Uh Oh, Barry-O

This accounting of recent events makes the President look like a timid and empty suit.

Ronald Reagan said you can get a lot done in this town if you don't care who gets the credit for it.  Obama And Valerie Jarrett didn't want to go in and get Bin Laden, but Leon Panetta did, and had already prepped for it, and was supported by Hillary and Robert Gates.  The op became a fait accompli, and all the President was considering at the end was "what if it gets out that I squashed this opportunity."

Hell even Biden was in the loop more than Barry was

You can get a lot done in this town if you don't care who gets the credit for it.  Panetta, the head of the CIA and future SecDef got something done.  And Barack Obama took the credit for it, in full narcissism mode.  If this report is true.  Is it?  How the hell would I know.

Another take, similar vein, similar reservations.

    We'll never "know" but from where I sit it's MORE than "plausible". You can bet ObaMao will be doing eveerything possible to try to look like he was anything but an impediment from day one...

    Oh, and my source, Glenn Reynolds, thinks this narrative a bit fishy.

    If the account is true, however, well Obama doesn't really have a good handle on this whole President thing, does he?

    Well, it might be more plausible since the White House announced a couple of hours ago that they would NOT release any Photos or Videos of the Dead Scumbag because it "MIGHT inflame the Radical Islamists", this after Panetta said earlier that photos might be released. Sounds like Jarrett is still pulling Barry's Strings.

    I'll trust a named official over some anonymous "White House insider" any day.

    According to this article, Obama was afraid to target Bin Laden because "the attack would be viewed as an act of aggression against Muslims, and further destabilize conditions in the Middle East." Give me a break, this reads like anti-Obama fan fiction.

    Yeah, it does smack of that, NE.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
