Obama’s Former
Bodyman: President Left Situation Room to Play ’15 Games’ of Cards During Day
of Bin Laden Raid

On the day Navy SEALs were raiding Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan and killing the 9/11 mastermind, President Obama didn’t spend every moment in the White House situation room. Instead, the commander in chief played cards in a private dining room that day, too — about 15 games of spades, in fact, his former personal assistant Reggie Love recently told a UCLA forum.
“Most people were like down in the Situation Room and [Obama] was like, ‘I’m not going to be down there, I can’t watch this entire thing,’” Love recalled during a Q&A at an Artists & Athletes Alliance event.
Instead, Love said he, Obama, White House photographer Pete Souza, and staffer Marvin Nicholson got together in a nearby private dining room and “must have played 15 games of spades” (and were interrupted by a steady stream of dispatches, according to UCLA Today).

Also interesting was Love’s description of how that all-important day was spent: Love said Obama usually worked half days on weekends, but on the day of the raid—Sunday, May 1, 2011—he and Obama spent the entire day at the White House “until almost midnight.”
Love added that when he left the White House later that night, after the president delivered news of bin Laden’s death, “there were thousands of people out on Pennsylvania Avenue, people crying and cheering. It was a very powerful, moving day.”
We should be clear that Love didn’t specify which parts of the Situation Room activities Obama chose to skip. There is the famous photo published by the White House showing him in the room during what appears to be the climax of the raid:

Still, it will likely raise questions regarding how the president may have reacted during another important military event during his presidency: the terror attack on the compound in Benghazi.
If he was playing cards while others were down in the situation room on arguably the most important night of his presidency, some will wonder, what might Obama have been doing on the night of the Benghazi raid more than a year later?
The following are Love’s comments about the night bin Laden was killed. (Although the the Artists & Athletes Alliance event occurred last month, according to Red Alert Politics, Love’s comments first started getting play today.)

The first sentence tells the tale. Obummer knew the raid was bullshit we all know the raid was b/s.Any one that would write such b/s as this is a dis information agent, or possibly a fool. Bin Laden died in 2001 and had nothing to do with 9/11.
What a load of crap Bin Laden died in 2001 of Kidney failure
Being that OBL died in 2001 from kidney and other related issues, did he 'rise from the dead' so that the forces that run the show behind obozo could kill this man (a friend and protege' of the Bush clan) yet AGAIN? What was the REAL reason for this attack on that the 'compound' in Pakistan? Was this a first run for the same reasons that Ambassador Stephens was murdered by the White House crew? Americans are sooooooo easily led astray. Think about it. They will believe whatever they are told.
I am not an Obama supporter but saying I don't want to watch this whole things could be a very respectable attitude considering it was complete bull**** ending with throwing an iced Bin Laden body, dead for years into the Ocean to hide the evidence of a phony staged event... Granted Obama is lying and taking credit for it as well as Hillary and the other fakers fraudsters but come on.... most people who understand how sick Bin laden was in 2001 know it was a complete lie in 2011 that he was alive... If the suspicious deaths of the Seal Team doesn't suggest a big coverup then what does it take to make Americans understand our government is a horribly written puppet show for brain dead adults....

Apparently you missed the point of the article. The writer is simply quoting Obama's lover aka "Bodyman", not trying to convince us of when Osama was killed. Whether Osama was or wasn't done in that night is not the issue or his purpose in writing this. He is simply quoting Bodyman.
The nerve of people running this Country, LEADING THIS COUNTRY, trying to make us believe OBL was killed.
And Oh so much more crap!
Scary to live in America! The ones that are leaving,
maybe the smart ones?
