President Obama is a great campaigner, a fact that cannot be denied. But, to parade the Killing of Bin-Laden around as if it's the Stanley cup is in bad taste and his poll numbers will soon reflect this faux pas.
President Obama's was given proper due at the time of the Bin-Laden operation. It was, in fact, a tough decision, but not so tough that others (Mitt Romney) are incapable of coming to the same decision as implied in the video below.

When asked after the raid "who fired the shot", the SEAL's replied "assume we all did". The president to this day remains unaware who actually killed Bin-Laden. And that's the way it should be. Much more went into the Bin-Laden raid than the SEAL's on the ground, and for the SEAL's, or a single individual to take credit is considered dishonorable among warriors.
President Obama would be wise to imitate this military trait. Much more went into the decision to go after Bin-Laden than just his "ok", But if one were to believe the recent boasting from our Commander In Chief, you'd think it was a one man show!
Arrogance at times can be construed as an asset. However, your exaggerated self-opinion in this matter, Mr. President, depicts you as nothing more than a braggart to the American people.
Others have pointed out that Obama, et al. used to scream that tough talk and action were recruiting tools for Al Qaeda -- so I guess he and the White House Islamists are recruiting for "the base."
That is just so wrong.
The real loser in all this, although he hasn’t complained since Obama is his boss, is Eric Holder. If they had brought Bin Laden back to the US alive, Holder could have put him on trial in New York City.
Bragging actively invites the evil forces of envy, and Barky's base is envy incarnate. If he goes off script gloats about his dozens of golf outings and luxury vacations, he's lost re-election. You know he wants to. The media just needs to throw him the bait.
Hero or Braggart?
Neither
LIAR.
