I personally think that taking out the goatfucker shows that Obama is sporting a pair. Bush didn't take him out when he could have because at his core, Bush is a coward. He knew that taking out the leader of al qaeda meant they would probably make a move on HIM, and Bush is a certified thumb-sucking bedwetter deserter.
Obama doesn't suffer from fear of such things... i mean, if he feared assassination he wouldn't have even run. I don't think most of the drooling horde of teabaggers can even grasp the concept that taking out the head of a group of suicidal killers comes at great personal risk. It is enough that even the chicken hawks like Cheney can admire it.
