He doesn&#8217;t need to, not when his fanboys will shout it out from the rooftops for him every chance they get. Obama was giving his usual stump speech at his soiree in Austin, going through the &#8220;we&#8217;ve made so much progress&#8221; stuff, riffing on his hopeychangey themes and generally being his one-note self, when some yayhoo shouts &#8220;Thank you for getting bin Laden!&#8221; As if Obama himself was riding in that stealth Blackhawk clutching an automatic rifle, grenades strapped to his chest, fast roping down into the compound to look the old terrorist right into the eye before putting a bullet in it. The most that can be said is that Obama made the same decision that Bush made at least twice &#8212; to send in a commando team to get bin Laden &#8212; but that it finally happened on Obama&#8217;s watch. That&#8217;s the most that can be said of him. And there&#8217;s scuttlebutt that he wasn&#8217;t all that decisive in making the call, unless you&#8217;re cool with giving bin Laden a possible 16 hour window to escape while Brackets thought it over. Gutsycall.com? More like callthathappenedseveraltimesbeforeitfinallyworked.com. Granted, the latter isn&#8217;t likely to catch on.]]>Tue, 10 May 2011 19:31:43 -0400<![CDATA[Bryan Preston]]>https://pjmedia.com/bryan-preston-1/2011/05/10/video-obama-osama-bin-gotten-should-inspire-us-to-finish-what-we-started-n147193
