1) President Obama, as Commander in Chief, made the choices, within the purview of his role in the United States government, that promoted this particular course of action, which actually went against the advice of some of his advisors .... He chose the specific type of action, even though it was risky and fraught with the possibility of failure ....

For that ? ... Supporters would praise him for his courage and forethought, and detractors would condemn him for his rashness and foolishness ...

There is no doubt that Obama played a role .... One that history will bear out, one way or the other ...

2) I have right wing friends and family, and very few of them ever mentioned it .... NONE have praised him for it, but none, save one, has mentioned it at all .... The one did mention it, but seemed to apparently forgot to mention Obama completely ... good or bad ....

I have deleted one RW extremist sister from my friends list .... Tis a pity, but I don't need that negativity in my life ...

Dump all assholes from your friends list ....
