You Have to Wonder

There is now another book by a respected reporter who tells us that president Obama was convinced three times by Valerie Jarrett to refuse approval for the mission to get Osama bin Laden. This latest book says that secretary of state Clinton was the one who finally convinced Obama that he had to let the mission proceed and that the only argument that succeeded was her point that if Obama refused the mission and word leaked out, Obama would be destroyed politically. That's right, the bin Laden mission that Obama sells as his great leadership moment was actually just part of his re-election strategy according to this book.

I do not know if this is true. Not surprisingly, the folks at the White House deny it. Of course, since this White House has been shown to be run by habitual liars, the denials mean little. Still, it is hard to believe that any American president could judge the opportunity to kill or capture Osama bin Laden on the basis of how it would affect his campaign. What about the thousands of Americans who bin Laden killed? Of course, when we watch the dishonest campaign by Obama who has shredded the Constitution, consistently lied and tried to sow fear and division in the country all in an effort to win re-election, one has to wonder whether or not this latest report is true. It certainly sounds like it is.
