It seems to me that the President is turning his biggest campaign asset (the killing of Osama Bin Laden) into a liability. A subtle reminder to the voters once in a while is fine, but they will tolerate only a certain amount of self-congratulations. The public knows most presidents would have given the order. Twisting Romney's words and claiming he wouldn't have is a hard sell.
The word is that the military doesn't like what the President is doing, and some retired Seals might start publicly complaining if Obama doesn't stop it. Who is going to win that argument with the voters? I'd put my money on the Seals. But, don't worry Democrats, when the Seals start complaining, you can be there to tell them to shut up, the GOP did the same thing after 9/11. That should work.
