Politically speaking, Navy Seals aren't the safest targets to rail against in a presidential race, but the Obama campaign isn't hesitating to take down a group of former Seals who've criticized the president's national security decisions.
On Thursday morning, campaign officials waged a full court press against the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund, a group of former U.S. Special Forces and intelligence officials accusing President Obama of leaking vital national security secrets and taking too much credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden. When the group launched its anti-Obama media campaign Wednesday, consisting of TV ads and a 22-minute film, it wasn't clear if Obama officials would avoid a potentially messy confrontation or refute the military veterans publicly. But now the campaign has made clear it views the attacks in the same light as the 2004 John Kerry "Swift Boat" attack ads, which, however misleading, were painfully effective.
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told Reuters' Mark Hosenball last night. Taking a direct shot at the leaders of OPSEC, an Obama campaign official lambasted the group's accusations about national security leaks this morning. “No one in this group is in a position to speak with any authority on these issues and on what impact these leaks might have," said the official, speaking on background, "and it’s clear they’ve resorted to making things up for purely political reasons.
Less surprising is the hypocrisy. Think about it. Obama would receive 100% of the blame had the mission failed. Conservatives however feel he deserves zero credit for the success.
Much like the way conservatives credit Bush with keeping us safe after 9/11, but he's given a free pass on national security up until that point.
Does anyone see the hypocrisy?
I didn't think so.
What color is the sky in your world? I only ask because you're obviously not in the world the rest of us live in.
First off, you'd be hard pressed to find an American who doesn't honor the military. But within the military you have imperfect human beings same as anywhere else. And for a group of seals to privately put together a 22 minute attack video on Obama (which was paid for in part by American Crossroads - Karl Rove's SuperPAC), to openly attack a sitting President while calling yourself a military officer, is a shame and a disrespect to their station. It doesn't matter if you're a con or a lib. When you put on that uniform, you salute the President, or you go home. If you think your politics might get in the way of faithfully and honestly executing your duties as a soldier, then don't sign up.
My feeling were that we should have removed most of Congress and Bush during his administration and I feel even more so about this administration. The nation is headed for collapse as the morons applaud. Does that answer Your question.
And did you mean the infrastructure that the Repubs were formerly for but now that Obama's in favor of they're against? There's a word for that and it's called being a f'ing hypocrite.
They are not against doing the work on roads and bridges. They ask for cuts to pay for it. Before that Congress gave him his money and he threw it away. He gave some of the money directly to the state which used the money to shore up there own debt ridden government rather than spend it on the intended project. Remember shovel ready that the President seems to think is so funny. Then he takes 100's of billions of dollars and invest it in companies that have failed or have done poorly.
The President know how to make jobs as I have written and told him how, He needed a hint on how to do it. Needless to say he has only done used one of my suggestion after telling me that he was not going to do any of them. He is not interested in helping the economy or creating jobs unless they are in green energy or government jobs.
Everything that you have written above has stopped the President from creating jobs. Quit making excuses for him, he in inept. Before this year is up he will have driven up the debt 6 trillion dollars.
