it happened on his watch, he gave the order to take him out, he gets to share in the credit....if it had failed, and if hard core conservatives were honest, they would admit that they would have crucified him, compared the attempt to the failed rescue attempt by the Carter administration to rescue the hostages....the right would have put all the blame on his shoulders if this would have failed....it just kills the right that Obama gets to claim some credit. :cool:

Generally, presidents give credit for successful operations to the people on the ground and avoid taking direct credit for their actions.

Also, giving an order really does mean just about nothing.

The video cut out a lot of the praise and credit he gave to not only the SEALs, but also President Bush.
 
I think a much, much better question (and far more appropriate) would be:

Would Republicans ever give credit to President Obama, for having done anything right, at any time, and under any circumstances?

if he doesnt give the order, the operation doesnt happen...so the order does mean something...Obama put his Presidency at stake, he took a real risk giving the go ahead, knowing full well that if it failed, the right would use it as a hammer on him.
 
Did you lefties listen to Clinton's comments insinuating that id things went wrong it would be bade for Hussein Obama...........My question for you is how about Seal team 6....Would it be bad for them? Give me a ****ing break......

the video wouldnt change my opinion navy, sorry, it won't....everything i said is the stone cold truth...if it had failed, obama would have gotten ALL THE BLAME from the right...why shouldnt he share in some of the success?. be honest navy, you would have been one of the first on his arse if it had failed, screaming about how it would have been a reflection of his Presidency....

It sure does. It means he called for action on a plan given to him by the military and carried out by the military. Being the ok guy that does nothing else doesn't deserve much credit.

Oh please, everything a president does could risk him his job and the opponents could have fun with it. I grow tired of Obama supporters thinking this is actually new.

What about the SEAL 6 guys? I notice you don't mention them........You do know they are the ones laying their life on the line........If the mission had failed don't you think it would have been much worse for them then Obama?

Actually in terms of what Clinton was talking about he is right. He was talking about what politically could have gone wrong for Obama had the mission gone bad.

Common sense and facts dont work in nonsense threads like these.

CLinton was 100% right, the conversation was ABOUT Obama and he answered it properly, at no time what so ever did he suggest the seal team was meaningless or didnt matter and only a complete moron would assume that.
 
Every president has done the same thing...tout their military success' when running for re election...or take credit for someone elses...common practice, obama doing it is no different..

They are stupid no matter who posts them, unless the video is an unedited eyewitness type report. Or comedy.

And to answer your OP, he is doing exactly what every president does, taking credit for successes of his administration.

Well the guys from SEAL TEAM 6 would probably be dead.........At least Hussein Obama would be safe and sound in the White House wouldn't he.....

notice i said 'some'...read for comprehension my friend...very proud of our seals ....no kidding navy, they carried out a dangerous mission, and could have died....thankfully, that didnt happen, and the mission was a great success...God bless our men and women in uniform...they stand ready to do great violence so that we may sleep at night.

yes he did. He made a speech following his capture(minus the juvenile namecalling), explaining how great it was.
 
Hey Navy Pride...or more appropriately Voice of Reason,

If you're so angry about Obama politicizing terrorism, why did you say absolutely nothing on Whistlestopper when Cheney said that if Kerry was elected, we'd see a successful terrorist attack?

Obama's pulling the same **** the GOP did when it comes to terrorism. It's just you have a problem when the tactic you love to hit Democrats on is used against you.
