'Spiking the Football'

Not only is President Obama's OBL ad blatantly hypocritical -- having so righteously stressed the importance of not "spiking the football" after his death -- and absurd (who wouldn't have given the order to take out bin Laden?), but it raises a question that not many will ask and whose answer is obvious: What would be the political fallout if a Republican president had questioned his Democratic opponent in that way? I get a headache just thinking about the hyperventilating outrage about questioned patriotism and using national security for political gain.
