There is a reasonably credible sounding story circulating on the Internet that says President Obama was only made aware of operation after it was underway. According to that account, Valerie Jarrett stonewalled earlier dates for the action and was livid with others who initiated it. I could find no credible source for the information so I'll take it no further.AndyC wrote:Full credit to the man for giving the "go" when not knowing for sure that Bin Laden was even there - but the intel which was instrumental in finding him was dug up long ago. I'm slightly more impressed with his nerve than I was before, but I wouldn't vote for him.
I can only hope that the American voters are more than a "one trick pony." There are many major topics which affect our lives today from energy to unemployment to the gargantuan National debt. I'm counting on people voting their pocketbooks and electing a leader who will make things better, not continue to make things worse. We can thank both sides of the isle for the current pickle we are in. We need solutions, not leaders who generate more problems.
