• Typical Government Thinking, Or Not ...

  The Obama Administration does something good and then manages to f**k it up royally.  I speak of course of the killing of Bin Laden - The Good -- and then like typical politicians, they begin to over think the thing instead of being in tune with the people of the nation.

  • They grab the body -- good -- but then they quickly dispose of it out of fear of offending the Muslim world -- bad.
  • They take pictures to prove Bin Laden is dead -- good -- but then they don't quickly release those pictures, opening the door for all kinds of conspircy theories to develop -- bad.  Too much concern again for the "possibility" of offending someone.  I have no doubt that they will eventually be forced to release photos, but I have a concern that they will try to clean them up so the damage doesn't look too bad.  If they do that, it will compound their initial mistake beyond measure.
  • And then there's the matter of whether or not Bin Laden was armed when he was shot.  Frankly, I don't care if he was or he wasn't, and neither does the rest of the country.  If he was armed, he was resisting arrest; if he wasn't armed, he was executed.  Either way works for me and for just about everyone else in the country. 

  Thus, even as the 2012 political season is beginning to ramp up, the Obama Administration is squandering its goodwill and the advantage it has at home.

  Is it any wonder the American People don't have a very high regard for politicians?!  What a bunch of morons!!
