I heard that he put a Navy Admiral in operational command - Obama only gave the order, a day or two BEFORE the attack ...
Presumably, if successful, Obama could then horn-in and claim the credit [which he did] - but if things went south, Obama was gonna throw the Admiral under the bus, claiming that the plan was not his idea ...
Obama never did give an order. Jarret passed authority to Panetta thinking that Panetta did not have the testicular fortitude to order the mission. Leon slapped her in the face with his testiculars and issued a go to seal team six.
For that one act, I can almost forgive him his far left politics. He might be a far left Democrat but he was not going to put up with the communist Jarret.
It is now obvious that Jarret is Obama’s puppet master but who is pulling Jarret’s strings?
The picture is so bizarre with little barry in the corner in his golf shirt (!) that it makes me think he didn't want to be front and center in the photo op. So if the raid went FUBAR and the dims blamed the Admiral there would be no pictures of him directing the op.
