Just listened to Wolf Blitzer try to push Ehud Barak into dissing Obama

it did not work...

"I think that from my point of view as defense minister they are extremely good, extremely deep and profound. I can see long years, um, administrations of both sides of political aisle deeply supporting the state of Israeli and I believe that reflects a profound feeling among the American people," said Barak. "But I should tell you honestly that this administration under President Obama is doing in regard to our security more than anything that I can remember in the past."

Obama should not get credit for the mission to kill OBL.

That totally backfired. McRaven gave our President lots of kudos and praise.


Give it up people. The GOPers narrative on the President is not factual.
He has earned respect world wide.
