Newt Gingrich was openly lambasting Obama of weakness even while he was heavily engaged in getting the pirates killed and the captain of the ship freed. Then Gingrich went on, after the shooting was over, to give Obama half-hearted praise. Like he would've been happier if the captain had been killed. This is how traitorous the Republicans are these days. Right wing wackos.
Borger says,
Here's the problem: If Republicans can't allow that the president did his job well in this unambiguous case, why should we believe their complaints about anything else? If they can't pat him on the back for this one, why should we even listen to their arguments about the budget, about health care, about energy?True, true, true. But, you see, they're hoping for a bad outcome. If you die you're useful grist for the Republicans' mill. They're not looking out for the well being of the country.
