Pirates? Hostages? Hell...I feel sorry for the President.

I doubt he rests easily knowing he okayed those killings. He didn't come into this Presidency with the bloodlust we've become so accustomed to in the past 8 years.

1. Generally speaking, I can't understand how anyone would want to be President.
It must be like trying to drive a 10.000 tons oil tanker through an ocean of icebergs and explosive mines.

2. I've no doubt he slept like a baby. He was defending an innocent.
To be president is like being a quarterback, you have to have ice in your veins. He's got it. And that's a GOOD thing.

Now, how FDR slept the night of the D-Day invasion I do not know. Eleanor was prowling around like a cat, so, when the call came at - 3am - Gen. Marshall was put through to her and she went and woke FDR to hear the first reports of the action.

3. Freeing Capt. Phillips was priority one, no matter what it took.
I'll bet President Obama slept well.
