President Obama likely received the first surprise of his administration when three Navy Seal snipers took care of Somali pirates holding an American sailor hostage.  The crisis had been going on for four days after Somali pirates hijacked an American ship.  Obama apparently gave the go ahead on the operation the day or so before.  The Navy Seals executed the operation perfectly as is expected.  Obama and team quickly praised the Seals and took credit for the operation.  Funny how Democrats usually view U.S. military personnel as poor uneducated victims to be pitied because their service was tricked out of them.  Or if you are Senator Harry Reid, the U.S. military are a bunch of losers who failed in Iraq.  What a despicable person Reid is.  Of course, now that these highly skilled Navy Seals have made Obama look good, they are to be embraced.  What if (BIG "if") the Seals had missed or the sailor had been killed before the Navy acted?  What would Obama had done then?  Throw the Navy under the bus?  The moral of the story here is that the U.S. military is only "good" if a Democrat is in the White House and everything goes smoothly.  Otherwise, they are bad.
