He also called Clinton. Just protocol is my guess.
Plus he had to call Boehner, all members of the NSC among many others.
Also, and this hasnt really been addressed much...after they were convinced it was OBL (which was confirmed long after the raid) the CIA/NSA needed time to warn their embassies and other US interests about what was to be revealed, and for them to step up security before the reaction from the nutbars. Probably a pretty good idea.
