That is exactly how it works. Great post! :thumbsup: Anyone who remembers the failed mission to rescue the hostages in Iran knows that when a mission goes south, it is the Commander-in-Chief who gets the blame. While I see some here who want to give W. Bush the credit for this mission, how much of the blame would he (or the CIA or the SEALS) have gotten if it had failed??? Answer: NONE. Obama would have gotten 100% of the blame, just as Carter did. And the ones piling on would be the very same people who are now claiming that the CIA and the SEALS commanded themselves.
And speaking of hypocrisy, does anyone else find it oddly ironic that it is the same people on the right, who are singing this "Obama had NOTHING to do with getting Bin Laden", who bow their heads when they mention Ronald Reagan's name, have given him a god-like status and have it written in verse that Ronald Reagan is THE ONE who brought down the Soviet Union?
If I can look down from Heaven (or more likely, up from Hell) in a thousand years, I suspect that Rush Limbaugh's great, great, great, great, great grandson will be telling the tale of how Ronald Reagan walked up to the Berlin Wall and commanded it to fall... and it did. Then he parted the Red Sea and freed the Jews from Yassir Arafat. And finally, he forgave us all for our sins before being crucified on a cross by the Chinese.
History = his story or "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
As for the mission to get Osama... it was a beautiful team effort, and Obama was the captain of the team. Deal with it!
