President Obama made hunt for bin Laden top priority as soon as he became pres, and got him !!

binLaden and his many dead or running terrorist buddies don't think Obama is soft on them at all.

The first act of President Obama as soon as he took office was to call top CIA brass in and tell them in no uncertain terms that getting binLaden, the mastermind of the killing of 3000 Americans on 9-11 was his top priority. He was doing this because he truly cared about the responsibility of the President to protect the American people and bring those that harm Americans to justice. G W Bush would rather bluff and invade the wrong country while binLaden was relaxing in Pakistan for 8 years. Thanks to Obama, terrorists know that this President will not play politics with national security and they will be hunted down should they try to harm Americans. He is doing the same with the Libyan attackers. Taking his time to find out the people that committed this act and will bring the might of US justice on them once they are found out. No need to rush and invade the wrong country or kill the wrong people...that was under Bush. Sorry right wing nuts, we got a President with a cool head who doesn't play politics with national security as Bush and Cheney were doing (See Bush and "mission accomplished" story). Romney is trying to score political points from a national tragedy and it is not working for him.
