I like that he tried.Why does it bother you that he announced it today?
Either announce the failure when it happens and take the heat like a man, given how eager Obama is to take credit for operations when they're successful, or keep it a continued secret. Be consistent.
Once again, his motives look nothing but political.....which they are.
He kept it secret while they were still captive - for obvious reasons.
I don't like that he's bragging about it.....especially since they still have a hostage.
