The President, as I have said more than once, is deserving of high fives for his decision to pull the trigger authorizing the operation that lead to the demise of bin Laden. Yet, with each passing day, there are more and more questions surfacing as to the administration's handling of issues post bin Laden.

A president who doesn't know how to spin? Refreshing....
ReplyDeleteKinda nitpicky, really.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Pentagon should not have released some of the earlier narratives.
No, I've heard the administration and the Pentagon praise earlier efforts and attribute them to this one.
Maybe the photo thing was bungled a bit, but I guess it deserved a genuine debate that could only take place after the fact anyway, so I see it as sort of inevitable.
"Letting" debates "get out of control" (a subjective standard) is a hard thing to tag on the administration. Often, no matter what they do, spinmasters in the media and on the Hill will make the debate get out of "control" as far as some are concerned. Let's put it this way - I don't even have the kind of birth certificate you guys apparently demand, and if I'm not and American, I'd sure like to know what the hell I am!
It's the pols and pundits who propagate this stupidity who make the debate get out of control. They do it by creating these frivolous debates. It's not the administration creating these stupid pseudo-issues.
The administration plays these conspiracy genuises sometimes, and sometimes they just placate them. It's not bungling - it's tactical. One shouldn't handle every situation that comes your way head on, full steam, immediately. People that do that are called @$$#@!@$.
So, Halperin is just being a bit of a b!#@h here. That's okay though. It's in his job decription. He's one of those guys who make debates get out of control. That's why Time magazine is only good for a doctor's office coffee table.

Oh, Mr. Obama has his share of spinmasters. No doubt some of the best.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who "you guys" refer to. Other than Iam pretty sure it means anybody who disagrees with the lefist thought train.
ReplyDeleteIt seems any valid concerns over anything Obama does is nitpicky to you JMJ.
Jersey's still smokin' that hopium.
ReplyDeleteThe blunderbags in the Obama administration blew it. They are amateurs. Now the conspiracy theorists are having a field day.
I would be tempted to think Obama bungled this on purpose, but he has bungled so much that this just fits the pattern.
I miss the day when we had a President who know what he was doing, and could be counted on acting in the public interest most of the time, instead acting in the public interest only on rare occasions.
ReplyDeleteSilver - I believe you may be right. And I hear hopium is addictive to the lesser personalities.
ReplyDeletedmarks - I share your sentiments.
ReplyDelete@dmarks,
ReplyDeleteI'm with Les on this one. Nicely said, sir.
