I can't give him credit for making a "ballsy" call. After 09/11, no one in their right mind would have refused to take the chance. I'll give him credit for making the "correct" call, but it was one of the easiest decisions any president has ever been faced with. He declined to get in the way of what obviously needed to be done. It was not a difficult decision. The SEALs were ballsy, not Obama.
