Are you one of these people who just likes to complain for the sake of complaining or what?

You're coming across as pretty petty when it comes to nitpicking how Obama delivered the news that Bin Laden was taken out. You're missing the entire point by begrudging the semantics that Obama used in this announcement.

Are you also one of these folks that looks down on endzone celebrations, that says "act like you've been there before"? Obama gave the order to score the ultimate killshot. He's the Head Coach that made the call to go for it on 4th and Goal from the 3 in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl, and he made the right call. The troops get to spike Bin Laden's head like a football, but--as sup-rbeast points out, had that gutsy call not been made--the celebration never happens, and he's looking for a job elsewhere.

No president is a lone-wolf...we all get your point there. Thusly the need for a VP, the cabinet, military advisors, and many other people on staff to take advice from. But when all of the advice is taken in, and all of the advisors are split as to what to do--HE makes the call. HIS political future is staked on the success/failure of what happens. If this mission had failed, lives would have been lost and we wouldn't have gotten Bin Laden. Imagine the disaster that would have been in the context of Obama's presidency. That took balls to make the call to send the Seals in, and to trust that the mission would be executed to the T.

Can't you just say "Hell yeah, he got him!" and be happy instead of worrying about his use of a personal noun modifier?
