To borrow a phrase from Sarah Palin, “you betcha” Let’s swear Obama in now so we can be spared the campaign ads stating how Barack Obama brought Bin Laden to justice.

Certainly it will. Aside from not being eligible to run for public offices, he'll be eligible to vote as a demoKKKrat.

According to unnamed sources, the CIA demanded that Obama sign a non-disclosure agreement on the name of the team that went in. Obama did not want to sign it – General Patraeus insisted – Obama relented.

Obama is not out of the woods by a long shot. I moved on from Bin Laden years ago. I could swear he had taken a dirt nap. but you don’t know.

Interesting. General Patraeus had the upper hand.

$5 dollar gas and 9% unemployment. Osama being killed will factor little in the ‘12 race.

IMHO...

I would brace for terrorist backlash in terms of attacks over the next 2 years.

Some mooslimbs who want to make nice-nice so they can peacefully invade America by means of legal immigration and then getting elected may try to use it as something in common with Americans, i.e., now that he’s dead they will say he was the whole problem, all other mooselimbs are fine. I would tend to think, however, that mostly the tone will go back to the normal raging against all non-muslims and that quite a few muslims will see him as a martyr.

nobama, of course, will milk this for all it’s worth to attract centrist u.s. voters.

If the gas is $7/gallon...even if Obama captured every terrorist on the planet, it won’t matter if you are UNEMPLOYED.

Where did you hear that? Very strange for the Generals to be dictating to the President. Very strange indeed. Maybe the military is tiring of Barry.
