Here is what he did. He had the balls to give the go ahead and send our troops into another country to do this without telling that country we what we were going to do. It is a risk and it is a ballsy move. Had he given this information to the Pakistani leaders and they let Osama slip through their hands conservatives would be crucifying Obama for not being tough on terrorism. He took the risk and gave the go ahead. Had our troops went in there and slaughter a bunch of civilians or killed the wrong guy the repercussions on Obama could have been major.

Like it or not the president gets the credit when things go good and they get the blame when things go bad regardless of how much of a role they actually played in those things.
