The raid was on Sunday, Obama was pulled off the golf course. In the War Room Pic, he is NOT at the Table. Clinton, Gates and even Biden have a table spot.

At the urging of Valerie Jarrett, President Barack Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three separate occasions before finally approving the May 2, 2011 Navy SEAL mission, according to an explosive new book scheduled for release August 21. The Daily Caller has seen a portion of the chapter in which the stunning revelation appears.
In ”Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him,“ Richard Miniter writes that Obama canceled the “kill” mission in January 2011, again in February, and a third time in March. Obama’s close adviser Valerie Jarrett persuaded him to hold off each time, according to the book.
Miniter, a two-time New York Times best-selling author, cites an unnamed source with Joint Special Operations Command who had direct knowledge of the operation and its planning.
Obama administration officials also said after the raid that the president had delayed giving the order to kill the arch-terrorist the day before the operation was carried out, in what turned out to be his fourth moment of indecision. At the time, the White House blamed the delay on unfavorable weather conditions near bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
But when Miniter obtained that day’s weather reports from the U.S. Air Force Combat Meteorological Center, he said, they showed ideal conditions for the SEALs to carry out their orders.
“President Obama’s greatest success was actually his greatest failure,” Miniter told The Daily Caller Friday. ”Leading From Behind,“ he said, traces the arc of six key Obama administration decisions, and shows how the president made them — and, often, failed to make them.

Just heard Todd Starnes on the radio doing a segment about this.
Get the Ghostery addon for Firefox and it will block the malware........there are a lot of them.
The raid was on Sunday, Obama was pulled off the golf course. In the War Room Pic, he is NOT at the Table. Clinton, Gates and even Biden have a table spot.
We’re thinking that it is not really malware. Rather someone reporting it as malware to scare visitors away.
I’ll check into Ghostery though.
He didn’t make that decision. - paraphrase, Barack Obama
bkmk
I have Ghostery and am unable to access the Daily Caller. Hmmmmmmm. Dear Leader and his flying monkeys not liking this report????
I heard that, too. It was practically a Panetta/Hillary coup that Obama and Jarrett were surprised by. I also read on FR that Obama had a statement drafted to blame the military in case of the operation’s failure.
Valerie Jarrett: Iranian of the Day!
“Every memory from Iran is a very happy memory,” Jarrett told me in an e-mail...”

It’s already on many other sites. If they did try, they failed to keep a lid on this story.
Wow! Almost sounds like what Frank Sinatra said about Raymond Shaw in the MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. It just rolled off his tongue without thought.

Yeah, that’s it.
Obama is taking credit for the kill,but I believe if the facts are known, the Navy figured a way to go behind Jarrett’s back and get the job done.
I am sure that all of this dithering will be outlined in that movie Katherine Bigelow is making set to be released right before the election.
I was getting that with Firefox browser early this morning. If those that pull the strings are trying to keep people from reading this story, it’s not going to work.
+++++++++++++
I got that Firefox Warning on dailycaller.com. Looks to me like someone at Firefox is playing politics. Is FR next?
Dally caller did have some malware. It has been fixed, but it will take a day before Google gives it a greenlight.
