How refreshing, compared to the "mission accomplished" memory.

The president as he has found out that he is but one man. Can't do it alone

I just don't get it... what do people want from Obama. All you people do is complain, complain when something is done wrong or right-- I mean shut up already. Aren't you sick of hearing your voice. It shouldn't matter how it was done, we should just all be grateful Bin Laden is dead and focus on the true heroes of this mission; special shout out to Special Forces: Team 6 who risked their lives to capture a mass murderer. God Bless you and the United States of America.

I am so thankful that a mass murderer has been brought to justice. Thank you President Obama and all the hard working people who contributed to this effort. We as a people badly need to celebrate something, there has been an enormous psychological cost to the USA, the past 10 years have been extremely painful. I would never celebrate the taking of anyone's life, it is sad when this is necessary. However, I think we can have a big Nationwide party to celebrate our country's strengths and the fact that we can now move forward into the future. I think celebrating our nation's diversity with all kinds of music and dancing, focusing on our multi-heritages and different religions would be very appropriate. For example I love bluegrass music and I also love Bollywood dancing. I would love the country to host a dance party that all kinds of Americans and other peoples could join in - we might call it the Freedom For All = We Dance United party. And Please let's never once mention you know who (i.e. OBL)!

White House Insider: Obama Hesitated - Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden

"What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him -and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound."

Note:This update comes some 24 hours after our longtime Washington D.C. Insider first outlined shocking details of an Obama administration having been "overruled" by senior military and intelligence officials leading up to the successful attack against terrorist Osama Bin Laden. What follows is further clarification of Insider's insights surrounding that event.
Leon Panetta was directing the operation with both his own CIA operatives, as well as direct contacts with military - both entities were reporting to Panetta only at this point, and not the President of the United States. There was not going to be another delay as had happened 24 hour earlier. The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission???

I gotta tell ya, whoever you got doin' your transcribin' needs to take a refresher course on writin' what's said without slangin' up the joint, not to mention checkin' politics at the keyboard. I'm jus' sayin'.
