Is Obama "Spiking the Football"?

Looks like Obama is doing the exact opposite of what he said we shouldn't do. November can't come soon enough.

Former NAVY SEAL to Obama: Stop Using Us As a Campaign Ploy!

Benjamin Smith is a very vocal former NAVY SEAL. And if you haven't heard of him yet, now is your chance to acquaint yourself with this guy because it will be people like him that saves America from heading down the Socialist path that Europe has taken.

Here is his letter, in full, via RadioPatriot.

FORMER NAVY SEAL REBUKES OBAMA

By Benjamin Smith

President Barack Hussein Obama – STOP using the Navy SEALS as a campaign ploy. Because with all due respect, (what little I have for you), you do NOT speak for me.

You have a movie about SEALS within the past year trying to identify with me, with the navy SEALS, and with anything that might improve your polling numbers…and yet it is all a sham to hide a weak un-American man desperate to claim the victories of others for his own.

You Sir are trying to take the credit for what the American People have achieved in killing Bin Laden. Your use of the SEALs accomplishment as a campaign slogan is nothing less than despicable. I, as a former Navy SEAL do not accept your taking credit for Osama Bin Laden’s death. The American Military accomplished that feat.

Read the full story here then watch this video, especially around the 1:08 mark.

The thing I don't understand about saying that Obama "spiking the football" is that when you spike the football to stop the clock when you need to score in the last few seconds of the game. Losers spike the football, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that he is taking a knee to run out the clock, but that doesn't really have the same enthusiasm does it? Celebrating in the end zone? Maybe dumping the cooler?

Maybe it's just me.

Bin laden being killed is the only positive thing to happen since this guy took office and it didn't take long for the narcissistic egomaniac to screw it up!

Celebrating in the end zone?

That is exactly what this is in reference to. Obama's speech last year after Bin Laden was killed. Obama himself said that we shouldn't "spike the football" in celebration. Yet here he is, a year later, doing exactly that.

Exactly!

It's an election year. It really wouldn't matter who the candidate was or what side of the aisle they were on, every possible incident is going to be used for the advantage of the person running, or to the disadvantage of the opponent.

McCain would be crazy not to be hyping the same incident had he been the one in office when Bin Laden got popped.

The part I find baffling is how so many people think one side of the political aisle is noble/decent and the other isn't - they're all politicians and therefore by default will say whatever it takes to take office, makes no difference if there is an "R", "D", or "I" after their name.

Can we prosecute Oblowme under the Stolen Valor Act?

I like this guy!

And remember, Politics is a Game and not some Noble Endeavor...

Obama is just another fuck stain.

I doubt he even knows what "spiking the football" means.
