After all the criticism, Obama widely praised

EVEN though the US presidential election is more than 12 months away, support for President Barack Obama has soared following the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Republicans, Democrats and former high-ranking members of staff have come out in praise of Obama, the work of the intelligence community and the army in the operation that was completed after years of painstaking work on Sunday evening.

Who would have believed that former vice-president Dick Cheney would have something good to say about President Barack Obama’s policies?
