Does Obama Deserve Praise from Conservatives?

Conservative talk show giants Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity had different approaches today to commenting on last weekend's successful hostage standoff off the coast of Somalia. Limbaugh praised the president - with tongue firmly planted in cheek - while Hannity flat out refused to offer any praise. Admittedly, I'm no fan of the president, but thankfully Obama let the military do their jobs and a team of Navy SEAL's wasted these scumbags in three accurate shots.

I was especially pleased that this saga didn't progress the way I envisioned it with the captain being taken to Somalia and then being held hostage for years, while America looked weak and impotent. If we can't give Obama credit for doing something right, then how will our many disagreements with him have any credibility without looking like rank partisanship?

    I think it is more that Obama didn't appear to act like a leader in the situation. He let the military do what it should have done (and already had the authority to do), and just sat back and watched.

    To the previous John, I pose this question: Did your mother have any children that lived?

    I'm not sure "deserve" is the right word but people are entitled to their own opinions. ~As for the ignorant comment posted here, it says more about the post-er than anything else.
