he claims that the number is 191 already. okay? we re still six months away from the election. and he says that that number is more than george w. bush and bill clinton combined. is he now the campaigner in chief? are those criticisms fair, lanny? let me start with you? first of all, good morning, ed, and the two of us having been in politicking for a few years. let me say how shocked i am that an incumbent president is campaigning for office as president and the opposition party is complaining. this is a shocking development in american politics. lanny, it s more than other people. of course more. hear more than predecessors combined that doesn t make a dent. funny numbers. let s see the numbers. secondly, wouldn t you expect the republicans to said it s more and democrats say it s less. i remember when they criticized saying it s more. shocking, partisan politics, it s nothing but that.
political ads and one that is controversial. veterans have just released an ad. some of them include navy seals in which they object to president obama s handling of the usama bin laden raid anniversary. let s watch this new ad and get to you comment. i can report i directed leon pa net attachment i was briefed. i met repet ed willly. i called. i as commander and chief. we don t need to spike the football. i said that i would go after bin laden if we had a clear shot at him and did i. suppose the navy seals had gone in there suppose they had been captured and killed. the downside would have been horrible. lanny, let me start with you. obviously they are pointing out that perhaps president obama has taken too much credit for this. what do you make of this?
