Sure, the most famous image from the day Osama bin Laden died was taken in the Situation Room, with President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden’s pursed faces clearly in view. But former Obama “body man” Reggie Love painted another picture from that day, too.
“Most people were like down in the Situation Room and [President Obama] was like, ‘I’m not going to be down there, I can’t watch this entire thing,’” Love recalled.
So the POTUS, Love, White House photographer Pete Souza and staffer Marvin Nicholson holed up in the nearby private dining room and played cards. “We must have played 15 games of spades,” Love said....

Some CiC. Can you see any other president (including Clintoon) not being present during a crucial military operation?
So that's what the fudge-packers are calling it these days!
I don't know, but it sure explains John Kerry.
Utterly amazing. MIND = BLOWN.
OTrauma is a full-on, if a secular, Muslim and utterly regretted having to see Osama die.
Funny how Obama found time to be in the “situation room” for a photo op around the killing of Bin Laden, but he couldn’t manage to find his way there during the attack and murder of Americans in Benghazi.
And Juan McCain...
“We must have played 15 games of spades,”
Stands to reason, somehow I don’t see them playing Hearts.
“We must have played 15 games of 52 pickup, and not once
did Obama ever figure it out...”
With that as a measure of obozo’s engagement in the vital affairs of state, I think it’s safe to say he was probably getting down with Larry Sinclair while our folks in Benghazi were being slaughtered.
(Gee, is that a drone buzzing my house?)

The president’s personal aide also recalled how Obama originally wanted to treat the birth certificate issue. “I remember when he finally found his birth certificate,” Love said. “It took a little too long, by the way,” inserted Jim Newton, the UCLA senior fellow and Los Angeles Times journalist who was conducting the interview. “Hey, your parents don’t live together and you travel all over the world–documents get lost,” Love rebutted.
Oh.....poor widdle Bawwy was upset people were asking him to prove he's actually eligible to be President. After all, no one made him prove he was qualified.
With Shillary gone, I guess It was Reggie's turn to go out and start the next round of approved rumors. You'd think these people would try something new.
ROFL!!
This man is useless as President.
Playing "Twister" in the Lincoln bedroom?
Sounds like a SNL sketch:
“Playin’ Spades with Reggie Love”
Reads like “50 Shades of Gay”.
Drove would do well to watch overhead for drones.

Anyways, if the president had his druthers, the birth certificate rollout would have been much more dramatic. “And so he wanted to just have an impromptu press conference and just walk into the press briefing room of the White House and just put his birth certificate out on the podium and everyone was like, ‘that’s a really bad idea,’” Love said. “But he was like very gung-ho about doing it because he was so irritated about it.”
