Mitt Romney Disappointed in Obama's Jabs on Osama bin Laden

At CBS:

Mitt Romney hit back at President Obama Tuesday for his campaign's suggestion the presumptive Republican nominee may not have ordered elite forces to go after Osama bin Laden, saying he was "disappointed" the issue had become political.

"I think them taking credit for the right decision is entirely appropriate. I think trying to attack me on that basis is disappointing and the wrong course," Romney said in an interview with "CBS This Morning."

Romney was asked about a new ad featuring former President Bill Clinton touting Mr. Obama's decision to order the now famous SEAL Team 6 into bin Laden's compound in Pakistan a year ago.

The ad then quotes Romney from his first run for president, when he told an interviewer in 2007 that it is "not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person."

The issue has become front and center in the political campaign in the past few days leading up to Tuesday's anniversary of bin Laden's death.

"Of course the right course was to assassinate, execute Osama bin Laden and that is precisely what happened, and I congratulate the president for doing so. And I am confident and that of course I would have taken exactly the same decision," Romney said, "any thinking American would have ordered exactly the same thing."

Well, let's just hope Romney does go all John McCain or anything. You know, we wouldn't want to be too harsh on old Baracky!
