Bush credited by many with Osama bin Laden's death

A lot of Americans give George Bush some of the credit for Osama bin Laden’s killing: In a May 2 poll, “Among Republicans, 61 percent say Obama deserves at least some credit for . . . bringing bin Laden to justice after a nearly 10-year pursuit by U.S. intelligence and military forces. Republicans are more apt to give former president George W. Bush acclaim for killing bin Laden, with 81 percent saying he deserves at least some of the credit for what happened Sunday. . .35 percent of Democrats share that view,” with “4 percent giving the former president a lot of credit.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) is now thanking George W. Bush for his role in bin Laden’s destruction.
