Reply #41: The fact remains: We got him! Obama put his arse on the line and he now deserves credit for it..

Can you imagine if the thing had really been botched?! Lawrence O'Donnell mentioned Jimmy Carter's experience last night; the failed op into Iran to rescue American hostages. People died, and Carter got roasted, whether he deserved it or not. Obama would be totally done if both those chopper's had crashed and men had been killed. Unlike other presidents who chose to launch missiles from afar, or perhaps would rather just bomb the hell out of someplace, Obama took the greater risk. People might say, "well, he didn't risk his own skin". Well, hell! What do you expect a President or any real leader to do?!! They make the tough choices and they reap the consequences.
