  2. “……….Seal Team Six”

    And even then the Chicago Thug has to be reminded every once in a while, that it’s not the 6th event in the daily variety show at Seaworld.

  3. You forget planning concerts at the White House, but that may be more Michelle then Barack. You just said Obama, so not sure which one.

  4. I think the “Obama isn’t in charge” claim is going to be the one the administration uses. Seriously.

    Just look at this CBS (!!!) story.

    Here is IMHO the best part.
    **************
    The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it’s important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect “incompetence rather than malice or cover up.” Nonetheless, in the eight months since the attacks, this is the most sweeping and detailed discussion by key players of what might have been done differently.

    “We’re portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots,” said one Obama administration official who was part of the Benghazi response. “It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”

    Um, so the administration is defending itself by trotting out spokespeople to say ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION “It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”???

    And the other key bit they put in quotes. “incompetence rather than malice or cover up.” Remember, the quotes mean somebody in the administration said that about the administration, in an interview.

    Okay, try and set aside the hilarity factor for a moment, and ask WHY the administration thinks saying this is a good idea?

    The only thing I can think of is it’s an attempt at misdirection from something far more damaging, otherwise they would not have put it in such scathing terms.

    1. “We’re portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots,” said one Obama administration official who was part of the Benghazi response. “It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”

      Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from evil.

      1. ROFL!

        Good point!

        Hrmm, many times in the past various officials and administrations have been accused of “proclaiming their incompetency”. However, I think the Obama admin is the first to do so in the literal sense of the word when an administration official said,

        “incompetence rather than malice or cover up.”

        They do not just admit that they are incompetent, they proclaim it. Literally.
        (and unlike Joe Biden, I know what “literally” actually means.)

  5. There was another seaman back in 2009 that shot a pirate. Obama directly controlled that one with an order starting “Do not fire upon the pirates under any circumstances…” also.

  6. Obama only had control over Seal Team Six for a brief period of time when he personally took command of the unit, trained them in the art of Obamafu, and showed them how to storm a house in the process of killing Bin Laden with his bare hands using only his non-dominate right hand.
