So, for those who might not have seen it, we have a bunch of "non-partisan" SEALS and such attempting to take Obama to task for taking credit for the killing of OBL .... Special ops group attacks Obama over bin Laden bragging, leaks
But I think they need to keep a couple of things in mind ......
1. This isn't 2004, and I think most people now recognize "Swift-boating" for what it is -- smears based on lies.
2. This isn't 2004 and I doubt that the O-Team will let this fester if it shows ANY signs of traction.
3. The "non-political" president of this bogus group is an admitted Republican who actually ran for office (and couldn't even win the R primary
4. And finally -- We have this:
Responding to criticism about the president taking credit for the bin Laden raid, an Obama campaign official pointed to an interview with CNN last month in which Admiral Bill McRaven, commander of the raid, said: "At the end of the day, make no mistake about it, it was the president of the United States that shouldered the burden for this operation, that made the hard decisions, that was instrumental in the planning process, because I pitched every plan to him."
"I think Admiral McRaven knows more about the President's role in the bin Laden operation than this group," the campaign official said.
It will be interesting to watch this one play out ...
