Levinson, has an interesting take on the Obama Campaign&#8217;s efforts to make it seem as though our affirmative action commander-in-chief personally led the raiding party of SEALs that took out Osama bin Laden. Levinson refers to this cynical exploitation of our troops as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/2012\/06\/barack_obamas_stolen_valor.html\">Barack Obama&#8217;s Stolen Valor<\/a>,&#8221; and suggests that a shortened version, dropping the Barack, would make a pointed bumper sticker during this election season.<\/p>\n<p>Levinson is spot-on, of course, in applying the premise of B.G. Burkett&#8217;s seminal book in his assessment of Obama&#8217;s shameless attempt to appear to be what he isn&#8217;t, a decisive military tactician and boldly courageous combat leader. Think about it, what is the difference between that counterfeit claim and those of this  little worm, &#8220;Ronad&#8221; Mailahn and the other phony warriors Jonn exposes here regularly, other than the higher level of the deception and the far greater significance of Obama&#8217;s theft of valor?<\/p>\n<p>One of the comments to Levinson&#8217;s piece is insightful in noting that Obama is intimately involved with seals but not SEALs. Obama is surrounded by trained political <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pinniped\">pinnipeds<\/a> that perch on their pedestals, barking their approval of his every command, flapping their flippers enthusiastically as they do his bidding in return for smelly morsels of political spoils. <\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what a nation gets when it applies the misguided concept of  affirmative action to the selection of presidents and commanders-in-chief. <\/p>\n<p>It just occurred to me that perhaps someone should Photoshop Obama&#8217;s haughty mug onto that pic of Sergeant Major Mailahn. it just seems so appropriate. Know what I mean?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADDED:<\/strong> Thanks to Mark for the updated photo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over at American Thinker, author, William A.
