		<description>There&#039;s a reason Glenn Beck is doing well in his time slot on Fox. He&#039;s actually a lot better waste of my time then Hannity.
I haven&#039;t listened to Hannity in over 6 months or so because he got so damn repetitive.</description>

		<description>Obama has a proven track record of being ducking the issue when it doesn&#039;t make him look good, as well as stealing all the credit for anything positive. So it&#039;s my bet that Obama and his flying monkeys at the White House were fully prepared to dump all the blame on Commander Castellano, the skipper of the USS Bainbridge, if any part of the hostage rescue went wrong. In other words, we&#039;ve got a two-faced sonofabitch for a POTUS. 

Thank God today&#039;s Tea Parties all over the USA show that Obama will be facing a veto-proof Republican House &amp; Senate after the 2010 midterm elections. Then he &amp; Greazy Joe Biden can sit in the White House with their thumbs up their asses for the next two years until they&#039;re inevitably voted out in a landslide.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Sean Hannity has become an ass. Yeah, his core values are are in the right place, but his political persona like O&#039;Really&#039;s is blowhard. I like the metaphor of someone&#039;s ego being large enough to have his own magnetic field. &lt;/strong&gt;

At least Rush has some &quot;sincere&quot; self deprecating humor.</description>

		<description>I have a bias towards those who agree with me, so I agree with Bernie.  To me, Sean seems to be speaking more as an ideologue than as an student of politics or as an objective evaluator of Presidential performance.

You show your butt when you don&#039;t give credit when it is due.</description>

		<description>lol.. oh those Carter days.  I miss that Billy Beer.  heh.

Hannity is just getting anxious because Beck is closing in on him in the ratings so he&#039;s trying too hard to create a crisis.</description>

		<description>I see both of their points, but I side with Bernie on this one.  Even though Hannity was right how ridiculous it is for the media to be singing Obama such praises for &lt;em&gt;doing his job&lt;/em&gt;, in the end he still did the right thing.

Yes, I had extremely low expectations of Obama and yes, Obama seemed like he was hesitant to use force (the pirate made it to 20 miles from the coast) but in the end, everything went well.  Obama has pleased me by not pulling out of Iraq immediately, sending more troops to the AfPak effort and reversing hismelf on the surveillance issue.  There is plenty about him that has me concerned when it comes to defense but there are certain areas where I have breathed a sigh of relief.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;how many people here can honestly say that they wouldn’t have blamed Obama had this gone wrong?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Depends on why they went wrong, just like Bernie said. Of course, I agree with Bernie on all phases of his argument. 

Hannity bothers me because he thinks he&#039;s a better debater than he is.</description>

		<description>I understand, respect &amp; agree with both Sean &amp; Bernie&#039;s stance on this issue. Both are right.  

The problem with the left is you give them an inch &amp; before the week is over they are nominating O for the Nobel Peace Prize.</description>

		<description>Bernie Goldberg was right.  Even if most of you don&#039;t think Obama deserves the credit (and I don&#039;t know anyone who thinks he deserves &lt;em&gt;all &lt;/em&gt;the credit), how many people here can honestly say that they wouldn&#039;t have blamed Obama had this gone wrong?

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In fact, Obama would be getting criticized by the Left for unnecessary violence which will ‘inevitably’ lead to retaliation ….

BD57 on April 14, 2009 at 7:14 PM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Beat me too it.  George Bush wouldn&#039;t have even let this become a crisis; it would have probably ended much quicker and in the same way.  The liberals that are strutting around her with their chests puffed up would be screeching that Bush committed a war crime by having 3 teenagers shot.  But, since wet eared rookie did it, we get to listen the theme of &lt;em&gt;He-man&lt;/em&gt;being played over, and over again.
Look, the whole reason the left is so puffed up with pride is because they thought Obama was going to p**sy out too.  They were getting ready to make excuses for the Captain dying; all Obama did, was get out of the way.  His absolute refusal to even make a general statement on this indicated to me not that he was &#039;cool and collected&#039; but that he was trying to keep a low profile in case the sh*t hit the fan.  Had this gone bad, you&#039;d hear all about a naval officer that didn&#039;t follow Obama&#039;s orders; I will bet good money on that.</description>

		<description>BD57:

I don&#039;t really think so. I am not defending Democrats, but I can not imagine that any President would just let that man die in full view of the US Navy. In fact, the very fact that this is a big deal is ridiculous. The Navy should have finished it on day one without even having to bring Obama into it.</description>

		<description>Obama gets credit for &quot;not playing to type.&quot;

Given what you&#039;d expect from a Democrat, he beat the standard.

But it&#039;s a VERY LOW standard ... if Obama was a Republican, there&#039;d be nothing at all unusual about his decision.

		<description>KBird:

I don&#039;t think so. Exactly what was the alternative? Those guys were not going to sit in that dinghy for 400 days like the hostages did in Tehran. And if the whole thing was finished because Obama gave an order to shoot to kill if the hostage&#039;s life was in danger...does that mean they could not shoot to kill to save the man on the first or second or third or fourth day.

Obama let this whole drag out too long and then when the decision was made to end it, he made sure his butt was covered. 

I refuse to the give the President of the United States &lt;em&gt;credit&lt;/em&gt; for doing something that any President with an ounce of honor would do. It is just ridiculous.</description>

And if the whole thing was finished because Obama gave an order to shoot to kill if the hostage&#8217;s life was in danger&#8230;does that mean they could not shoot to kill to save the man on the first or second or third or fourth day.</p>
<p>Obama let this whole drag out too long and then when the decision was made to end it, he made sure his butt was covered. </p>
<p>I refuse to the give the President of the United States <em>credit</em> for doing something that any President with an ounce of honor would do. It is just ridiculous.</p>

		<description>I trust &lt;em&gt;Blackfive &lt;/em&gt;on these matters - &lt;em&gt;Uncle Jimbo&lt;/em&gt; says:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I now have multiple confirmations saying that the initial set of rules that Obama put on the Navy forbid any active attempts to rescue the hostage and only after they requested he reinstate their authority to act if the hostage was in imminent danger did he do so.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>LOL yeah that was one of the rare times I saw S. Hannity kind of taken back. I thought it was good. Most the time Bernie and him are on the same page.

Good to keep Hannity on his toes.</description>

		<description>Hannity is doing the very thing everyone was after the media going after GW, he is starting to sound as if he is just nitpicking. Go after his policies but don&#039;t sound as if the guy is the devil, his policies suck but don&#039;t go after him because of the dog he likes.</description>

		<description>Ed:

I don&#039;t think Obama deserves any credit. The Seals did the job. Exactly what was Obama&#039;s alternative or risk? I am not defending Carter, but the American embassy in Tehran with hundreds of hostages in a hostile place is a lot different from 4 guys with one hostage surrounded by the US Navy. There is no way the Navy was just going to sit there and watch the pirates murder the man in any event. It is not as if they did not have the legal right to act, even without that order.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Bernie was right, Hannity is going over board trying to find every little thing wrong…and it will backfire.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah that BDS tactic really &quot;backfired&quot; on the Democrats too didn&#039;t it?!

Fact is the Somali PieRats do what they do because the global liberal elite has handcuffed the USN. Now, either by design or mistake the Somalis/muslims, aka skinny&#039;s, attacked a U.S. operated vessel on the high seas, and took an American hostage. The kat soaked skinny&#039;s, and their handlers, had every reason to expect that the Obama Admin, like the Carter Admin, would rollover. Happilly for the Master of the Alabama Maersk, the well trained USN was unchained long-enough to solve the current tactical problem.

Now, if the O&#039;bama clique and the driveby press expect some % of credit to accrue to the Admin, they need to resolve the underlying problem which led to the crisis in the first place. That is, address the sin of ommission, that has allowed a failed state to deploy its flotsam to attack merchants in transit on the sealanes.

On the hostage issue, the Alabama Captain was correct, the USN and the Seal Team, are the &quot;heroes&quot;, and they, not Obama earned all the gedunk(awards) in the game. If they want glory, the Administration, including the CinC, should get their leftist/statist arses  in gear, and commence cleaning out the onshore pirate dens in Somalia and everywhere else! They can Start buy destroying all smallcraft that puts to sea, with other than sail or oar power! But they won&#039;t will they?

&lt;em&gt;&quot;Let&#039;s Roll&quot;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Again ... Obama had really no role in rescuing this Captain.  He gave an SOP order - and that is it.

His REAL role as CINC ... is to create a foriegn policy that DETERS this kind of conduct.  Bush created and maintained such a policy - and idiots remained clear of US Flagged vessels.

Obama - known to be soft on offense even when he was CANDIDATE Obama - is elected, goes on an apology tour to Europe and the Pirates suddenly take a US Ship. 

This is not a coincidence.

So in Obama&#039;s PRIMARY role of detererrence.  He failed - simple as that.  The fact that the Navy was there as his &quot;safety net&quot; and corrected the situation was helpful - but it was not a credit to anything Obama did.  If he&#039;d done his job - the pirates would have not dared to take the ship in the first place.

They never once attacked a US Ship when Bush was President.  This bears repeating.  It is fact.</description>
