It's not really reported all that much by the media - they report only what we can see - but the Obama administration has greatly expanded the use of covert operations. Under Obama, the US has more units operating in more places than we did under Bush. There is a lot going on that simply does make the news.

good, those isis fucks need to be wiped off the face of the earth

He's also bringing the rapture. I don't think we should ignore that when speaking of his accomplishments. Michelle Bachmann says it's coming cause Obama. I imagine the religious right wing are thrilled.

I'm sure this was the direct result of President Obama's independent thinking and uninfluenced political stance, much like every policy enacted during his terms.

It will be a glorious day when all religions are marginalized. Too bad we'll all be long dead before that happens.

Lets be clear, the role of Spec Ops has been high way before Obama and will be way after Obama. The amount of Spec Ops missions you hear about in the media is in noway indicative of how much in use they are. I am not talking about going out and killing a prime target or a "name" hostage rescue....they are out every fucking day doing all sorts of crazy shit. To think that the current president is in anyway responsible for what they are doing or about is pretty much ludicrous. Yes, the President has to sign off on such things as going after Osama or dedicating multiple teams to rescuing some sort of objective(ie military hostage held by the enemy), but to act like Obama(Bush, Bush, Reagan, etc, etc) signs off on what these guys do all the time is foolish.

Seals, Delta Force, Rangers, Force Recon, etc etc are all badasses that are not to be fucked with. Let them do their thing, their job, live their lives, and take no credit for it like they are trained to do.
