Embarrassing: Obama Spokes-hacks Spike Football Over Bin Laden Hit, Beclowning Themselves and the Administration

In May of 2011, President Obama stated that he would not release Osama Bin Laden's death photos because he did not want to "spike the football."

Like all of his statements, however, the boycott on touchdown celebrations ended almost immediately. That is, as soon it was politically expedient, the Icky Shuffles started coming fast and furious, as it were. And the latest embarrassment is occurring in the Twittersphere, where Obama spokespeople are high-fiving one another in truly embarrassing fashion.

Of course, as anyone with half a brain knows -- which excludes progressives, liberals and all Democrat members of Congress -- Bin Laden was located thanks to all of the "controversial" tactics put in place by the Bush administration and then promptly shredded by his successor.

Which leads to commenter Dan disclosing the new, MSM/DNC-approved timeline (not that they're trying to politicize this, mind you).

1. 1/21/09 OB gathers his inner circle and tells them that there is this real bad guy that Bush totally forgot about and didn't care that he secretly murdered 3,000 people early in Bush's administration and OB wanted him found ASAP.

2. 2/14.09 OB kicks out Bush incompetent an replaces him with super sleuth Leon Panetta because of his vast experience in espionage and fabulous motivational skills.

3. 2/15/09 OB tells Panetta that I'm 95% confident OBL is in Pakistan, probably somewhere just North of Islamabad in a house with high walls and maybe three stories and two security gates.

4. 2/21/09 OB tells Panetta that he intercepted a call from a guy who is really close to OBL and to drop everything else and totally focus only on him.

You know, a bigger man would have humbly thanked President Bush, Vice President Cheney, SecDef Rumsfeld, and our brave military and intelligence personnel for their efforts to find and cap Bin Laden.

But then a bigger man wouldn't be a Narcissistic, Marxist ideologue with a penchant for parties, endless fundraising and golf.
