New Film Attacks Obama For Boasting About Bin Laden Operation
Reuters' Mark Hosenball got an early look at a new 22-minute film from a so-called social welfare group called "Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund Inc" that attacks the Obama administration for bragging about killing Osama bin Laden:
An Obama campaign official told Reuters that it was "clear they've resorted to making things up for purely political reasons." Two top federal prosecutors are currently probing the origin of recent intelligence leaks.

"Mr. President, you did not kill Osama bin Laden, America did. The work that the American military has done killed Osama bin Laden. You did not," Ben Smith, identified as a Navy SEAL, says in the film.
"As a citizen, it is my civic duty to tell the president to stop leaking information to the enemy," Smith continues. "It will get Americans killed."

The rest will be reminded of how relieved, grateful and proud they felt that day.
Polling showed most Americans were pro Obama after this event. Not the best idea to bring it back up.
