Interesting. When the military was not taking action fast enough, Obama was directly to blame. Then they do have this success, and Obama gets none of the credit.

You've evidently missed how most conservatives play this card.

As I read accounts of how this unfolded, he did not order the military to take action or to come up with a plan. It is my understanding, the military asked for permission to use force and he granted permission. He was not proactive, he was reactive. How much credit does that deserve?

I am absolutely elated that this man was rescued and that the pirates did not get away with this.

3 pirates did not get away with this. There were more hijackings while we were watching our 1 captain. I'll give him credit when he does more than kill the couple of ants in his house and calls an exterminator.

... to see how some of you Obama-hating fear mongering race baiters deal with the rescue of the captain and the killing of several of the pirates. I can hardly wait to hear how Boortz and the others who were trying to make this a Muslim thing and infer that Obama was standing aside deals with today's events.

Talking about being a racist, did you notice what type of puppy the Obama's chose?........No, not a West Highland Terrier. So there you go.:ermm:

if they were hijacking boats on the TN river the governor would have created a new hunting season and those Somali's would have been stuffed and mounted in less than 1 hr.

We've had Seals in the area for days and IMO he waited too long.

Do you get the irony that when you make such posts you come off as what is often characterized as a "whiny liberal?"

And when you characterize others as; "hysterical jackals on the far right", you come off as a leftwise wingnut that cannot discuss anything in a logical and polite manner??

I really don’t care who takes credit for this, I will let LG worry about that. I am just thankful the Captain is alive and proud of the men and women in service.

Thank God for the military and the sharpshooters. Unless Obama was on that ship deck with a rifle in his hand, I am not sure how much praise should be heaped upon him. The heroes are the brave young men and woman in uniform. I am old enough to remember, as I am sure you are, when your left leaning pals were spitting on them and calling them Baby Killers…..but I digress.

So you're telling me, right now, that if it had turned out different and the captain had been executed, you would not be spinning this as the fault of Obama? After all, he wasn't on the ship deck with a rifle in hand to mess up, right?

Thanks rjd, appreciate you finding for me exactly what I was talking about.

What is really distressing is that people hate Obama so much that they actually will not take a moment to relish in this success and be grateful that it ended with saving this gentleman, instead trying to find reasons to minimize it. Just watch. It will all be about luck or something else. Guarantee some moron figures out a way to give credit to Bush.

Listen, the thing that amazes me about party loyalist like you is you do the exact same thing that you complain about when W was pres. For the record I think W was a pretty freaking bad pres. However, even when he did do things right he was insanely attacked by people that "hated him so much". Now the shoe is on the other foot and you can't handle the fact that there are people that really don't like this guy.

When Obama does something that I like he will get praise. So I guess, if he ordered the SeALs to take out the trash, I agree with his position. I can't speak for anyone else of course.

I still don't really understand the point of the thread. If it is to the point that we are supposed to go crazy praising a pres for doing something as elementary as this than we should all cash in our chips right now.

How could it have been the fault of Obama? As I understand it, the military took action when the three remaining pirates were visible to snipers and one was seen holding a gun to the back of the Captain. They perceived the captain in eminent danger and asked for permission to take action.

On the other hand, if Obama sat down with his military chiefs last week and ordered them to come up with the plans for a raid and the raid succeeded, then he should get credit, just as he would have been blasted if the raid he ordered failed. But since he was passive reactive rather than assertive proactive, we do not have to worry about that until another day.

MY BUDDY SUMMED IT UP WELL! Obama was just a piece of the puzzle the real heros were the men who risked their lives. Good for Obama but Obama needed the info from our military so it is a team effort.
