Cheney praised President Obama for the judgment he exercised in making the call to go forward with the raid.

Republicans are having a hard time dealing with this.
Cheney: "... getting bin Laden has long been "the ultimate goal, the ultimate objective" of the U.S. counterterrorism program."
Except when Bush said he was "truly not concerned about bin Laden."

But during a news conference at the White House on March 13, 2002, Bush said something close to what Kerry quoted. "I truly am not that concerned about him," the president said, according to the official White House transcript.
The exchange between Bush and Kerry came during rebuttals to the first question of the debate, when moderator Bob Schieffer of CBS News asked Kerry whether the United States would regain the sense of security it had before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
"Six months after he said Osama bin Laden must be caught dead or alive, this president was asked, 'Where's Osama bin Laden?' " Kerry said. "He said, 'I don't know. I don't really think about him very much. I'm not that concerned.' We need a president who stays deadly focused on the real war on terror."

"We haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is," Bush said during the 2002 news conference. "I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. I know he is on the run.

With the election coming up, he wouldn't dare say the same thing with all his patsies looking on. New heart/old heart = same brain/same evil soul.
