Class Act: Obama Calls Bush re Osama bin Laden
This is President Bush’s statement about President Obama’s call to him tonight:
“Earlier this evening, President Obama called to inform me that American forces killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al Qaeda network that attacked America on September 11, 2001.
I congratulated him and the men and women of our military and intelligence communities who devoted their lives to this mission. They have our everlasting gratitude.
This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.”

Very very well said.
Class shown by both Presidents on this issue.
Excellence as POTUS is not about IQ. Excellence as POTUS is about gathering the best counsel possible (which is not easy, and is a true executive skill); then choosing, wisely, from amongst the options available and from amongst the counsel given.
Yes.
Beautifully handled by both presidents. This is what I like to see!
This is something Obama promised when he was elected that he would do, and now not a person can deny him of that, but critics will always have their say… Bin Laden has propelled him to an honor that he remains respectfully subdued in such circumstances that another world away, the world and Islam are watching.
