Obama passed on the opportunity twice:

"One administration official said that Obama advisers presented him with the option of bombing the compound. Advisers also presented the president with plans to conduct raids on the compound on two other occasions, but Obama rejected the plan, according to another administration official."

Anonymous sources - no mention of when Obama didn’t approve the raid. I like more trustworthy information before making any comments.

"Obama passed on the opportunity twice:"

Not in the least surprising. Political expediency above all else.
