Michael Mukasey: Obama and the bin Laden Bragging Rights

By Michael B. Mukasey, wsj online

The first anniversary of the SEAL Team 6 operation that killed Osama bin Laden brings the news that President Obama plans during the coming campaign to exploit the bragging rights to the achievement. That plan invites scrutiny that is unlikely to benefit him.

Comment:

He compares Obama's behavior with Lincoln and Eisenhower.  The comparison doesn't favor Obama.

Obama shielded himself from any possible blame if things went wrong.  Eisenhower wrote a note taking full responsibility for any failure for the invasion on D Day, if it had failed.  Lincoln took responsibility for failures.

Does Obama take responsibility for when things go wrong?  He seems to blame someone else, but look at who he is comparing himself to now- Bush.  Bush is the guy Obama blames for the problems that he is having now.

 And who is narrating the video but the guy who refused an easy opportunity take OBL down himself- Clinton.

You gotta give Obama credit for one thing and that is this: he has chutzpa.
