It's not silly at all. This is what Presidents do, this is what citizens expect of their President. It doesn't matter if people already know, it's his duty to stand before this country and deliver the news.

How do we know it's not a ploy, like beginning the original war "we can find him quickly..." that drug on forever.

Maybe I'm overly cynical.

Maybe you'll feel better about it after Donald Trump examines the body *giggle*

The collective GOP brain must be exploding right now. Not only will this news knock them off the front page for a bit, it's going to make this a bad time to criticize Obama. Plus there's that whole favorables are going to soar thing - his poll numbers are probably already up. The final kicker is going to be this September, when the country observes the 10th anniversary knowing that Obama was responsible for finding and killing OBL.
