SEALs slam Obama for using them in bid to take credit for bin Laden killing during election

24. He certainly gave the seals credit for their success.

They would never have had the chance under Romney, because he wouldn't pursue Osama in Pakistan. He stated as much in a 07 debate. He plays everything too safe and both ways, to be decisive, he would have probably taken the bomb route and destroyed a lot of intelligence at the site and the certainty of the fact the US got Bin Ladin.
One of the first things he did when taking office, he instructed his defense chief and cia director to
give the elimination of Osama top priority.
Obama deserves the right to point out that he accomplished his goal of getting Osama, because he made it a priority. Romney or Bush made it a back burner issue, you will not hit the target if you aim in an other direction. Ask the seals who were greeted at the white house, if they were not rewarded for their heroic actions.
