A new web video from the Obama campaign, featuring former President Bill Clinton, suggests Mitt Romney wouldn’t have made the decision to go after Osama bin Laden almost one  year ago today:

UPDATE: The Romney campaign has responded to the video, saying Obama is using bin Laden to “divide us.” Read the full statement below:

“The killing of Osama bin Laden was a momentous day for all Americans and the world, and Governor Romney congratulated the military, our intelligence agencies, and the President,” Saul said in a statement. “It’s now sad to see the Obama campaign seek to use an event that unified our country to once again divide us, in order to try to distract voters’ attention from  the failures of his administration. With 23 million Americans struggling for work, our national debt soaring, and household budgets being squeezed like never before, Mitt Romney is focused on strengthening America at home and abroad.”
