Obama Admin to Release Obama-Osama Movie on October 12, 2012!

Classy.

Just two days after the deadliest week in the war in Afghanistan - a week that saw 38 deaths when a helicopter was brought down by a rocket-propelled grenade - President Obama is using the heroic actions of Navy SEAL Team Six to bolster his reelection efforts.

The White House is also counting on the Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal big-screen version of the killing of Bin Laden to counter Obama’s growing reputation as ineffectual. The Sony film by the Oscar-winning pair who made “The Hurt Locker” will no doubt reflect the president’s cool, gutsy decision against shaky odds. Just as Obamaland was hoping, the movie is scheduled to open on Oct. 12, 2012 — perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost to a campaign that has grown tougher.

The moviemakers are getting top-level access to the most classified mission in history from an administration that has tried to throw more people in jail for leaking classified information than the Bush administration.

It was clear that the White House had outsourced the job of manning up the president’s image to Hollywood when Boal got welcomed to the upper echelons of the White House and the Pentagon and showed up recently — to the surprise of some military officers — at a C.I.A. ceremony celebrating the hero Seals.

Oh, did I mention that 22 of the 38 who died in this weekend's helicopter crash were from Navy SEAL Team Six?

Yeah.

Classy.

In the spirit of "What did he know and when did he know it," I'd love to know when the White House began negotiations for this movie. Was it before the operation was carried out? Immediately afterwards? How long did it take the Obama administration to begin planning to use Bin Laden's death to retain power?
