I bet it rankles you a lot that he actually carried out a campaign promise! Seriously, so what? Yes he was only a cog in the machine, but we can't deny he was a contributor to the infrastructure allowing this to happen. This news will eventually pass, we've still got all of these military campaigns going on in the midst of a drawdown and I sincerely doubt we've seen the last act of terror. That other stuff you mentioned there will still be an issue tomorrow and the next day when our collective sigh of relief is over.

You want Obama out of office? Find someone to defeat him with better policy, not put themselves out there like idg'its dropping 'F' bombs in their campaign slogans and trying to prove birthing documents were falsified. Never much cared for our current Commander in Chief, but today is a significant day and it happened on his watch. It won't make a single lick of difference come the next election as people have a couple more years to prove or disprove himself as an effective leader.

I'm not giving him entire credit because the entire process that led to this capture/kill started well before Obama was even a thought on anyone's mind as president. If ANYONE deserves credit for this it is the intelligence community for tracking him down and then the Navy SEALs and CIA who put the bullets in his body. That's it. He has kept the same strategies in place that Bush had, the same military personnel, the same SECDEF until July, etc. So he really didn't change anything in that aspect. He just continued it on.

I think he's proven to be a so-so leader so far. But you know he's going to use this as part of his reelection.
