it happened on his watch, he gave the order to take him out, he gets to share in the credit....if it had failed, and if hard core conservatives were honest, they would admit that they would have crucified him, compared the attempt to the failed rescue attempt by the Carter administration to rescue the hostages....the right would have put all the blame on his shoulders if this would have failed....it just kills the right that Obama gets to claim some credit.

if he doesnt give the order, the operation doesnt happen...so the order does mean something...Obama put his Presidency at stake, he took a real risk giving the go ahead, knowing full well that if it failed, the right would use it as a hammer on him.Generally, presidents give credit for successful operations to the people on the ground and avoid taking direct credit for their actions.
Also, giving an order really does mean just about nothing.
Is this another stupid youtube video?Thanks, OK lets try it again.
Why does President Obama take so much credit for killing Bin Laden? - YouTube
Please watch the video and then comment......thanks
the video wouldnt change my opinion navy, sorry, it won't....everything i said is the stone cold truth...if it had failed, obama would have gotten ALL THE BLAME from the right...why shouldnt he share in some of the success?. be honest navy, you would have been one of the first on his arse if it had failed, screaming about how it would have been a reflection of his Presidency....Please watch the video and then comment......thanks

Did you lefties listen to Clinton's comments insinuating that id things went wrong it would be bade for Hussein Obama...........My question for you is how about Seal team 6....Would it be bad for them? Give me a ****ing break......
Actually in terms of what Clinton was talking about he is right. He was talking about what politically could have gone wrong for Obama had the mission gone bad.
Let me ask you a question. Why are they stupid when a Conservative posts one and brilliant when a lefty like you does it.......Never been able to understand that one......

They are stupid no matter who posts them, unless the video is an unedited eyewitness type report. Or comedy.
And to answer your OP, he is doing exactly what every president does, taking credit for successes of his administration.
notice i said 'some'...read for comprehension my friend...very proud of our seals ....no kidding navy, they carried out a dangerous mission, and could have died....thankfully, that didnt happen, and the mission was a great success...God bless our men and women in uniform...they stand ready to do great violence so that we may sleep at night.What about the SEAL 6 guys? I notice you don't mention them........You do know they are the ones laying their life on the line........If the mission had failed don't you think it would have been much worse for them then Obama?
well GWB didn't do it when he got Hussein Obama, whoops I mean Saddam Hussein.........I sure get those 2 mixed up.:wink:
