Obama: I'm sorry that my State of the Union milk joke sucked, but I was too busy directing the military to invade Somalia on a hostage rescue mission to write a better one

I think the hero tag is more deserved for the people doing the actual mission, but still pretty bad ass.

I thought it was an intentionally bad joke, which kinda makes it funny. He didn't start grinning ear to ear until he could hear the groans from congress.

If Obama can deal with pirates like this, why does Congress need to pass SOPA?

Obama was obviously rescuing people just to score political points. A principled Republican would have left them to their own bootstraps.

Actually the danish woman is quite attractive.

Apparently, the same team that did the Osama double tap. There's some dude running around with the knowledge that he killed Osama and rescued some hostages, but can't tell anyone. Someone get him a carrier to hold those brass nuts of his...

Can't wait for the next SEAL raid, when the GOP takes America hostage during their next pointless debate.

hmmm...yet another example of 0bama exceeding his bounds with regards to national sovereignty...without asking for approval from congress...again. The next step will be ordering Seal teams to perform abortions.

"As Commander-in-Chief, I could not be prouder of the troops who carried out this mission, and the dedicated professionals who supported their efforts," Obama said in a statement released by the White House,
Once again, FARTBONGO said *I* in a comment about the military. Why does he seek to take credit for ALL the military actions? Notice he used the words "I" or "me" in ONE HUNDRED percent of the sentences in that quote. Man, that uppity socialist needs to get over himself.
And man.... I submitted this with a much better troll headline. :0

I've heard no claims that this was the same group. Certainly not in any of the official government releases.
Remember, there's a *LOT* of Seals. I mean, not millions but more then three.

Uh, subtard?
President Barack Obama himself authorized the mission two days earlier
, and minutes after he gave his State of the Union address to Congress he was on the phone with the American's father to tell him his daughter was safe.
There's no excuse for that milk joke. NONE.
Still badass.

At least 9 people died to save the lives of two. The US government took their lives at the request of a single person without trial. What would have been the cost of saving those two? Would have been less than the cost of the mission which cut 9 young men down in their prime. Did we even get the person in charge directing all of this? Think of the suffering now upon the families that these men came from. Their wives will be scared for life, with no other source of income and the children grow up without a father. The memories and hard lessons these men had to learn amount to nothing. They are no longer able to share their mistakes and regrets. They are no longer able to share their culture and heritage with their children. And for what, a political point earned?
