Obama Working As An Absentee President
White House Insider: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden
“What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound.”
(If this story is true, and I believe it is, it figures. Obama is NOT capable of being president because he must be told what to do. He follows orders from those who control him. He lacks the ability to make an executive decision on his own. He is like a dummy president. A dummy president who has not provided a COPY of a long form certificate of live birth from Hawaii. A dummy preident who has displayed an abstract of a document that can't be verified. It seems nothing obama does can be verified.) Story Reports
Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?
A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.” There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.
I was correct in stating there had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper. The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama. Obama would meet with various components of the pro-invasion faction, almost always with Jarrett present, and then often fail to indicate his position. This situation continued for some time, though the division between Jarrett/Obama and the rest intensified more recently, most notably from Hillary Clinton. She was livid over the president’s failure to act, and her office began a campaign of anonymous leaks to the media indicating such. As for Jarrett, her concern rested on two primary fronts. One, that the military action could fail and harm the president’s already weakened standing with both the American public and the world. Second, that the attack would be viewed as an act of aggression against Muslims, and further destabilize conditions in the Middle East.
Q: What changed the president’s position and enabled the attack against Osama Bin Laden to proceed?
A: Nothing changed with the president’s opinion – he continued to avoid having one. Every time military and intelligence officials appeared to make progress in forming a position, Jarrett would intervene and the stalling would begin again. Hillary started the ball really rolling as far as pressuring Obama began, but it was Panetta and Petraeus who ultimately pushed Obama to finally act – sort of. Panetta was receiving significant reports from both his direct CIA sources, as well as Petraeus-originating Intel. Petraeus was threatening to act on his own via a bombing attack. Panetta reported back to the president that a bombing of the compound would result in successful killing of Osama Bin Laden, and little risk to American lives. Initially, as he had done before, the president indicated a willingness to act. But once again, Jarrett intervened, convincing the president that innocent Pakistani lives could be lost in such a bombing attack, and Obama would be left attempting to explain Panetta’s failed policy. Again Obama hesitated – this time openly delaying further meetings to discuss the issue with Panetta. A brief meeting was held at this time with other officials, including Secretary Gates and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Gates, like Panetta, was unable to push the president to act. It was at this time that Gates indicated to certain Pentagon officials that he may resign earlier than originally indicated – he was that frustrated. Both Panetta and Clinton convinced him to stay on and see the operation through.
What happened from there is what was described by me as a “masterful manipulation” by Leon Panetta. Panetta indicated to Obama that leaks regarding knowledge of Osama Bin Laden’s location were certain to get out sooner rather than later, and action must be taken by the administration or the public backlash to the president’s inaction would be “…significant to the point of political debilitation.” It was at that time that Obama stated an on-ground campaign would be far more acceptable to him than a bombing raid. This was intended as a stalling tactic, and it had originated from Jarrett. Such a campaign would take both time, and present a far greater risk of failure. The president had been instructed by Jarrett to inform Mr., Panetta that he would have sole discretion to act against the Osama Bin Laden compound. Jarrett believed this would further delay Panetta from acting, as the responsibility for failure would then fall almost entirely on him.
What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound. Basically, the whole damn operation was already ready to go….including the specific team support Intel necessary to engage the enemy within hours of being given notice. Panetta then made plans to proceed with an on-ground assault. This information reached either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates first (likely via military contacts directly associated with the impending mission) who then informed the other. Those two then met with Panetta, who informed each of them he had been given the authority by the president to proceed with a mission if the opportunity presented itself.
Both Gates and Clinton warned Panetta of the implications of that authority – namely he was possibly being made into a scapegoat. Panetta admitted that possibility, but felt the opportunity to get Bin Laden outweighed that risk. During that meeting, Hillary Clinton was first to pledge her full support for Panetta, indicating she would defend him if necessary. Similar support was then followed by Gates. The following day, and with Panetta’s permission, Clinton met in private with Bill Daley and urged him to get the president’s full and open approval of the Panetta plan. Daley agreed such approval would be of great benefit to the action, and instructed Clinton to delay proceeding until he had secured that approval.
Daley contacted Clinton within hours of their meeting indicating Jarrett refused to allow the president to give that approval. Daley then informed Clinton that he too would fully support Panetta in his actions, even if it meant disclosing the president’s indecision to the American public should that action fail to produce a successful conclusion. Clinton took that message back to Panetta and the CIA director initiated the 48 hour engagement order. At this point, the President of the United States was not informed of the engagement order – it did not originate from him, and for several hours after the order had been given and the special ops forces were preparing for action into Pakistan from their position in Afghanistan, Daley successfully kept Obama and Jarrett insulated from that order.
(Obama's "senior" advisor is a rabid fanatical loser. Its like his "advisor" is on crack or something. This is why obama acts in a disjointed manner and even if he did make a decision on his own it would be similar. He is following orders from rabid, fanatical advisors, his comrades. The dummy president and the white house advisors must reach a consensus through valarie jarrett his rabid senior advisor. We have a "third world" executive branch at the present time.) Story Reports

Blackout during raid on bin Laden compound
The head of the CIA admitted yesterday that there was no live video footage of the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound as further doubts emerged about the US version of events.
Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off.
A photograph released by the White House appeared to show the President and his aides in the situation room watching the action as it unfolded. In fact they had little knowledge of what was happening in the compound.
(These 'top" figures in the obama regime continue to stumble and fumble every detail about the osama raid. The pictures released by the white house led Americans to believe obama and his comrades were watching the seals kill osama. It was just another lie.
This is more evidence that the osama obama saga is filled with fiction and spin.) Story Reports
Mr Panetta said: "Once those teams went into the compound I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes where we really didn't know just exactly what was going on. And there were some very tense moments as we were waiting for information.
"We had some observation of the approach there, but we did not have direct flow of information as to the actual conduct of the operation itself as they were going through the compound."
Mr Panetta also revealed that the US Navy Seals made the final decision to kill bin Laden rather than the president.
(Obama led us to believe he directed the military to kill osama when in fact he did not.) Another lie. Obama is a liar.

Obama Spin About Osama Death Continues As Osama Helps Obama Bury BC Issue
Obama regime spin continues as affirmative action results are on display. Does anyone think there are competent people in the obama regime? Only the US military deserves credit considering the blithering idiots in the whitehouse.
White House spokesman Jay Carney is quick to tell reporters, the process of declassifying information about the U.S. military team that assaulted Osama bin Laden’s compound--the “most highly classified operation this government has taken in many, many years,” he said--is a difficult and often frustrating process. Which means that the narrative that has flowed from top U.S. officials to reporters has sometimes been incomplete, ambiguous, or incorrect.
(This is obama regime spin to coverup the fact once again that incompetence is the norm for "top" US "officials" whatever that means. If "top" US "officals" can't get it right why would anyone believe anything that "top" US "officals" say about osama or obama.
The "top" US official obama has said he was born in Hawaii and would prove it. Obama released an ABSTARCT of his birth certificate from Hawaii. The top official obama DID NOT release a COPY of the ORIGINAL long form certificate of live birth from Hawaii.
Obama the "top" offical's certificate of live birth long form cannot be verfied because it has not been released, only an ABTSRACT of a document has been displayed.
Certainly an ABSTRACT of an original document cannot be verified without seeing or knowing what the original document contains. Just think about that a little and it will sink in maybe.
The "top" offical wants you to believe he is a US citizen because he has displayed an ABSTRACT of a document. Obviously it is also a difficult and often frustrating process for the "top" US offical in American to also come clean about his citizenship. Obama has presented an incomplete and ambiguous ABSTRACT of his birth information on purpose to deceive America. He has also used the timing of osama's demise to bury his birth certificate issue.)

“[Bin Laden] was engaged in a firefight with those that entered the area of the house he was in. And whether or not he got off any rounds, I quite frankly don’t know.” This statement by Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan at Monday’s press briefing at the White House left unanswered one of the biggest questions of the operation: Was bin Laden armed? Brennan’s answer implied that he was, but at Tuesday’s briefing, Carney settled the debate: “He was not armed,” he said, in a scripted narrative written by the Defense Department. Bin Laden did “resist” U.S. forces, Carney said. He declined to elaborate beyond saying that “resistance does not require a firearm.”
"There was a female who was, in fact, in the line of fire that reportedly was used as a shield to shield bin Laden from the incoming fire,” Brennan told reporters at the Monday briefing. His statement was further backed up by a senior Defense official, who told reporters at a Defense Department briefing that, “One woman, who was used as a human shield by one of the four military-age males on the compound, was killed; he was firing behind her.” The White House started to backtrack on this report Monday night, and by Tuesday, it was debunked by Carney’s statement. There was a woman on the first floor of the compound who was killed “in the cross fire,” he said.
The woman who was killed was bin Laden’s wife, and she had been used as a shield.This information also came out of Brennan’s briefing on Monday, and was also clarified by Carney’s narrative on Tuesday: “In the room with bin Laden, a woman, bin Laden's wife, rushed the assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed.” The woman who was killed was not with bin Laden, and she was killed in the cross fire of a firefight.
Bin Laden's son Khalid was killed. At Monday’s briefing, Brennan said it was the al-Qaida leader's son Khalid who was killed; by the time the White House released a transcript of the briefing a few hours later, it had been altered to say that bin Laden's son Hamza was killed. The White House did not return calls for comment on whether Brennan misspoke or had received incorrect information.
Bin Laden was shot twice in the head. Many news reports said that bin Laden was shot twice in the head. But a senior intelligence official clarified to National Journal that he was shot once in the head and once in the chest.
(Americans who are STUPID enough to believe top officals in the obama regime including obama will believe everything the "top" officials say in the obama regime even after they say it different two or three times. All liars.
Obama timed the osama raid to help coverup his birth certificate problem. To date NO public information such as osama photo, dna or face recognition verification has been released. Are you stupid enough to believe obama? I don't.
A summary or abstract of a document is a short form or outline of information. The original document contains additional information that can confirm the abstract, short form, information.
Obama has done nothing but display a "warmed over" online certification of live birth as a certificate of live birth and still refuses to display a copy of an original long form certificate of live birth from an Hawaiian hospital that can be verified by anyone in America. Story Reports
Osama helped bury the obama birth certificate issue to hide the fact obama didn't produce a copy of a long form certificate of live brith but only an ASTRACT version that can't be verified. Obama continues to hide his true identity and the "state run media" continues to help deceive America. Obama timed the death of osama to coverup his birth certificate questions. A terrorist helped a traitor.
Ask yourself, why didn't obama produce a copy of the original long form that could be verified?
Ask youself why didn't obama produce any dna, photo or face recognition evidence of the death of osama?
Ask yourself why the "top" officials can't get their storys straight or even agree. Its because they are liars.
