osama bin laden attack, right? he was on top of all of the information. his advisers were split. he managed that very carefully and it was very successful. now, if we had had, you know if he was looking over the shoulder of all of these tech nerds with the consultants that have been hired, the contractors by the administration to get this website up, everybody who is an opponent of the president would be complaining that he s in the weeds, he s not doing what the president should do. look. every depiction of his administration shows when he s in meetings, he s thirsty for information, cross-examining his staff. if somebody hasn t spoken up, he tries to get them to say what they think. i think this is a caricature that doesn t square up with the facts. jon: but the unanswerable question is if the osama bin laden raid had gone badly, if it had become another 79 hostage rescue attempt in the desert, would the president have taken the same kind of credit? yeah. that s right, jon.
