Oh, yes, a backbone like a ramrod, big and bad and bold Obama decided to give the order for the Navy Seals to take out bin Laden. Wow. Was it that hard to decide? He made a decision that any other president would have made in the same circumstance, and they probably would not have taken months to decide it.
