Well if it makes you feel better. I didnt bash him before. I also dont know what the standard protocol would be for this situation so, with that said, I'll say he did a good job.
I suspect he will surprise people in his decision making overall.
Very true words.....he has surprised us all greatly. His continual placement of tax cheats in his cabinet was a huge surprise to all. His alignment with Bush as regards his views on personal freedom surprised us all. His decision to bow to the king of Saudi surprised us all. Yep....Obama is full of surprises in his decision making skillls.
Personally, though I dont like his politics.. I applaud him for having the courage to give the go ahead and save that courageous Captain from the pirates. He gets an A for effort and an "ATTA BOY" from me!

"Somali pirates appear undeterred by U.S. and French attacks that have killed five pirates in the past week during hostage rescues, including that of an American sea captain."
"Pirates have vowed to retaliate for the killing of their colleagues."

Wow....so while the Obamabots are patting themselves on the back for a job well done, doesn't look like the pirate crisis is over. Wonder what plans the great Obama has to deal with the true overall crisis and not just 4 guys in a rowboat????

Its an international problem, not just an American problem. Obama is the American POTUS and handled the American crisis perfectly. Unlike President Flightsuit, Obama didn't go claiming mission accomplised, he stated that this will not stop future hijackings.
After Obama gave the go-ahead to have the Somali pirates killed to save Captain Phillips, I've seen no bashing by his opponents - those who said he had too little experience or was too weak to handle the job. I'd like to hear now from those who said this and what they think of what he did. Please don't bring up all the other things we've heard 1,000 times before i.e. socialism, taxes, etc. etc. which would be the expected tiresome typical response. See if you can stay on topic.
Good grief it took him long enough to make the decision. Let's not make a mountain of a molehill though.
