Interesting and very ironic post on my rignt-wing brother's Facebook page. [View all]

So a few days ago my right-wing brother posted something on Facebook about the Bin-Laden raid. It said something like thanking Obama for getting rid of Bin-Laden is like going to McDonalds and thanking Ronald for your hamburger instead of the people making it. He said you should thank the people who did the work, not the clown.

However, there is a bit of a problem. Wouldn't Obama be more like the CEO in this case, and not the mascot? So, is he unintentionally saying that CEOs don't do work and simply take credit for the work done by their employees? Perhaps, I'm reading too much into it, but I found the post rather ironic and well stupid.
