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.”

Megyn Kelly: Trans ideology in schools is 'NOT support … this is INDOCTRINATION'

Megyn Kelly pulled her sons out of the private elementary school they attended after she learned that the boys were asked "weekly" if they were still sure they were boys. But that's not all that this "experimental transgender education program" taught.

Megyn joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to tell the story, which she thought had ended when the school apologized, and to talk about what's next for America as our leaders refuse to promote actual psychological support for our kids and instead "parade" transgenderism as the solution to their problems.

"When [my son] was in third grade, I found out they unleashed a three-week experimental transgender education program on these boys, with really inappropriate videos. The kids were confused. These are 8- and 9-year-olds, Glenn. They have no idea what the school is even talking about with the trans thing. They got really in-depth, with really in-your-face videos — and then parents complained. And the school did something it hasn't done in its 400-year history, which was they apologized. Even they realized they had done wrong," Megyn explained.

"But, then I said to my son a year later, so did they ever round back to the trans thing? Like, whatever happened with it? And he said ... they bring it up every week. ... [They ask] how many people here still feel confident that they're a boy? Do you still feel sure you're a boy?" she continued. "This is not support. This is not nonbullying. This is indoctrination. And it's deeply confusing to the children, and wrong."

Megyn went on to give examples of how she's seen trans ideology turn "support, nonbullying, kindness, friendship, allyship, on its head."

"The absolute surrender of the medical community to this insanity is a scourge on this nation. It's disgusting what is happening with our doctors," she added. "There are people who are legitimately transgender, or who have gender dysphoria. And for those people, we should be supportive and they should get the care that they need. But what we've done instead, is taken everyone who expresses any kind of gender confusion and said, you're trans. You're trans. And we have our psychiatrists doing this."

"It's crazy," Megyn asserted. "The fact that we're doing this so willy-nilly in the name of allyship and support, it's abusive. It's criminal."

WATCH: Biden’s Middle East Chaos: Our Dangerous Path to the Next 9/11

"Never forget" is not only a tribute to those we've lost, it's a warning that it could happen AGAIN. On "Glenn TV" Wednesday, Glenn Beck looks back 20 years ago to the modern generation's Pearl Harbor moment. A day of infamy we're STILL feeling repercussions from.

But in remembering 9/11, we need to look toward the future because the Biden administration is setting us up for the NEXT 9/11. They bungled the Afghanistan withdrawal, and now we have video of top al Qaeda commanders — who served with Osama bin Laden — returning to the country. But could America survive another terror attack?

Glenn asks former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the leader who brought America back from the brink. He tells Glenn about the moment he learned the Twin Towers were struck, the actions he took to prevent more terrorism, and if he thinks NYC could survive another attack under Mayor de Blasio's leadership.

Glenn is also joined by Rev. Johnnie Moore, author of "The Next Jihad." He warns that Biden's policies in the Middle East are Obama 2.0, and "if you thought ISIS was bad, you haven't seen anything yet. We must keep our eyes on Iran."

WATCH: Glenn Beck reveals SHOCKING details of stalled Afghanistan rescue efforts

Glenn Beck and The Nazarene Fund have been working tirelessly to evacuate Americans and our allies from Afghanistan, thanks to the U.S. government's failure to do so. But it's been far from easy. A recent Newsweek article, titled "Taliban Holds Up Glenn Beck Group's Planes," addressed some of the most recent challenges. The article claimed that six planes — filled with Americans and SIVs ready for takeoff — were "grounded by the Taliban amid negotiations with the U.S. State Department." So, what's actually going on? Why is the State Department meddling in the rescue? And what are the next steps to get these Americans home?

'Who are those idiots?' Bill O'Reilly reacts to STUNNING claims that 'right-wing' groups are bigger threat than THE TALIBAN

Bill O'Reilly joined "The Glenn Beck Program" Friday to discuss a recent House Homeland Security Committee briefing on the impact of the 9/11 terror attacks, during which "national security experts" claimed "right-wing" groups pose a greater threat to the United States than groups like the Taliban or Al-Qaeda.

Glenn played two video clips from the briefing that showed Senior Fellow Brookings Institute Center for Middle East Policy, Daniel Byman, and former National Intelligence Council Chair during the Obama administration, Christopher Kojm, in apparent agreement that "right-wing extremists" are a bigger threat to Americans today than "jihadists."

"I'm someone who has written extensively on both jihadist groups, but also right-wing, white supremacist groups," Byman says in the first video clip. "And in my mind, there's no question that today in the United States, the right-wing and white supremacist violence is a much greater risk."

"I agree with your assessment and those of my colleagues who have spoken already, there's little doubt that the domestic terrorist threat from white nationalists and right-wing extremist groups is greater than the jihadist threat today," Kojm states in the second clip.

"Who are those idiots?" O'Reilly exclaimed. "It's just unbelievable ... they're not even in the same universe. Yeah, there are bad neo-Nazi Americans running around, yeah, but there are very few of them. I mean, the jihadists are causing death and destruction, death and destruction all over the world. Not just in the United States. These people are so blatantly irresponsible and ignorant, it's just staggering."
