The first person on the right who blames the President for this is dead to me.

See: Marine Video: Why Doesn’t The Media Blame It On Obama?

Remember half a decade ago, when the media was pushing story after story about “atrocities” and “torture” in Iraq? There were real acts of cowardly and dishonorable behavior by soldiers in some instances, and they were prosecuted for it. But do you remember the media analysis of why they were occuring? Somehow, it was a reflection on President George W. Bush and his administration that some admittedly terrible things happened in the war zone.

I’m wondering if we are going to hear the same thing about the Marine video? You know, that because of Obama’s prosecution of the war, and the strain that his Afghan surge has put on our soldiers, he bears partial responsibility for the conduct of these Marines.
