With Respect,

I very strongly disagree that his long term record of hesitancy and inability to commit to a decision or plan or strategy or policy has been counteracted by what for a President is an easy win. He has no skin in the game on this one. If it works out well, he grabs some popularity rating points, if it doesn't, well, he was just following the path that previous Presidents had laid.

While I celebrate with the rest of the country today, and am excited that our military in general and the special operations community in particular gets to chalk up a huge win, I can give Obama no more respect than I could last night before this news came out.

We still have a horrible unemployment rate, we just raised the debt ceiling, we almost had to shut down the government over budget issues, we still have Obamacare to deal with, we have car cars and drug czars and gun czars and air czars. His horrible track record has not gone away.
