I don't give him credit for getting Bin Laden. It was the result of a process that started on the Bush days, much like the economic situation had its bases laid way before he became the president. Of course it's in the nature of politics to claim the good achievements for yourself and the bad ones for your predecessor.

Bush had almost nothing to do with finding Bin Laden. He didn't care about him. The only connection to Bush is that the guy that the got the location of Bin Laden from was in Guantanamo Bay, and didn't give away the location until the Obama administration when they stopped torturing him, and actually talked to him to get the info.

You seem pretty confident on the inner workings of politics including stuff most people won't ever know what really happened for sure. Either you are a damn liar or dug really deep into this sort of stuff. Since I don't know which of them I'm going to abstain judgement.

Anyways Bush send the guys to Afghanistan in first place and his popularity shot way up with what was perceived as energetic efforts to counter terrorism.
