Rather pathetic, isn’t it?  Try as hard as they might, the Obama reelection team simply cannot conjure up any startling achievement of Barack Obama during his first three and one-half years of rule.  Thus far his campaign has consisted of two elements.  (1) The economy is “turning the corner,” (more on that in the next item), and (2) The Republicans want to end all education, shut all hospitals and end all medical care, fire all police officers and firemen, and barricade all federal highways. 

So the search for some Obama achievement has finally settled on possibly the only thing out there.  He got bin Laden. Oh yeah!  The reason we can’t reveal the identities of the Navy Seal Team members who were on that raid is because one of them was actually Barack Obama!  Or maybe not.  Not only that, but Dear Ruler has a campaign ad on his website questioning whether or not Mitt Romney would have done the same thing.  So there you have it.  Obama got bin Laden, and Romney would have passed.  Obama myrmidons will buy that --- maybe --- but hopefully the rest of America hasn’t become that addle-brained. 

The truth – as we’ve revealed on the show many times – is that all Barack Obama did was to get out of the way and let these men do their job.  We’ve also learned that operational control of this detail was not in the hands of Barack Obama.  Time Magazine reports that the man running the show was actually Admiral William McRaven, a former Navy Seal.  Here’s how it worked.  A risk profile of the operation – the best and worst possible scenarios – was presented to Obama.  Obama then approved the operation based on the risk profile presented him. 

I may be wrong – but it just seems to me that those people out there without work; the people who have lost their retirements; the people who’s homes are underwater and who can’t find relief – perhaps these people are a bit more concerned about their own economic condition than they are about just who pulled the trigger on bin Laden.  “He’s dead.  Good.  But I still don’t have a job and I’m losing my home.  Do something about that, hot shot, and maybe you’ll get my support.”
