Did the US Just Experience a Coup?

Since the announcement that US forces had killed Osama Bin Laden earlier this weekend in Pakistan, there has been a great deal of discussion as to what was President Barack Obama’s role in the decision to hunt down and kill Bin Laden.  There may be evidence that the United States has just undergone a coup.

Atlas Shrugs presents a concise outline reflecting much of this discussion:

  • Did Obama sign off on the mission prior to Bin Laden’s death?
  • Did current DCI Leon Panetta (and SecDef-designate), along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, SecDef Robert Gates, and Obama confidant Bill Daly act on the matter WITHOUT actual presidential authority?

Given Obama’s record regarding terrorism and his past reluctance to take a definitive stance on any issue other than spending trillions of dollars on sundry government boondoggles, these are valid questions.

Thak you Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton and the US Military. Job well done, no thanks to Obama.

I am sure he had no clue and when they advised him of what they did, he was more than happy to take credit for it thinking about his 2nd term....

So lets get this straight. You can blame the president for anything that occurs under his watch that is negative, but he doesn't have anything to do with any positive things that happen. On top of that, you say his predecessor's actions were responsible for the current success, but have nothing to do with any current negatives. Can you say crazy?

anonymous 10:29 and all other wet pants liberals, I need to chime in here.

Please, do tell me, just what has Obama done positive since he's been elected that was PRESIDENTIAL.

You know, like Regan, Take Down This Wall kind of stuff. Gas prices are through the roof, unemployment is the highest it has ever been and by now MOST Americans no longer have the ability to collect unemployment, so the numbers are MUCH higher than ever before. Interest rates are so low, who in the hell wants to keep their money in the bank any more.

So please, do tell me why ANY one of us should be proud of this President.

I'm waiting, and it better be good.

HA HA HA

Look a that face. Obama looks like one of those kids at Walmart when the Mother is screaming at him he cannot have a toy or gum.

Joe you have hit the nail on the head .... ive been saying that Obama is truly more worthless than Jimmy Carter and have been for years... And all i ever hear is that i dont like Obama because im racist and dont want a black president. What bothers me more is that people on the Obama side always want to throw in that race card. But you are right Joe in that Obama has really done nothing positive for the country since becoming president
