I think this info below is a more realistic scenario . . . full Q&A at link, but of course, as Prez, you get all the credit no matter which way an op falls out. There is a whole lotta stuff that goes on behind closed doores . . .

White House Insider: Obama Hesitated – Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden

Q: You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?
A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.” There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.
