> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > … President Obama goofed when he specified that the raid that resulted in bin Laden’s death had been carried out by SEAL Team Six, rather than just saying that it had been carried out by “Special Forces.” Had he said **that** , he would have gotten all kinds of flak for not knowing the difference between Army & Navy. As I recall, he referred to it as an assassination–I’d call that a gaffe but I don’t have a cite. I think the important thing here is that Obama’s misspeaks are quite rare.

If he hadn’t done so, he would have been derelict and would have been castigated by Congress. You mean like DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell before it was repealed?
