Well returned from exile.
Please to point out the innocent post.
You had the chance to say, "Yes, if this had happened on Reagan's or W's watch, I would have said the people who
really deserve credit are the operatives, and I would have said nothing about the president on this major international issue." Your minimization of Obama was straight Rush and the like.
As to the operatives, especially the SEALs, they are awesome and truly deserve our thanks. This is not, however, a particularly deep insight, and having it is not a sign that one's head is bolted on straighter than his (or her) more liberal neighbor's.
Shall I share with you my particular appreciation of the years of training, long hours and sacrifices by the brilliant but underpaid lawyers who drafted every piece of complex federal legislation a president ever took credit for? No? Good.
