It gave him a little more respectability as a man of action in the eyes of some, but I'm not convinced. When dealing with pirates, it doesn't take a genius to say "use our superior military force and kill them". There aren't political repercussions from ordering the death of a pirate as there would be a foreign political actor, so as a statesman, the choice is pretty clear. If the hostage had been killed, it still wouldn't have been portrayed as Obama's fault.
