If you've been reading this blog since I started writing it last year, you know I have been very critical of President Obama and his policies. His handling of our economic situation has been nothing if not inept. His tour around the world apologizing for our country and our way of life was embarrassing and uncalled for. His reliance on the UN to authorize our involvement in Lybia instead of going through congress was unconstitutional and may yet prove to be his un-doing. I will continue to be critical of those issues but not today.
Today I want to say "Thank you Mr. President for a job well done."
By getting rid of ubl up close and personal with a seal team instead of by air attack, he allowed us to rejoice in a hard fought victory over evil while at the same time leaving no doubt of his death. To all of those who are finding fault with the President on this issue I beg you to stop and put your ideology aside. Of all the options he had on Sunday morning, the one he chose was not the easiest. No, he did not fly there. No, he did not shoot ubl or come under any fire. None of that matters. In this instance he was the only person who could have allowed this operation to take place. Period. He didn't blow it by worrying about the Pakastanis, who it turns out may have been harboring ubl for years, or by sharing the plan with any of our so called allies. Did he take too much credit when he announced the victory? Probably, but who could blame him for a little gloating. After all, he's been getting beat up a ton lately. Has the decision to show the photographs or not show them dragged on too long. Yes, but that doesn't change the outcome of ubl being dead.
Thank you Mr. President, once again, on the behalf of all Americans, especially those killed on 9-11 like Brian Sweeney from Spencer and all the others, for allowing justice to be brought upon the one man who was most responsible for the deaths of so many innocent people on that fateful day.
