Will Obama be updating his resume after his announcement that a team of Americans had finally tracked and killed Osama bin Laden?

How well I remember that ill-fated, badly bungled raid, Yoni. (I was mid-20's at the time.) It unfortunately typified Jimmy Carter's presidency. A nicer, better, more compassionate human being never lived, but as a leader - a democrat - with the house & senate also democrats, he still could get nothing done. The double-digit inflation & double-digit interest killed the economy. The bungled raid spoke of the perceived utter impotency of post-Vietnam, post-Watergate America. I don't know what Reagan said to the Iranian "students" holding the hostages, but I do remember the hostages being freed AS Reagan was being sworn in.

As opposed to Jimmy Carter's ill-fated, rescue-fiasco in the Iranian Desert: "Operation Eagle-Claw" (1979). Two choppers crash, another suffers mechanical problems and the corpses of American GIs are strewn across the desert. Carter's resume-update? "I'm a one-term President!" Resumes are indeed forums to stress success and leave out failure, though I do hope Obama will be a one-termer!

BTW,

No attempt at sarcasm or wit in the "Eagle-Claw" comment. I was in the 6th or 7th grade in America still when the principal (remember -pal on the end, for the principle is your pal) got on the loud-speaker and announced the news. It was a national trauma, and one, which most commentators agree, handed the presidency to Ronald Reagan.
