It's not about Muslim sensitivities, it's about #oil silly!

Both political sides of the airwaves are discussing all the minutiae of the Osama death. Did Hillary order it? Was it really a 16 hour decision? Did Panetta actually say waterboarding did the trick? How much did Pakistan avoid telling us? Blah blah blah...

One item of particular interest is this death picture release. The White House is making all kinds of hay about "Muslim sensitivities". Let me tell you, this White House could care less about offending anyone. They do it all the time. Now, all of a sudden they're concerned about Muslim feelings? If you were so concerned about Muslim feelings, then why'd you strike him in the 1st place? He's a Muslim hero is he not?

Then it hit me. The Bin Laden family isn't known for being Muslim superstars. They're known for one thing and one thing only: OIL. The Obama administration has made it clear that terror is not a threat in their minds. Saying you're not striking him as a Muslim means there was another reason entirely.

On the political homefront, Obama gets to prevent LIBERAL sensitivities from being hurt, by treating wealthy oil barons as scourge, and keeping his call for green initiatives intact.

This goes to another template that liberals have held about the Bush era that explains liberal reasoning. The Bush era was always an illegitimate Presidency to liberals. Why? Because Gore got the popular vote. Everything that happened during the Bush years needs to be treated with disdain, including a solid foundation for the War on Terror. This attack goes against the Bush doctrine. What does this mean with respect to Osama? Well, before the Bush era, the "Bin Laden" name was known for OIL OIL OIL not Islam! To Obama, all Bin Ladens are the same!

The White House message is CRYSTAL CLEAR: Get the barrel price down, or we'll violate your sovereignty too!

Also of note is all the noise being made by Donald Trump. "Birth Certificate! China! OPEC!" Let's go down Trump's list shall we?

1) Birth Certificate. CHECK!
2) OPEC. CHECK!
3) China. WORKING ON IT!

Here we go. What does Obama do about China? Taiwan? Tibet? Tariffs? Whatever choice Obama makes will be predicated on how it will boost his poll numbers. What do you think that will be? Please feel free to comment.

Let me add another caveat to this situation. Panetta said "We have a TREASURE TROVE of information" from Osama's computers. This is a veiled threat to the Saudi royal family. How much did you know about Osama's actions and whereabouts? This scenario is playing out very interesting indeed.
