Yes, but no one said he had absolutely nothing to do with it. At least, no one here did, so pointing that argument at those in this thread is kind of like yelling at a stranger for something your wife did.

That's irrelevant. I'm not a right-wing nut job and I never said I wouldn't give Obama any credit. I'm just tired of seeing shit like posters that have pictures of Obama that say, "I killed Osama bin Laden. I'm a badass." or some such nonsense. Obama didn't kill anyone. He didn't even risk his life and those men do, so fucking order or no order, the bulk of my respect goes to them. Interestingly, my opinion of Obama leads me to believe he would agree with me on that.
