Now it is becoming a political football one that the president had promised not to spike.

Chief White House correspondent Ed Henry reports tonight politically for the Obama campaign the bin Laden decision appears to be the gift.

They keeps on giving.

That's an intense.

Look on your face and Friday's video questioning whether Romney would -- taken out bin Laden sparked a furious response from Republican John McCain quote.
