“I think it is going to be part of the president’s job to be able to deal with more than one thing at once.”

— Candidate Obama, September 2008.

Indeed, sir.  Indeed.

U.S. Navy SEALs have rescued an American and a Danish hostage from Somali pirates after they had been held for months. The same SEAL team that raided Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan carried out this raid, the AP reports. President Obama seemed to refer to the raid ahead of Tuesday’s State of the Union address, telling Panetta, “Good job tonight.”

Obama is seen in this White House photo phoning Jessica Buchana’s father John last night to inform him of her rescue.

We don’t want to seem tooooo biased and all, but there is no denying that Navy SEAL hostage rescues and the ensuing presidential phone calls are pretty badass.
