I fail to see why Obama should not claim credit for approving and partially planning the elimination of Bin Laden.
a) because he himself talked about the inappropriateness of "spiking the football"
b) because in the process of trying to pat his own back, he and others grossly take out of context words by his presidential opponent, implying he wouldn't have "approved and partially planned the elimination of Bin Laden"
I realize he has no other accomplishments to run on, validated by your ample examples of nothing, but the electorate isn't as stupid as he wishes they were
