In a May 2 editorial, The Washington Times wrote that President Obama showed “no class” in his speech about the death of Osama bin Laden, claiming that Obama “snub[bed]” former President Bush and “prais[ed] himself.” The Times further wrote, “Had Mr. Obama been in Mr. Bush's position on Sept. 11, 2001, bin Laden would still be alive today, and probably winning.”

From the Times' editorial, headlined, “No Class: Obama snubs Bush, praises himself”:

It can be awkward when a dove tries to pass himself off as a war hero. From the tone of President Obama's speech Sunday night, it'd be easy to conclude he was the one who came up with the idea that America should hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden.

[...]

The national unity, sense of purpose and offensive posture were largely the result of Mr. Bush's decisive action and strong leadership following national tragedy. Had Mr. Obama been in Mr. Bush's position on Sept. 11, 2001, bin Laden would still be alive today, and probably winning.
