Spiking the Football

A year ago, President Barack Hussein Obama stated categorically he would not "spike the football" in regard to the killing of Osama bin Laden.  Again, that was a year ago.  The reality today, as we celebrate the one year anniversary of the death of America's most wanted man, Obama is spiking the football in Afghanistan in front of the troops.  "I" decided we would go after OBL, "I" gave the go order, blah, blah, etc.    The only thing missing is that Obama didn't take credit for flying the helicopter in, kill OBL and then take off again.  Now, if you listen to the Democrats, they say they are not at all worried about President Obama's reelection, that he would win in a walk over Mitt Romney.  But, this sudden flight to Afghanistan, to spike the football, wreaks of desperation of a campaign that seemingly is teetering on the edge.  Of course, this was a campaign stop, paid courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.  I have stated previously that Obama's ego is his biggest problem.  He thinks he is automatically the smartest guy in the room.  His strong belief in Socialism, to cure all the ills of the people, is proof enough he is not very smart.

I honestly thought prior to the 2010 Congressional election, President Obama would move toward the center in order to limit losses in Congress.  Of course, that did not happen.  So, he has gone in the opposite direction.  He is now more liberal than when he was a senator.  He knows that Americans do not care for an extremist.  He and his pals in the Obama Administration are nothing but Left-wing extremists.  So, nothing is off limits now in a desperate bid to gain favor with the American voter.  I personally think his taking so much credit for the killing of OBL is going to hurt him.  People, as a rule, dislike a braggart.  Especially a braggart who is exaggerating their contribution in an action such as the killing of OBL.  What was so brave about giving the "go order?"  He knew where OBL was.  Obama had him dead to rights.  Yet, Obama took 16 hours before he gave the order to go in and take out OBL. Does that sound like a decisive leader to you?  Not to me and most rational thinking people.

Obama: Taking Credit for Killing Osama Bin Laden

I have often said that nothing President Obama does surprises me any longer.  His usurpation of the U.S. Constitution bypassing Congress with executive orders is one example.  He no longer is willing to do things the constitutional way.  He has total disdain for the U.S. Constitution.  He pushes a health care package by creating a crisis when there wasn't one.  Sure, health care cost were out of control.  We now learn from the CBO, that Obamacare is going to make matters much worse.  Obama creates a laughable "War on Women" that no one in their right mind actually can believe.  So, now on the first anniversary of the death of Osama Bin Laden, it should come as no surprise he is taking full credit for killing OBL.

President Obama is taking another victory lap one year later on his most famous and, in fact, only foreign policy achievement. What Obama did not expect this time around are the Navy Seals expressing outrage that BHO is taking such credit and using it for political favor with the voting public. Some are calling it much ado about nothing since the order to "go" was a no-brainer.  We had OBL dead to rights.  The people most responsible were the Navy Seals who carried out the mission.  It took no courage to sit idly by in the White House Situation Room watching the action take place.  I give President Obama credit for actually giving the go ahead to kill OBL.  But, the idea it was such a brave act, by the President, is giving the man far too much credit.  Of course, everything liberals do is considered "brave" and "heroic" in these days of the "Occupy Wall St." movement. 

It was a major victory in the war on terror with the killing of Osama Bin Laden.  But, the fact the President intends to make political hay out of this only discredits the brave act of the men involved in this action.
