Deal Me Out

Wow. Just wow. The Commander In Chief has too much A.D.H.D. to stick around and watch while he sends men through hostile airspace to take out one of the most evil men in the world.

If he was playing cards while they went after Bin Laden, it makes you wonder what he REALLY was doing while Benghazi was going down.

President Obama played cards with aide on day SEALs killed bin Laden

The day members of SEAL Team Six stormed Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan and killed the terrorist mastermind, President Barack Obama at one point left the Situation Room to play cards, according to the president’s body man at the time.

 

It was not clear from Reggie Love's brief remarks last month at what point or for how long the president left the room during the day-long operation.

 

NBC News National Security analyst Michael Leiter, who was also in the room during the operation, said the president did leave at several points but was present during the raid itself.

...

Love recounted the day during a public affairs forum at UCLA of the story, telling the moderator, “most people were like down in the Situation Room, but he [the president] was like, ‘I’m not, I can’t, I’m not going to be down there, I can’t watch this entire thing, just, so he, myself, Pete Souza, the White House photographer, Marvin, we played, we must have played 15 hands, 15 games of spades.”

 

The president and his team, including Love, spent the entire Sunday of the raid at the White House, the former body man said.

 ...

But Obama was definitely in the room when SEALs stormed the Abbottabad compound and took out the man responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, says Leiter, who was director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center until July of 2011.
