BARACK OBAMA NOT BIN LADEN HERO, ITS ALL ABOUT SEAL TEAM 6

One year after the demise of the most notorious person on the planet, Usama bin Laden the death of the worlds most wanted person has become a political football thanks to the man who stated at the time of bin Laden's death that it should not be used for political reason, Barack Obama. In the days after Navy Seal Team 6 killed the Al Qaeda leader Obama made the rounds on TV and stated that he would not, "spike the football," over the killing, nor should there be great celebration and now one year later as his campaign for reelection is struggling, Obama is doing just what he said shouldn't be done.

In fact so much so that ads, campaign rhetoric coming from his camp and yes, even finger pointing against Romney are trying to make Obama look like a great hero and completely neglecting the fact that it was the efforts of Americas finest, namely Seal Team 6 that killed bin Laden.  In campaign ads designed to attempt to make Obama look like the only decisive and strong Commander in Chief the country has ever had the accusation is even being made that Mitt Romney would not have made the call had he been President based on a statement he made last year that he would not use a exorbitant amount of resources to find one man.

The fact is that ANY Commander in Chief would have given the go for getting bin Laden and if he hadn't it would have been an almost impeachable offense in the eyes of the American people and for Obama to demand that Romney, "explain himself," over his statement is not only ridiculous but arrogant and using the death of bin Laden solely for political gain.  Then adding insult to injury to make ads, speeches and send his cohorts on the talking head circuit to brag on the boss for making the call, taking all the credit with only a passing if at all mention of the brave soldiers who actually risked their lives killing bin Laden moves beyond disgusting.

It is fine to remember the death of bin Laden on this anniversary and yes even for Obama to take a certain amount of credit for giving the go. But making it into a brave act that only he would have done in order to make political hey of the event is a new low for a man who finds new lows nearly every day. Giving the go signal was the ONLY logical recourse as the Seals had bin Laden in their sights. It did not take courage nor bravery to make the call.  The courage and bravery belongs ONLY to those whose lives were risked in order to kill bin Laden.

The death of the Al Qaeda leader was and still is a great achievement and deserves remembrance but using it for political gain and especially using it to build the ego of one man namely Barack Obama should disgust the people of this Nation enough to make sure this lying, arrogant, ridiculous failed politician is removed from Office in an overwhelming landslide on November 6 and forced into historical oblivion in January as he leaves Washington for the good of the country.
