We’d say liberal journalists are attempting to create the image of Obama the Warrior “for some unknown reason,” but we all know the reason:
He’s weak on defense and terrorism and as November 2012 draws near they’ll do anything they can do bolster his credentials.
Are we exaggerating? Hardly. Here’s Margaret Carlson on MSNBC’s Morning Joe doing exactly as we said.
Scarborough: We’ll have time to get to the nitpicking. But should this not be about Barack Obama making a decisive decision when the rest of his cabinet wasn’t sure whether he should do it or not?
Carlson: We’re not asking for a Hollywood movie. We’re just asking for a moment when Professor Obama turned into General Obama and ran this incredible raid. That took a lot of guts, the kind of thing you do see in a Hollywood movie.
General Obama?
Surely, you say, this is an isolated incident. This can’t possibly be an on-going liberal theme.
Well, here’s Howard Fineman in the Huffington Post:
By calmly and meticulously overseeing the successful targeting of Osama bin Laden, President Barack Obama just proved himself — vividly, in almost Biblical terms — to be an effective commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States.
Biblical, Howard?
The only thing biblical about it is that it’s such an overstatement that it causes us to say, “Good lord.”

Here is another version about how this decision was made:

The liberals will now nominate Obama for another Nobel Peace Prize
Bush = Warmonger = Bad
Obama = Warrior = Good
I guess it's too subtle for me to grasp the nuance.
Liberal hypocrisy and double standards are heavily notated. I have come to expect nothing more from them.
When you have to say "look how tough I am", you are not very tough. Observant people can see when someone is truly tough or has courage or has the gonad do what needs to be done.
Beating ones drum only makes you look weak and cowardly. I guess the previous sentence sums up barry very well.
Leave it to the libs to prop up the puppet and try to make it into Thor.
I'm thinking that the SEALs that DID the job came home, patted each other on the back, and went out for a beer. When you're a SEAL, you don't have to tell anyone how tough you are. My friend that is an ex-SEAL rarely even talks about it, and he doesn't talk about how tough he is, either. But you can bet I know it without him saying it.
Did I hear her correctly, my right ear is deaf, did she say: "...when professor Obama turned into general Obama and ran this incredible, incredible raid..." Did I hear that correctly; please somebody, contradict me! And then did I hear the following: "It took a lot of guts, the kind of thing you do see in a Hollywood movie..." And did I see the first blush of childish puppy-love on her face as she gushingly announced these blasphemies? Please, someone, anyone, tell me I'm hallucinating!
The only kind of a raid he is capable of commanding is a combination panty raid/tent theft.
...or a corporate raid.
He likes being a pirate:

As the esteemed Mr. Limbaugh said, obama's more than willing to take the credit for something he had very little to do with, and in fact tried to impede and has subsequently shut down or tried to, all the things that made it possible. At the same time all his grand "accomplishments" are things he dares not remind us of: socialized medicine, failed stimulus...er.. dimocrat party and public sector union slush fund, takeover of two car companies, bank takeovers etc. etc.
Obama is a warrior like Bill Clinton is the Pope.
...or an abstinence lecturer.
I did not just read all that did I? Oh wait, I did and I still can not believe how incredibly ignorant they all sound. Like I've said before, they are so far up his rear only their toes are showing and they are dripping with showbamas excrement. Ahggg, what is wrong with people?
Scarborough: We’ll have time to get to the nitpicking. But should this not be about Barack Obama making a decisive decision when the rest of his cabinet wasn’t sure whether he should do it or not?
As opposed to making an indecisive decision? What the hell alternate reality do these people live in? Are they on TV because they're not qualified to be out squeegeeing windshields for quarters?
BTW, I heard that it took President Barack "decisive decison" 16 hours to "decide decisively" to issue the order. That is 15 hours, 59 minutes and 50 seconds more than it would taken any one of us. He could've flown to Pakistan and offed OBL by himself in that time. We're damn lucky he was not president during the Cold War - the Soviets could've nuked the entire country before Mr. Decisive would've been able to decide to come out from under his desk.
Well, we know how long it took the "little o" to decide to give the commanders significantly less troops in Afghanistan than they asked for too.
Remember how long it took him to decide to pull the trigger on the Somali pirates? I mean seriously - Our people wre in danger, there should've been no hesitation. Same with Osama.
He never gave the decision to"pull the trigger" on the pirates. The order was that they were only to taken out if the hostage was in imminent danger. One of them pointed an AK at the captain nonchalantly and then they got blasted. I always felt that Braaack was upset with the outcome. He doesn't deserve ANY credit with the pirate outcome-it could have turned into a longterm hostage situation.
Good, let them work at it non stop till global warming makes hell freeze over. The only people who give a sh__ about national defense are way to smart to believe this BS about this POS. What it will do is alienate his anti-American base.
The lapdog isn't the smartest bread.
The Pentagon put the whole op together. The only thing Obama did was say "OK, go ahead."
From what I understand, it took him longer to make the decision than it took to plan the whole thing. The only thing he risked was looking bad. The military calls these guys REMFs.
Excellent Ray. The Rear Echelon Mother F$^%er in Chief. Perfect title for him!
