Obama Officially Best Military Commander Since Eisenhower!

Over Easter weekend while the rest of America was busy gaining 10 pounds eating ham and Peeps, President Obama occupied himself authorizing military action that left three Somali pirates dead and one kidnapped American captain alive. This feat of daring means that nobody can call Obama a ***** anymore.

A dumb liberal bleeding heart like Bill Clinton would have done the same thing as Obama, but somehow the Somalis would have been able to conquer an entire fleet of naval destroyers and murder a dozen Navy Seals, making Clinton look like an asshole.

And a wretched brainless warmonger like George W. Bush would have ordered the Navy to nuke the 18-foot lifeboat where the American captain was being held, just to show the pirates he was crazier than they were.

In sum, only a President Obama could have told the military to just make sure the captain didn’t die, and shoot if they had to. And in so doing, he has effectively ended all wars and conflicts around the world, because really who wants to mess with the US military when they don’t have a complete dingus as Commander in Chief anymore?

From what I hear around the ol' internet water cooler I think it is pretty clear to all who pay attention and are intellectually honest that the igmo in the White House was not a postive factor in the outcome of this event.  It is a case of getting the job done in spite of Jihaddy Jug-ears, not because of him.  I like to think Gen. Eisenhower would be proud of our real men and quite disgusted by the lite-loafer pizza boy sitting in the Big Man's chair.

Oooobama had to figure out how do to absolutely nothing while appearing to do everything with no personal or political risk yet leaving the option to take credit for anything positive in the outcome.

Yeah, just another typical weekend at the WH.

Considering there were news reports last week stating that pretty much all the TV's in the White House offices are set to MSNBC, he's just aglow in ass kissing there.

I had read somewhere that he doesn't pay attention to the news and he gets his reports from his aides. If this is true, then he would never see any criticism of himself or his policies.

I saw this coming a mile away. As soon as I heard about the rescue, I just knew the DUmmies would be falling all over each other as they rush to their keyboard to post their latest mindless fawning praises of their god. The only thing I'm surprised about is that they compared Obama to Eisenhower, an eeeeeeeevil, hate-filled, racist, etc. republican. You'd think they would have used Roosevelt or Truman instead.

The next time there is a bank robbery with a single hostage Obama should get involved too. 

This was nothing more than a very simple police action that all men were trained for.  However, the MSM will paint this as the greatest war ever won by a mere mortal..well kind of sort of demi-god.

Yawn,

BO has been screwed. He sells out Eastern Europe in his G-20 visit, He sells out Japan with the decision to eliminate missile defense. Taiwan is gone with the military cuts, particularly the Navy. Europe now fears a Putin led Russia since B.O. has decided to cut nuclear warheads. Iran and North Korea are laughing at this guy. Iraq is troubled by B. O. visit and his announcement that Iraqis need to take over the defense of their country, never mind they already have their own troops in 13 of the 18 provinces.

Meanwhile, China sits and waits.............

and the Obamaniacs thump their collective chests on a lifeboat in the Indian Ocean and the military doing what they are trained to do.  :censored:

Let's not even talk about Al Queda and Afghanistan. :banghead:

I'm not so sure I would put Ike into the greatest category. I have always disagreed with his notion of putting Montgomery in front of US forces in order to give the Brits political advantage. In my opinion, he sacrificed many US servicemen in order to make the Brits happy.

We should have just let Patton go. Given him the resources he needed and let him kick their ass! Untold casualties came from our lack of letting Patton go whole hog! They held him back because he spoke the truth. Not only about the Brits and Nazis, but also the communists.

It worked out in the end only because the Germans were afraid of Patton. They used him as a decoy for D-Day. The Germans were sure we wouldn't attack without Patton. They viewed him as their greatest threat. That in itself gave enough cover for the invasion in Normandy to succeed. If they had moved their panzer divisions to the front we could have been pushed back into the sea.

I'm a tad off on that one.  Custer had a pretty good record until Little Bighorn.  He actually did something (Civil War and the Battle of the Washita).  Yeah, he was supremely arrogant, but not an inexperienced newbie.
