He played cards! HE FUCKING played cards1

[Busybody]

Yeah — that soldier stuff gets boring after a while.





Weekly Standard:





Reggie Love says he and President Obama played cards during the Osama bin Laden raid, and that the president told him, “I can’t watch this entire thing.”

“Most people were like down in the Situation Room and [President Obama] was like, ‘I’m not going to be down there, I can’t watch this entire thing,’ We must have played 15 games of spades,” said Love at a public event.

Love was Obama’s “body man,” and spent much time with his boss while he worked for Obama at the White House.

Not everyone who was president at a time like that would play cards. But some might. Everyone deals with stress differently, and while it’s probably not something you or I would do in that situation, Obama chose card playing to relieve tension.

That’s not the problem. The problem is the image that the president and his PR hacks tried to fashion of a president who was totally engaged, on the edge of his seat, and in charge. Not that it will make a difference in anything. The press will squash the story and the narrative of brave Obama, daring to take the gamble of giving the go-code to the SEALs in Abbotobad will be maintained.

I wonder if he gave the go-ahead for the mission right after the pizza

YouTube video of Reggie Love interview deleted after comments hit Drudge

By CHARLIE SPIERING | AUGUST 15, 2013 AT 8:05 AM

A YouTube video featuring an interview with former Obama bodyman Reggie Love was removed after his comments surfaced in news reports highlighting some private details from President Obama’s life in the White House.

The video, posted by the Artists and Athletes Alliance YouTube account, featured a July 18 interview with Love and Jim Newton, the editor-at-large of the Los Angeles Times, during a lunch hosted by the Alliance with UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs.

A promotional still in the video describes the session as “a private briefing on decision making in the Oval Office with Reggie Love”

The video only shows highlights from the interview, as Love talked about daily life with the president, including the historic day when Osama bin Laden was killed.


While advisers huddled in the situation room, Love revealed that he and Obama played cards during part of the day.

“[President Obama] was like, ‘I’m not, I’m not going to be down there, I can’t watch this entire thing’,” Love said. “We must have played 15 hands-15 games of Spades.”

Love also joked about the day that Obama “finally found his birth certificate.”

“I remember when he finally found his birth certificate,” he said with a grin.

“It took a little too long, by the way,” Newton added, prompting laughter from the crowd.

“You know, your parents don’t live together you travel all over the world, documents get lost there,” Love continued.

Love revealed that Obama just wanted to walk into the press briefing room in the White House and put the birth certificate on the podium, but his staff disagreed.

“Everyone was like ‘That’s a really bad idea’,” Love said. “But he was very gung-ho about doing it, because he was so irritated about it.”

Love also revealed details of Obama's phone call with President George W. Bush about passing the Wall Street bailout and conversations with the president on the campaign trail.

“We came up with a sort of like – no MSNBC, no CNN – only sports,” Love explained. “If we’re not at a campaign event, no politics.”

The video was deleted from the Artists and Athletes Alliance YouTube account shortly after a report about Love’s comments was linked on the Drudge Report.

Although the Artists and Athletes Alliance has deleted the video, several copies still exist on YouTube – including this one.

It's illegal to upload video to Youtube if you don't have the rights. You wouldn't be supporting illegal activity, would you?
