President Obama Played Cards During Abbottabad Raid . . .

. . . according to his "body man," Reggie Love.
"Most people were like down in the Situation Room and [President Obama] was like, 'I'm not going to be down there, I can't watch this entire thing.' We must have played 15 games of spades."
Given how long the raid took from takeoff in Afghanistan to completion, and how stressful the wait must have been, this isn't necessarily a damning revelation. But it is interesting that this only came out now, whereas during the 2012 campaign the President's proxies made it seem as if Obama had personally parachuted into Pakistan himself to kill Osama bin Laden.

"Hurry up, I've got a poker game to get back to!"
