recent memory. (John Brennan in the White House briefing room)

This was a gutsy decision by the president. A lot of things could have gone wrong. (Senator John Kerry on MSNBC)

It was a very gutsy decision made by the president. I mean, he could have sent some Hellfire missiles in there and destroyed everybody and everything. (Senator Dianne Feinstein on MSNBC)

All of those risks were debated. All of them were thoroughly explored. And in the end, I think that’s why the president made a very gutsy decision by deciding that for all of those risks, we had to do this. (Leon Panetta on PBS)

You know, the president had an opportunity, on a very granular basis, to work with those guys every day, particularly the leaders of the bin Laden team, two very impressive guys. And the president came away very impressed. And it was their information that allowed him to make this gutsy call. (Denis McDonagh on CNN)

Some have detected a touch of sycophancy and message coordination in all this, suspicions that might be increased by the fact that the newly-acquired domain name gutsycall.com will direct you to Barack Obama’s campaign website. [emphasis mine]
