In my opinion, brag all you want and let others brag all they want. Then bust with the truth whoever is bragging without having earned the right.

Obama deserves to brag about bagging Osama bin Laden. Its awesome. But when anyone tries to say that Obama's decision to bag him was something extraordinary, that's just stupid. Almost every president we've ever had plus the vast majority of the people in the country throughout history would have made the same decision if they were asked to make the decision.

Apparently Rumsfeld and Bush had a similar opportunity to go after Osama in Pakistan and passed it up because they were politically battered over their Iraq mistakes and became overly cautious. Slam Republicans for that because what Bush did was extraordinary.
