You are right. FWIW, it was shameless a year ago when Obama had a hasty little speech the day they got Osama. It was an embarrassing display. He couldn’t even wait till the next day, or the next whatever until all intel could be digested.
I think Obama’s statement about the killing of Osama had the first person pronoun 16 times, or something like that. He wanted to be sure the country credited him with the achievement. Someone contrasted that with George W. Bush’s statement when Saddam Hussein was captured—entirely focused on praising the troops who accomplished the deed.
