Obama: 'World Safer' With Bin Laden Dead

The Hill reports:

President Obama declared "this is a good day for America" in comments from the White House just hours after his announcement that Osama bin Laden is dead.

Obama, speaking about bin Laden at the beginning of a ceremony to honor two Medal of Honor recipients, said "the world is safer" after bin Laden's death.

As further details of the daring strike by a U.S. Navy SEAL team emerged on Monday, the White House was in a jubilant mood.

The president repeated the belief he expressed Sunday night that, as Americans, "there is nothing we can't do."
