John Stockwell, whose film recounts the dramatic behind-the-scenes decisions behind the raid on Osama bin Laden—and airs just two days before the election—fights back against criticism that President Obama was given a ‘starring role’ to juice up his chances at reelection.

About time the Prez gets some cinematic points for his starring role in taking down Bin Laden.

1. Bush got a starring role, with costumes and props, all the time.

Mission Accomplished sock prop, Rubber turkey in Iraq, Chainsaw to manly clear the brush in Texas, Bullhorn while standing on the rubble of the WTC. And he didn't make a single Executive decision in any of these instances. He just had photo ops.

2. He also got an ACTUAL propaganda film done about 9/11 where he was a fearless leader....

It was a real joke. They had a scene where he argued with his secret service detail saying his place was in Washington.

In reality, he ran like a rabbit and hid out in fear until members of his own party started to criticize him for being a coward.

It was everything they could do to get him back before dark. When he made the walk from the helicopter he kept looking at the shrubbery as if some guy was gonna shoot him. Then he saw the camera and gave it a dirty look like, "You are only filming me because you HOPE you will get footage of my assassination."
