‘I DON’T TAKE THESE FOLKS TOO SERIOUSLY’: OBAMA DISMISSES SEAL GROUP ATTACKS

President Obama said Monday he isn’t taking two groups of military veterans currently running campaign ads against him “too seriously.”

Last week, the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund and Special Operations Speaks launched anti-Obama campaigns, criticizing the president for his handling of national security, intelligence leaks and taking too much responsibility for killing Osama bin Laden. The groups — both founded by ex-Navy SEALs — are political action committees made up of military veterans.

President Obama is writing off the attacks as partisan and unfounded.

“I don’t take these folks too seriously. One of their members is a ‘birther’ who denies I was born here, despite evidence to the contrary,” Obama told The Virginian-Pilot. “You’ve got another who was a tea party candidate in a recent election.”

“This kind of stuff springs up before election time,” Obama added.

Obama does have a point, at least on the background of the groups’ founders.

Last week, ex-Navy SEAL Larry Bailey, founder of Special Operations Speaks, told Foreign Policy magazine: “I have to admit that I’m a birther.”

Former Navy SEAL Scott Taylor, founder of OPSEC, is a former Republican candidate for office. To be sure, ones party affiliation and/or personal beliefs does not automatically mean there are ulterior motives at play.

    Ya’ll need to chill. Obama personally led the raid that took out Osama. He’s a dangerous man.

    I don’t take these folks too seriously.

    They’re from the military and I already have a plan in the works to keep the military vote from being counted.

    Them, he doesn’t take seriously. Oh, no! But he really REALLY listens to some law school co-ed who doesn’t want to pay for her own birth control.

    God help us.

    The Dishonorable Disclosure has had over three million hits so far, and the number is still going up. I don’t think they’re all from bammy’s campaign looking for counterattack info.

    Yeah, President Jarrett postponed the attack on Bin Laden’s compound at least 3 times so it’s obvious she doesn’t tale them seriously.

    As for King Putt, what do you expect from a Choom-addled closeted gay?

    The narcissist-in-chief knows no humility, nor has any intellectual honesty. An epic smack-down in November is well deserved.

    Barry the Bozo still thinks SEALs are cute little aquatic mammals like he saw balancing a ball on their noses at the circus.

    They are the last group I would want pissed at me.

    He’s just trying to cover up his fear of being carried out in hand cuffs and leg shackles by the seal teams he is so fond of pissing off.
