One of the most hated men in history has been killed by our troops by a Commander-in-Chief who has done everything in his power to demean, de-fund, impose demeaning homosexuality and restrict the ability of our troops to fight terror, including pursuing civilian trials for captured would-be terrorists.
Let's be fair here, the average American hasn't a clue what century the French & Indian War was fought in and probably cannot tell you who who Joe Biden is, so the mainstream media will run with this for all its worth. The Media will give 100% credit to Obama and mark my words, the RINOs will kow-tow even more and the Dems will be emboldened.
The moronic college kids and their Commie professors will forget all their anti-American, pro-terror rhetoric just enough for Novermber 2012 to come around. The media is fully invested in Obama and cheered and lied for him even when to most Americans he was failing. This single act is their inverted Pearl Harbor, they will fly the "Obama killed Osama when Bush Couldn't" forever.
This moniker will follow Obama forever, like how Watergate will always be tagged to Richard Nixon and how Bush I will be credited with toppling the Iraqis in 1991.
This will be forever spun by journalists and a crowning moment, a reason that Obama is tough and another way to let him have his way with the economy, jobs, climate change, unions, Libya, nuclear power, Obama Care, homosexual marriage, gun confiscation, tax hikes, gas prices, educational failure, amnesty...the butter will be softened forever for Obama, he will not need a steak knife, merely a butter knife to get things done. Look for the EPA, FDA, FCC and every other attack dog regulatory agency to become hyper-aggressive in the coming months and years.

I couldn’t agree with your statement more. Besides, there will be little change in the status of the “overseas military contingency. “
What hogwash.
GHW Bush had a 91% approval after the first Gulf War.
Didn’t do him a bit of good a year and a half later.
And in 1991 Bush 41 had 90% approval rating and he was considered unbeatable.
Headline is BS.
Maybe if it was October, 2012. But it isn’t.
Keep inhaling.
WOW! You give up easy.
The Pakistani’s wanted Osama bin Laden dead or they wouldn’t have allowed this to happen. They’re cutting deals with the Chinese, and the Chinese government doesn’t want to deal with Al Qaeda. This act turns Al Qaeda’s full interest towards the west, exclusively.
Obama is no genius and the Liberals/Progressives will get some play off of this, but not all the way until Nov. 2012.
It’s the economy that will sink Obama as a candidate.
Bush said he wanted Obama “Dead or Alive”.
Mission Accomplished!
Besides - 0bama despises the military.
Different time, different country, but remember Winston Churchill was bounced as England’s PM literally 2 months after WW2 ended in Europe (July, 1945). The war with Japan was still ongoing.
Agreed .
Nope, no way, for several reasons. This means nothing to Obama’s liberal base. Conservatives still won’t like him. The economy is still in the tank (no pun intended). Some other thug will take OBL’s place and terror will still be a threat. We still have 2 wars (3 counting Libya) ongoing. These feelings of national unity are very short-lived. It didn’t even last that long after 9-11.
If Obamaflation keeps up, he will not be re-elected.
Mark my words...............you’re a lousy prognosticator. This “cements” nothing! And the euphoria won’t last.
or George Herbert Walker Bush. Plus God only knows what kind of mayhem this killing of Osama will release in the Middle East, Europe and even in the USA...
B.S. This will last for a week or two art most. Thank G*d this didn’t happen a week before the election the campaign hasn’t even started. 0bama has to run on $5 gallon gas, rampant unemployment and inflation.
Yeah, but he was also running slick Willy who you must admit, was an excellent speaker and a very good politician. They didn't call him slick Willy for nothing.
We need a slick conservative
I’ll have whatever you are smoking man, must be some gooooood stuff!
My first thought at reading this: Are you out of your FReeping mind?
I read it twice. I still ask:
Are you out of your FReeping mind?
More than once tonight, I heard that more than 70 percent of Americans thought Osama would never be caught or killed.
This (OBL death) is good news, to be sure. But it will be long forgotten and of no benefit for Obama in a few weeks.
Oh please, 3 days can be a life time in politics, 18 months is a political eternity. You cannot use the events of this day as any kind of electorate predictor.
