Wrong. The media will try to keep Obama’s glory alive for as long as they can.. but the American public, weary of wall to wall coverage just like with the BP oil spill, will start to tune out after three weeks. Within a month Obama’s temporary poll bump will disappear and OBL will go back to being what he was until this news broke - a forgotten character. The good thing is it happened 18 months before Nov 2012 instead of a month.
Look what happened to Bush I - he had a 90% approval rating after the first Gulf War and he lost the election based on "It's the Economy Stupid" ...
No doubt, this is a feather in Obama's cap [as it is for Bush II]. It was the military strategy and intel that finally got him. It was only a matter of time - over a period of 10 years ...
But, as said in the movie Patton:
"...For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. And a slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."
The braves from the other side of the aisle will dance and beat their chests and raise their eagle feather high. I celebrate their victory with them tonight. Yes, I’m drunk. LOL
Lay off the bottle, I know we are all celebrating but that does not mean any sh.. Obama is not going to be re-elected period.
It won’t be long before they start Terrorist attacks in retaliation. Maybe a dirty nuke or some form of Iranian weapon on an American target. It may even happen here in a major city. They have come close several times. Only a matter of time before they succeed.
Sorry Keith ...I didn’t mean to direct my reply to you .
The sheeple will forget about how much the economy sucks for a little while, but the election is in 18 months. When people are paying 5 bucks a gallon on their summer vacations soon, OBL taking a dirtnap won’t matter quite so much to them.
In any event, the media and lefties can give BO all the praise they want; we know where the credit is truly due. We should celebrate our military’s achievement tonight.
“2012 Electionm is Cemented for Obama (4 more years is a done deal)”
Spellcheck is your friend.
Not for me. Anytime I see coverage of 911 my anger is rekindled.
This is a good day.
We will see how politics are affected.
But the elections are a long way away.
I am not a troll, nor a Liberal apologist, but I am a realist and I know teens, college kids and young adults (as well as adults) who have NO CLUE about ANYTHING.
If nothing else, this is a reminder for when the pull the lever in 18 months.
I know it’s the economy, but I am rational, the Government will borrow until we have $1,000 lollipops due to inflation, to keep those same morons watching American Idol while munching a BK Whopper.
The American youth and young adult is moronic and simplistic, the best ones are serving in the military now.
The Media will spin this forever as they omit stories and emphasize others...this will be the forefront of the 2012 election, even if its material or not.
The Bush I example is wortheless as the Media never liked him...even though he was a RINO.
Just as an aside:
US National Anthem drowned out by cheers at 91 NHL All Star Game

The credit goes entirely to our courageous U.S. Navy Seals. We should be thankful to God that we have a nation with the capability.
I am so tired of the loser talk......
we need to keep and gain Gov. Houses...state houses ...and then the congress and retake the Senate....
control the govt and the dictator will be limited....our work is cut out for us..
Sheeple memories are short. This was good timing on the part of the Seals.
In 1989, GHW Bush oversaw the end of the Iron Curtain. In 1990 and 1991, we kicked Iraq out of Kuwait and saw the Soviet Union fall. Even so, a recession much less severe than this one swept Clinton into office.
The GOP can still win in 2012. We just need to remind people that Obama doesn't deserve credit and isn't worthy to lead this country.
If it was Oct 2012....maybe. But the election is waaaaaay off. Hussein has plenty of time to further ruin the country....
It would have happened whether Bin Laden was killed or not. As your second sentence states. This is a victory for America. Bin Laden got what was coming to him.
What I don't understand is why Obama kills Al Qaeda in one part of the world and helps them and their type gain power in Egypt and Libya. Does not make sense.
No way will he be re-elected. The Nation’s broke, real unemployment is at 20%, real inflation is 10%..........and all Barry knows how to do is print, tax and spend.
UBL was no friend of Iran....they may have also played a role in this.
