Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama on Monday appeared to call out Mitt Romney over what he said about going after Osama bin Laden on the campaign trail four years ago, as opposed to on the eve of the first anniversary of the raid that killed the terrorist leader.
Asked about Romney's comments earlier in the day that the decision to go after bin Laden was a clear one and that "even Jimmy Carter would" have made the call, Obama referred to a difference between what Romney said during his 2008 presidential campaign and on the eve of the first anniversary of the attack.
"I assume that people meant what they said when they said it," Obama said during a joint appearance with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda. "That's been at least my practice. I said that I'd go after bin Laden if we had a clear shot at him, and I did. If there are others who said one thing and now suggest they'd do something else, I'd go ahead and let them explain."
Didn't Obama say from 2002-2008 that we were wasting time, money and lives on two wars also?
Try to reply to subject of thread please. Thanks.Romney 2007: It's not worth spending billions of dollars trying to catch bin laden

Stop using Romney's own words against him. He changed his mind again already.
Well, well, look, it's kidrocks, the turd that keeps resurfacing to the top of the toilet. As usual, the left is lying and only took part of his quote, they did not include the part where he stated:
"We'll move everything to get him. But I don't want to buy into the Democratic pitch that this is all about one person Osama bin Laden because after we get him, there's going to be another and another,"
And how about Barack Obama. He was informed by Leon Panetta that the Navy SEALs new exactly where Osama Bin Laden was, and could take him out in 45 minutes. Panetta pleaded with Obama to give the green light to take him out. What was Obama's response:
"I'll sleep on it"
24 hours later, Panetta and top military officials had to profoundly twist Obama's arm to get the green light.
Even Navy SEALs and Arianna Huffington are shredding Obama over this thing with Bin Laden. This just points to extreme desperation on the part of Obama and his most devout of marxist loyalists.
If OBL was so important why didn't we capture him and keep it secret while we interrogated him?
Why kill him? Did Obama need something to run on other than the terrible economy?

There you have it... That's Romney on bin Laden saying in 2007 that, "It's not worth moving heaven and earth, spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person." Yes boys and girls, It's all about 'money' to Mr 1%.
