First, that's not Obama taking all the credit.
Second, I can think of a couple of examples of guys in Obama's position who "should have and would have done" and yet didn't. So I don't think it's such a terrible thing to re-assure the American public that someone is in charge actually capable of making the right call, and explaining in as much detail as he could the process by which that call got made.
Or would you have preferred he just invaded Pakistan in 2008, when the initial lead surfaced?
While I'm not a big Obama guy, and I did get a very slight feeling that Obama was being a little "I"-centric, the above pretty much nails it.
