Actually, it is not entirely true that President Obama is taking credit for it. He has been very clear that this was a team effort and that it was the Navy Seals who courageously carried out the mission. But it should be noted that part of the job of the U. S. President is to be Commander in Chief of the U. S. Armed Forces. While George W. Bush was unable to find Bin Laden, President Obama's team did find him, and it was thus President Obama who supervised the mission, and personally gave the go-ahead; he and his foreign policy and military advisers then watched from his office while the plan was successfully implemented.

Why doesn't Barack Obama like Osama Bin Laden?

Like most Americans, Mr. Obama was very upset by what happened on 9/11/2001, when nearly 3000 innocent American civilians were killed in attacks that were planned by Osama Bin Laden. When Barack Obama was a candidate, he said if he were elected, he would make capturing and/or killing Bin Laden more of a focus than he believed President Bush had done. And once Mr. Obama was elected, he carried out his promise. It should be noted that like President Bush, Barack Obama has no animosity against Islam itself. But he believed anyone who killed innocent Americans deserved to be brought to justice, and that is why he re-focused American military might on going after Bin Laden-- because of what Bin Laden had done when he orchestrated the attack on America.
