“Thank God for President Obama,” Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Monday afternoon.

Limbaugh credited the president with the strategy that led to the killing of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama,” Limbaugh said Monday afternoon at the start of his show. “President Obama has done something extremely effective, and when he does, this needs to be pointed out.”

While military experts wanted to bomb the Pakistani mansion where bin Laden was hiding, Limbaugh said, Obama may have “single-handedly [come] up with the technique” of attacking the target at the ground level. He credited the president with much more military prowess than Obama critics usually attribute to the president.
