I think you missed the point BoomBoom. You started this thread blaming Obama for them not firing the first time the captain jumped out and made a swim for it. Like seriously...are you kidding me?

So to assign that sort of responsibility to him, as you did, as Lyle and others with political agendas tend to do, then you must also assign him the responsibility for the outcome with that rationale. And seeing it was a positive outcome, yes, if you are going to assume him one way, then you should assume the other.

And of course no one with any use of unbiased logic and reason would do that, and consider that maybe it was the people in place at the scene who were handling it to the best of their abilities. Hoping for a good outcome. Not using it as a platform to blame the president.
