In other news, Presser with Vice Adm. Gortney as seen on CNN:

Dumbass reporter asked incredulously after Admiral confirmed that Pres. Obama gave the orders for the rescue....."But that was a standing order, right? The President wasn't on the phone talking to the rescue operation as it was happening, right?"

Response, Yes, that's right, he wasn't on the phone directing the attack as it happened!


Reporters are hating that they have to report that President Obama had anything to do with this successful rescue!

They are so pathetic! :rofl:

[Thrill]

1. He's clearly going to get the treatment Clinton got with the media

Blame for everything that goes wrong. No credit for everything that goes right.

[VeraAgnes]

5. Ed Schultz and

Keith, Rachel, Leno and Letterman will take care of right-wing this plot.

[Cha]

20. "Going to get"? Is getting and has been

getting since they realized he could take this thing.

The corporatemediawhoredom only exists for one purpose and that is to manipulate and manufacture the news in order to perpetuate fascism.

They are Public Enemy Number One.

2. He'll be in the House galley at the 2010 State of the Union address

Write it down.

[PopSixSquish]

3. And What was the Vice Adm's Response?

I know what mine would have been...

[FrenchieCat]

4. Something like "that's right, he wasn't on the phone directing the attack as it happened..."

or something in that order.

Cause that was a ridiculous question.

Same kind of questions as if Reporters would have asked whether our President had gone joined the Navy Seals in their rescue mission!

6. "Okay, guys. Two of you go to the right of the boat. The other two, to the left."

"Now go in and take those pirates out!" - President Barack Obama.

LOL!! :rofl:

[FrenchieCat]

7. I'll be right over, as soon as I locate my wet suit!

I'm about to get into my speed boat. Wait up!

[Uzybone]

11. LOL

hahahhaha

[Median Democrat]

18. Hey, You Know John McCain Would Have Suspended His Presidency...

...and try to fly in and direct the operation himself.

[BlooInBloo]

8. I can't wait to see how the ihateobama DUers whine about this.

[FrenchieCat]

9. They'll certainly try and find a way.....

That is the platform of their party, afterall.

[Ian David]

10. Did they think Obama was watching a live satelite feed directing people into positions?

Someone has been watching too many Tom "Alan Keyes" Clancy movies.

[empyreanisles]

15. ...or "24" episodes. (Though I do love, 24!!)

"This is Obama. We have a greenlight, GO ! GO! GO!" ....

[Ian David]

16. "Unit One... This is Obama... your left flank is exposed. Take cover behind that barrel." n/t

[empyreanisles]

19. LOL! Exactly. (n/t)

[Politicalboi]

12. Do they know

President Obama was the one who rescued the captain. He and Bo jumped in and saved him.



See here and he even swam back to shore. And that's captain Phillips behind him. This photo was taken a few minutes after he came back to shore becuase he also had one hand tied behind his back. What a guy.

[Jennicut]

17. Hee hee. Bo is a Portuguese "water dog" after all.

:)
And The Prez looks damn good in the water.

[Clio the Leo]

13. But you gotta give props to the reporter just before him...

... who brought the matter up "we've heard rumors that the President gave the order, is that true?"

[MiniMe]

14. He gave the order to go, and allowed the professionals to handle it

That is the best response imho.
