The one good thing that Obama has done cannot make up for all the harm he has done otherwise.

I am just going to go ahead and say this...All these people want to give credit where credit is due. That’s fine. I will as well. However, ANY president would have made the same choice I’m certain with the intel they had. It is the intelligence agencies and the military that deserve the credit, not Obama for making a “call”.

Obama is opportunist above all else. His motivation for getting this right is more to do with how it would help HIM not help his country. Of that I am convinced.

It would have been a savvy political move to thank Bush, but Obama couldn't do it. Thank goodness. Had Obama gracefully acknowledged W his stock would have risen among woman and independents.

“ANY president would have made the same choice”

Well, maybe not.
From what I’ve read, Clinton was offered Bin Laden twice by the Pakistanis and declined the offer.

Hey could some Photoshop Freeper put a “Mission Accomplished” banner behind Obama and his teleprompter ?
Would be kind of a slick way to give credit to President Bush.
