Well, while I sit and listen to the continuing love affair of our entertainer (president Obama) in chief, I am again confronted with the question, ARE WE JUST THAT STUPID?
Now we have Bill Clinton going out and making comments on what Romney might or might not have done if confronted with the opportunity to "take out" Osama bin Laden And what we get to listen to is all the "what if this or that happened?"Really? I know some people love to indulge in speculation and expand on thoughts and opinions, but I would rather just like to ask a couple of real questions.
So... did the Prez make this decision in advance or was it something that just came up by chance?
What did his advisers suggest he do? Who said what?
What did our foot in mouth VP say to do? Did he advise against it?
What would happen if you could have could time travel and kill Hitler before WWII, but the only way you could kill him is if you had to sacrifice your entire family and you had to kill him with a spoon?
Now, I bet Romney wouldn't do that.
And I bet the Prez would do it and even be able to do it with a plastic spoon.
See how easy that was.
Now, what I would like to say about these hypothetical questions is that they are pointless. A long time ago I learned the hard way, not to answer hypothetical questions....with real answers. There are enough real questions in the world without wasting our energy on the land of make believe.
What really happened on the decision day about Osama bin Laden?
So, Joe Biden is the 2nd in command.
He was faced with a real question
He gave a real answer... "don't do it"
He advised against the move against Osama.
He was selected by Obama
He is a heartbeat away from the Prez
He wouldn't kill Hitler with a spoon either
Ok, except for the Hitler thing, those are real comments about real things that happened. I know we can judge people by what they say they would do or wouldn't do, but the truth is that in so many areas of life, we really don't know until we are "IN" the situation.
So I will give credit that someone made the right decision when it came to "offing" Osama, but give me a break about what others may or may not have done. We already know that Biden said "No"... that is real. And it is real that he was in the position of helping to make the call.
So if this becomes more of a Political debate rather than a commentary on what really did happen, then I believe Obama needs to get a new running mate and fire most of his advisers. And we will really need to look at how much of this was a pondered decision or a request for permission.
Remember, someone else did this... they had him... they were ready to go... make the decision, for God's sake all we need is permission.... the Navy Seals weren't asking him to come over and help....and bring your plastic spoon too. They just needed the "GO" order.
Now, I'm done with this for now, but if I am forced to relive this again and go into the land of "what ifs" then here is the real answer to the Hitler scenario.
Biden..... wont go
Obama .... he says he will go ... but should have known that in time travel the plastic spoon will disappear. (energy advisers should have known about messing with the space-time continuum)
Now what's going to happen......
Romney goes...... and kills Hitler.....thank God for the SILVER SPOON!!! AMEN
