In a rather tawdry campaign video, president Obama's team is now claiming that Obama should be re-elected because he made the decision to go after bin Laden and Romney would have decided the other way. Unbelievable. Other than Joe Biden (who already told us that he was against the raid that got bin Laden), it is hard to imagine any American president who would have said no to that strike. Had George Bush done it, the same folks who are now promoting this video would be telling us that Bush is a cowboy. But the truth is that any American president would have done it. As a result, the campaign video is really tacky.
What is truly funny about the whole thing though is this: in the video, there is no shot in which Romney says he would not have sent the seals after bin Laden. Instead, there is video of Wolf Blitzer asking Romney whether or not his criticism of Obama's handling of the relationship with Pakistan means that he [Romney] would not have gone after bin Laden. They do not even bother to show the answer.
