Obama the Decision Maker: It Took 16 Hours for Obama to Make up his Mind to OK the Bin Laden Kill Navy Seal Mission
Let’s hope that President Barack Hussein Obama does not take this long to make decisions on the golf course as to what club he is going to choose.
As reported by The Daily Mail, it took President Barack Obama 16 hours to make up his mind as to whether he was going to “go” or “no go” the US Navy Seal incursion mission to kill Osama Bin Laden. When provided the option of getting Osama Bin Laden after months of Navy Seal training and preparation … Obama vacillated 16 hours and could have cost the mission due to events that could have taken place during his angst.
Barack Obama kept military commanders hanging by declaring he would ‘sleep on it’ before taking 16 hours to give the go-ahead to raid Bin Laden’s compound.
Hit squads of specialist Navy Seals – who were not even told who they were preparing to capture – had practiced the mission at two reconstructions of the terror chiefs sprawling compound.
But the president stunned officials when he told a national security meeting that he wanted more time to think – and disappeared out of the room.

Gallup Poll: Americans Approve of Military Action that Killed Osama Bin Laden & Give Credit to US NAVY Seal Team 6 and CIA
Sorry Barack, We the People know who the real heroes are …
According to a recent Gallup Poll, an overwhelming majority of Americans approve of the military action where US Navy Seal raided the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan and killed terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden. 93% of those polled approved of the strike that killed Bin laden while a scant 5% disapproved.
Navy Seal Team 6 … The Best of the Best
The Gallup poll also shows that much to President Obama’s dismay, Americans give the US military and the CIA the most credit for tracking down, finding and killing Bin Laden. According to “We the People,” 89% of Americans believe that the military deserves a great deal of credit and the CIA received 62%. However, Barack Obama comes in a distant, distant third with only 35%.
Military Gets the Most Credit
When Americans are asked how much credit they would give to Barack Obama, George W. Bush, the CIA, and the U.S. military for finding and killing bin Laden, the U.S. military and the CIA emerge as the big winners in the public’s eyes. Nearly 9 of 10 (89%) say the military deserves “a great deal of credit,” while 62% say the same about the CIA.
Americans are more reserved in giving credit to President Obama. Thirty-five percent say he deserves a great deal of credit and another 36% say he deserves “a moderate amount” of credit. More than a quarter say he does not deserve much or any credit at all.
35% eh, Barack? Looks like your I, I, I, me, me, me speech on Sunday night stating that Osama Bin Laden had been killed and you taking credit has not resonated with the People. Barbara Walters may want to recant her comment that they might as well cancel the 2012 Presidential election and Obama will be a slam dunk. Hardly. I have to agree 100% with Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion in their analysis of Obama’s narcissists speech … “Imagine what the numbers would look like if they said something nice about Bush.”
I will go one further, if Barack Obama wasn’t such an egotist and so high on himself, he had an opportunity to get an uber-poll bounce that would have had legs. BTW, where is the bounce? Forget saying something nice about W, imagine if Obama had invited former President George W. Bush to the WH for a joint presser that Bin Laden had been captured. The former president who started the process of hunting down Obama and the present one who was in office when Bin Laden was killed. Such a selfless and cooperative act would have shown that the war on terror is really about working together, but alas Obama, the most partisan president ever was simply incapable of bridging the divide and reaching across the aisle for the betterment of the country. Obama was once again too small for the moment.

US Rep. Peter King (NY-R): “Through Waterboarding … We Got Vital Information That Directly Led Us to Bin Laden” … Obama Wrong Again
Last night on ‘The Factor’ on Fox News, US Rep. Peter King (NY-R) stated to Bill Reilly that the information that led to Osama bin Laden’s death came as a result of waterboarding. Didn’t Barack Obama say that waterboarding does not work?
Video Hat Tip: the Gateway Pundit
“You mentioned the fact that we obtained information several years ago, vital information about the courier for Osama. We obtained that information through waterboarding. And, fo for those who say that waterboarding doesn’t work, that it should be stopped. We got vital information that directly led us to Bin Laden.”
Obama is against waterboarding, but it appears that he is not against taking credit for the fruits that came from waterboarding. Maybe Barack Obama would like to do two thinks, one, thank George W. Bush and two, admit that waterboarding works. Or is Obama going to tell us that this intel that started the process of finally killing Bin laden would have been obtained by talking nice to KSM?

VIDEO of the Compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan where Osama Bin Laden was Killed … Treasure Trove of Data Recovered
It turns out that Osama Bin laden was living for the past five to six years in the compound in Pakistan. The very compound where US Navy Seals killed him in a strategic raid. So much for living in caves when you can live the life of luxury and continue to make terror videos and receive health care in a million dollar compound. Pakistan has much explaining to do.
ABC’s exclusive VIDEO of the compound where Osama Bin Laden was killed.
The US Navy Seal Raid not only yielded the death of #1 terrorist Osama Bin laden, but also a treasure trove of information, intel and computer data. According to reports, “they cleaned it out”. One can only imagine the data and what could potentially be on the hard drive of a terrorist mastermind. The killing of Bin Laden may be symbolic; however, the data recovered may be the ultimate aid in the “war on terror” … or President Obama, is it still an “overseas contingency operation”.
The assault force of Navy SEALs snatched a trove of computer drives and disks during their weekend raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, yielding what a U.S. official called “the mother lode of intelligence.”
The special operations forces grabbed personal computers, thumb drives and electronic equipment during the lightning raid that killed bin Laden, officials told POLITICO

More Media Bias: Behar & Walters on ‘The View’ Politicize Death of Bin Laden … “Just Cancel 2012 Election Now”
Democrats never learn …
Both Joy Behar and Barbara Walters of ‘The View’ decided to politicize the death of Osama Bin Laden and declared that the 2012 Presidential election was over, Republicans need not apply. A partisan Barbara Walters stated after Bin Laden was killed by Navy Seals … “Just Cancel 2012 Election Now” and proclaimed “I would hate now to be a Republican candidate thinking of running.”
From Newsbusters:
Liberal comedienne Joy Behar played off a months-old comment by token conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Behar crowed, “As Elisabeth always says, they should just skip the next election.”
As the crew sat next to guest Brian Ross, Hasselbeck refused to join in: “Wait a minute. I think it is insane to politicize this event right now and I refuse to partake in that.”
