I think the simplest answer is normally the correct one
They knew where Osama was hiding, and had done since September, but Obama held off pursuing it under the banner of "Intelligence Gathering" until the start of his re-election campaign.
Indeed, they probably did gather intelligence during that period, but the decision was Obamas and he made that decision when it was right for him.
Maybe.
Maybe they just went in and shot him.
