Does Obama deserve all the credit?

May 04, 2011
 Wilson

Writer

There’s certainly no shortage of people who are rushing to lay all the credit at the feet of President Obama. Does he deserve accolades for what he’s done? Absolutely. But some of that credit needs to be shared and no one in the media seems to be highlighting the other people who helped make UBL’s demise possible.

One political pundit told Lawrence O’Donnell, “The White House is going to Ground Zero, 9/11, great political move. The president, you know, deserves all the political accolades and bump that he can get out of this.”

Glenn responded, “Does he? Or have we given him enough? If there's anybody that has worked tirelessly, it is the military. Not the president of the United States. The president of the United States got the phone call: We found him.”

“Who found him? Oh, the people who have been working at Guantanamo. The people who have been scooping up KSM. You've found them. No, Mr. President, you didn't find them. George Bush didn't find them. The U.S. military and our operatives have found him,” Glenn said.

“Then the president said, ‘Hey, so can you get him?’ ‘Yes, we can.’ ‘All right. Come up with a plan and make sure it doesn't go wrong.’ The president didn't say, ‘Here's what you're going to do. You're going to take three helicopters.’ He didn't do that.”

“The president is the greatest example of an executive. His job is to say, ‘Wait a minute, I don't agree with that. Who has a differing opinion here? Who can go find this?’ And then provide the leadership to make things happen,” Glenn explained.

Glenn and Stu both said that Obama deserves some credit. He had to approve the mission and give the orders, and if things had gone wrong he certainly would have been responsible for that as well. But their main issue comes from the fact that he’s milking the event for all it’s worth politically without giving proper recognition to the soldiers who really made it all happen.

Glenn also took issue with Obama’s plans to visit Ground Zero as part of his victory tour.

“To take a victory lap around Ground Zero is obscene, and your own people, Schuster, your own people are saying, look, he's just dragging this thing out to get maximize this for political points,” Glenn said.

“ Do it at Battery Park by the big globe that was smashed by the World Trade Centers come down. That piece of art that was in between the two World Trade Centers, this giant, it looks like a globe and it was completely smashed by the World Trade Centers and they found it and they moved it to Battery Park and it's stunning. It's stunning. Do it there. Please, Mr. President. Not over the bodies of 3,000 people. Please.”

Revolution on the Rise: How Marxism’s Early Stages Are Happening NOW

The far Left has intensified its push toward Marxism for months now, but it's more than clever catchphrases or slogans. Their radical rhetoric and policies have violent consequences.

Calls to defund the police have led to officers being ambushed and killed. Crime is spiking in record amounts all over the country. Critical race theory has the government, corporations, and now schools brainwashing Americans to believe the entire system is systemically racist. And it's paved the way for actual violence in the streets from groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

On his BlazeTV exclusive show, Glenn Beck exposes their endgame: tearing the entire system down. Marxists did this in the Soviet Union and China, among other places. Millions died, and the first to feel the brunt were always the landowners and farmers. The most recent example of this is happening in South Africa, where Glenn reveals terrifying on-the-ground interviews.

As American farmers now also face unprecedented racial discrimination by our federal government, award-winning South African journalist Lara Logan warns of what could happen if the seeds of Marxism aren't uprooted now.

Glenn Beck: 'I DON'T recognize my country anymore'

Glenn Beck has been warning since last summer that you would not recognize your country in a year. Well, it's not even summer yet, and he says he already doesn't recognize the country.

Do you recognize an America in which people are making more money off government unemployment benefits than they can make by working, inflation is ramping up, housing, supply and labor shortages are widespread, and the current administration gives cybercriminals from Russia a free pass after the biggest cyberattack on our nation's infrastructure to date?

On the radio program this week, Glenn pointed out that while businesses all over the nation are downsizing, one brand store is actually booming — and it says a lot about the state of the economy and what it means for our country's future.

Glenn Beck: Cyberattack on US pipeline points to 'Axis powers' of a 'digital World War III'

The largest American gas pipeline shut down on Friday due to what experts told the media was the "most dramatic cyberattack on U.S. soil to date." Investigators are looking at a group believed to be based in Russia known as "DarkSide."

It's time our leaders in the White House take national security seriously because this isn't the first time enemies of the U.S. — namely Russia and China — have used the cyber world to attack our nation and weaken our infrastructure, Glenn Beck argued on the radio program. Between Russia, China, and Iran — which President Joe Biden is now trying to make another nuclear deal with — it looks like the "Axis powers" of a "digital World War III" are lining up

"The journalists seem to care about the price of gasoline for the first time. Is it because they actually care? Or is it because they're trying not to focus on the fact that this was an attack most likely from Russia? And it isn't the first cyberattack from Russia of the year ... maybe we should be paying attention, to Vladimir Putin," Glenn began.

"And by the way, the pipeline going down, that's not the only [cyberattack] happening now," he added later. "Thirty thousand U.S. victims, small businesses and local governments, were hacked by cyber espionage units backed by the Chinese government in January of this year."

"There is an 'Axis power.' It is Russia and China. And, by the way, who is also aligned with Russia and China? Iran. Wow, this is weird," Glenn surmised. "But don't worry about that. Just leave your dog tags on another table. Let's not talk about China. Let's not talk about who actually crashed the jugular of our oil pipelines. I don't want war. But I got news for you ... this Biden administration is doing the job for our enemies."

'It's a death by a thousand cuts': Jordan Peterson on why staying silent is WORSE than facing the woke mob

Canadian clinical psychologist, author, and cultural firebrand Jordan Peterson is no stranger to cancel culture. Ever since he was thrust into the culture war, he has faced one controversy after another, stirred up by the woke elites who hate him with a passion. But although they have tried to make him pay for speaking out so fearlessly against their message, he refuses to back down and he believes you should, too. He joined "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week to explain why.

"There is a growth of the reluctant hero in all stories ... so many people think that they don't have what it takes, that they're not the hero," Glenn said to Peterson. "How do you get people to recognize and then have the courage to stand? You've taken a beating ... why is it worth it and how do you get there?"

"I think it's worth it because I believe the alternative is worse ... to stay silent when you have something to say," Peterson replied. "You don't know what it is within you that requires your voice, right, because you feel like 'I have something to say.' Where does that come from exactly, that feeling that you have something to say?

"Maybe you're disgruntled at work and you're choking on your own bile because the situation is not just in your estimation," he continued. "You're dying to say something, but you won't. Well, you'll die if you don't say it. Maybe it's a death by a thousand cuts. I don't like deferred punishment. I'd rather take it now and keep the future clean, which is why I encourage people to have the fights now, not to hide things in the fog for later. They grow and metastasize. It's better to confront what you need to confront when it's small and you have some possibility of victory."
