Obama says he hasn't spiked football to mark bin Laden death - TheHill.com

Responding to GOP criticism of “spiking the football" on the anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death, President Obama said Monday there hasn't been "any excessive celebration" by his administration.
Speaking to reporters a day before the one-year anniversary, Obama took issue with the notion that his administration has tried to politicize the issue.

"I hardly think you’ve seen any excessive celebration taking place here," Obama said at a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Noda.

"I think the American people remember rightly what we as a country accomplished in bringing to justice someone who killed 3,000 of our citizens."
