It was not a difficult decision. The SEALs were ballsy, not Obama.

The "call" was the way they went in. I believe the options presented where
- bomb the compound
- drone
- seal attack
I also believe his advisors favored bombing. Since O wanted to be 100% they got him, he went with seals. Since it risked US lives and crossed Pakistan with our troops - I believe it was a ballsy call.
