Can you imagine any other US president having to explain that he was in the loop for his "biggest" triumph? Anotherwords he was on the golf course or eating some Wagyu steak and lobster surf & turf.

[grey_whiskers]

What he means is, others planned and executed it, and dragged him away from the golf course for the photo op and mandatory teleprompter reading.

Freudian slip.

Cheers!

And he also took the initiative in the creation of the Internet.

I came away from the 60 Minutes interview with two impressions. One, Obama is indeed a narcissist and two, the media is still wearing knee pads for him.....

[henbane]

"We had multiple meetings in the Situation Room where we actually had a model of the compound and we would discuss how this operation might proceed and what various options there were."

"Then I jammed on my helmet, made myself team leader and I led those Seals right into the compound."

"I took out Osama with a single shot."

I’m sure OBL appreciated the extra two years.

These are the classic signs of a very insecure individual, somebody with serious self-doubts who needs to be constantly assured he is worth something. How terribly pathetic.

Obama: I Was 'As Active in Planning OBL Mission As Any Other Project During My Presidency'>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yeah, RIGHT!

Notice who is in the presidential chair at the head of the table.Obama is along for the ride, reluctantly.

[Plutarch]

Obama wasn't directing anything. It is clear from the White House Flickr photographs, that National Security Advisor Tom Donilon was conducting the meeting in the Situation Room. Obama glides in from the golf course, and Donilon moves aside briefly so the WH photographers can portray Obama has a latter day Hector.

President Barack Obama makes a point during one in a series of meetings in the Situation Room of the White House discussing the mission against Osama bin Laden, May 1, 2011. National Security Advisor Tom Donilon is pictured at right. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

IIRC the dead or ali=ve order was never changed on OBL since it was issed in 2001 so the only thing he had to give ok on was going into Pakistan.

[fatima]

Yea but Trump was on for 2 and half hours and more people watched him.

[freekitty]

Did you see the makeup on that guy? Thick LOL

[Major Matt Mason]

From what I was reading in the paper today, it sure sounds like Panetta was the one that was spearheading this effort. Obama mostly just signed off on it, which is his job, of course. Honestly, if he had passed on this, how quickly do you think Hillary and her flying monkeys would have been leaking this info to the media? The strategic imperative was keeping Hillary from getting her revenge.

[a fool in paradise]

The Playground President.

"PRESENT"

[Washi]

I was just flipping through the program guide on satellite T.V. and saw that there was a program on MSNBC titled

"The Death of Osama bin Laden"

The description of the program is as follows:

"An in-depth look into the planning and execution of the President's top secret operation that killed terrorist Osama bin Laden."

I sometimes wish that I was politically inactive so that I would be blissfully ignorant of this kind of disgusting, sycophantic propaganda.

[vlad335]

The President also said he was "about as active as any project that I've been involved with since I've been President... I was not involved with designing the initial plan but each iteration they'd bring to me, make a full presentation, we would ask questions. We had multiple meetings in the Situation Room where we actually had a model of the compound and we would discuss how this operation might proceed and what various options there were."

Wow! Why would this guy feel a need to state something like this? Is he proud that he kinda, actually did his job for the first time? I can't ever imagine an executive at any level saying such things. Almost like pulling someone from the mailroom and making them CEO for the day.

"Hey! I was right there and people asked questions and they had models and stuff."

Gutsy.

Hussein is a liar.

Obama: I Was ‘As Active in Planning OBL Mission As Any Other Project During My Presidency’

Which is to say he had very little to do with it.
