WATCH: Obama campaign ad focuses on bin Laden strike, while pro-Romney group thinks Bam is too ‘cool’

WASHINGTON — President Obama has an explosive new unofficial campaign slogan: I killed bin Laden, and Mitt Romney might not have.

A new campaign ad out yesterday features Bill Clinton reflecting on the toughest call Obama has had to make by ordering the raid to take out bin Laden, in effect using the strike for political advantage.

“Nobody can make that decision for you,” Clinton says in the ad. “Suppose the Navy SEALs had gone in there, and it hadn’t been bin Laden. Suppose they’d been captured or killed. The downside would have been horrible for him . . . He took the harder, and more honorable path.”

A graphic then poses the question: “Which path would Mitt Romney have taken?”

The ad also dredges up a 2007 quote from Romney saying, “It’s not worth spending billions of dollars moving heaven and earth just trying to catch one person.”

The Obama ad was released a day after the pro-Romney super PAC American Crossroads released its own video, blasting the president for trying to impress young voters by acting cool rather than creating jobs.

The Republican ad ridicules Obama as a celebrity, making hay out of Obama’s appearance on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” and picking up an attack from John McCain’s 2008 campaign.

The Web ad, called “Cool,” shows Obama in shades and 3-D glasses, downing a beer, singing Al Green at the Apollo Theater, and hobnobbing with Fallon — all to a hip-hop soundtrack.

Romney ally and 2008 GOP presidential foe Sen. McCain called the Obama campaign ad a “pathetic political act of self-congratulation.”

“Shame on Barack Obama for diminishing the memory of September 11 and the killing of Osama bin Laden by turning it into a cheap political attack ad,” McCain said.

Also yesterday, Obama was interviewed by NBC’s Brian Williams in the White House situation room in a segment to air on May 2, the anniversary of the killing of bin Laden.
