How Things Change
May. 2nd, 2011 08:27 amSo, last week, Donald Trump, the billionaire son of a multi-millionaire, a fiscally-responsible guy with four bankruptcies and three wives, felt America needed to see Obama's birth certificate.
Obama, self-made son of nobody, released it. We now know that Obama went from that event to a meeting where he got the final plan to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden.
On Saturday night, Obama and others at the White House Correspondent's Dinner took some shots at Trump. We now know that while this was going on, Navy SEALs were in route to "take some shots" at Osama Bin Laden. Per the President's address last night, he greenlighted the operation on Friday. Probably about the same time he approved his remarks for the Saturday yuck-fest.
There are serious threats facing America, and serious problems. Yet we let a reality TV star distract us with trivia.
Well, I'm glad somebody had their eye on the ball.
ETA: Just a reminder - Obama said during the campaign that he'd go into Pakistan if needed. John McCain and current candidate Mitt Romney both thought that was a bad idea.
