Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country.

Text of Obama's State of the Union address

"We gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the United States safer and more respected around the world. For the first time in nine years, there are no Americans fighting in Iraq. For the first time in two decades, Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country. Most of al-Qaida's top lieutenants have been defeated. The Taliban's momentum has been broken, and some troops in Afghanistan have begun to come home."

This is worthy of applause. For the killing of Osama bin Laden, give credit where credit is due.
