In one of the few challenges to the U.S., under the Obama administration, where an immediate U.S. response was feasible, the Obama results were:

No prancing around on an aircraft carrier prematurely proclaiming "Mission accomplished!" No making threats and promises we couldn't carry out or issuing inflammatory statements that alienated the rest of the world. Instead-- 3 dead Somali pirates, the fourth arrested, and a rescued U.S. sea captain.
