I was watching the Mclaughlin group on Sunday and was pretty surprised. Mclaughlin asked his panel on a scale of 1 to 5, what they thought the Somalia rescue would add to Obama's ratings. The responses weren't to surprising. Rich Lowry of course said it was "weak" and gave him a "1". Others were predictable as well. But John Mclaughlin surprised me the most. He gave it a "5" and said it showed that Obama had a great deal of fortitude.
Agreeing to attempt one of those raids (Bin Laden) showed some cajones.
Agreeing to a second one - and in order to get a hostage most Americans had never heard a thing about - showed some much more formidable cajones.
That's hysterical. It takes 'cajones' to send other people into harm's way while you sit in your Situation Room and watch?
It showed that he is capable of doing a part of the job that we pay him to do. Good. Will I criticize him for it? No. Will I high five him for it? No. That's what we pay him for.
