Barack Obama is quickly becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of Commanders in Chief. It seems no matter what happens on this man's shift, Obama will NEVER get credit from some - for anything.
Eight years after "Mission Accomplished" signs adorned a Naval carrier behind Bush, Obama is the guy who's troops took out the mastermind of 9/11. By not giving credit to the Commander in Chief, you're putting yourself in a bucket with Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and the "Birthers."
Blame is in no shortage when it comes to an economy that he inherited. In case you didn't know, Obama was leading the country when the economy collapsed, when housing prices tanked, when bailouts were "all the rage" and when wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were launched. Those things are all his fault.
But now, when something positive happens - the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden, the fingers are pointing towards George W. Bush? Are you shitting me? G-Dub? The man who started wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, built Guantanamo Bay and oversaw the demolition of US housing - is now getting credit for something he couldn't do during 6 years in the White House - capture Bin Laden.
General Stanley McChrystal praised the "decision makers" for having great courage. "Think of what would have happened if the mission had not been successful, and all of the second-guessing that would have happened," McChrystal told a meeting of the American Iron and Steel Institute in Colorado Springs.
"This mission sends a message about our will to stand up for what is right."

Osama Bin Laden is dead. Stop crediting Bush and give Obama credit on this one. After all, the Mission is now accomplished.
