In the official photograph, he looked every inch the commander in chief. Strain etched on his face, Barack Obama watched as the raid to kill Osama bin Laden played out on a television in front of him. According to a new book, however, the President was not nearly that engaged – and was actually playing golf until 20 minutes before the operation began in earnest.Only then did he down his clubs and return to the White House to watch what he later trumpeted as a great success of his presidency. A new book claims the official account was

He’s intimidated by the military peeps. Look at his body language. Arms crossed.
This jives with him also being very uninvolved with Iraq
Interesting read. Didnt we miss hitting the one-eyed terrorist because some JAG atty didnt like the legal tie-ins because we weren’t 100% sure?
He’s as queer as a three dollar bill. What a first. A mulatto, muslim homo as prez.
I read the article. The account of the raid seems credible to me. What I don’t understand is how the author, a veteran Seal guy, knows what was happening at the White House.
IMHO, the photo looks Photoshopped.
Actually, the look on his face is one of irritation, where he’s thinking “they interrupted my golf game for this?!?”
Still cant get over how all of the seals were taken out after the mission.
“What a first. A mulatto, muslim homo as prez.”
What a first. A mulatto, muslim, homo, communist as prez.
Fixed it.......
Excellent sleuthing, gaijin. Now you have a pretty complete album of the Pretty Boy Pres.
He probably played golf until he found out the chopper had been destroyed and whatever the real mission was had been abandoned and a cover had to be manufactured.
Any real pictures of Osama, yet? No? Where are the silly Rosie O’Donnells and other leftist conspiracy freaks on this? It has a lot more real questions surrounding it than “steel doesn’t melt” and “an airplane didn’t crash” into the Pentagon crowd has for their silly conspiracies. just sayin..

He never gave the OK! The decision was made without him - actually despite him, by Hillary and Panetta, who ordered the SEAL command to disregard any order to stop the mission by Obama! He and Valerie Jarret had been preventing the mission for close to four months after intel indicated there were Obama members at that location!
The SEALS began to practise the mission in Afghanistan at a mock up of the target right away and apparently were afraid that Obama’s loong delay would allow any targets escape. Or a leak in Afghanistan ruin the mission.
Hillary and Panetta took charge and authorized the mission as soon as the SEALS indicated they were ready.
Obama was dragged inside in his golf outfit to hide all this by having him present - sitting in a corner, not in a command position.
If an interviewed Pakistani neighbor witness (video) is to be believed, they never got a long dead Osama but did get his son. Photos of son’s dead body available but NONE of Osama. Would have been leaked if it existed.
Son’s and father’s DNA would be the same.
I agree. If he had been golfing during the mission, or delaying it until he was done, that would be inexcusable. But if he decided to tell his commanders "Make it so" and then get the hell out of the way, then to me that's just fine.
He looks ashen. Oh no, they are killing my buddy.
The 0 hanging curtains, the photo with the umbrella caught in the gate, the puffball pitch and the faggy helmet on the almost mountain bike are lacking here. I can relate to your moniker. I was born to gaijin in Tokyo in ‘57. I improvised. I adapted. I overcame. Cudo’s to Gunny Tom Highway for that.
Where in the hell do they come up with this? He looked like a guy that was pulled abruptly off of the golf course! He didn't even change his golfing shirt!
To me he looks like it is personal. He is watching someone be killed because of what they have to do with him.
