0bama’s popularity was tanking, but now he will enjoy a large bounce. He took full credit for the work of The CIA and Navy Seals. I wouldn’t be surprised if he used this as an excuse to end the War on Terror.
Be thankfull it was not the week before the presidential election.
I was initially thinking along the same lines... He is trying to clean up all the loose ends to insure his re-election despite low poll ratings.
Only problem with this scenario is that election day is is over a year and a half away. It would have been smarter to pull and October Surprise.
Are you saying that Osama, er, Obama may have ulterior motives?
Yeah, without a doubt, the timing on this is completely suspect.
There was a dead Osama pic posted to Facebook last night.... someone said her son (currently deployed in Afghanistan) had received it about a week ago and was holding it to send them after the news went out. Then someone else said, “Hey, that same picture was on the Web back in February.” Curious, isn’t it?
But the economy is still in dangerous shape, the Fed is still printing money, Obamacare is poised to wreck the health care system, illegal immigration is still a huge problem, the homosexual agenda is still being pushed and the Obama administration is pursuing arms deals that weaken our defenses and destabilize the world.
I'm sure Nixon got a bump from the moon landing occurring on his watch, but of course the ground work was done well before he came to office as president.
So we have to stay on message, and keep pointing out the problems with Obama’s agenda and providing an alternative.
If anyone could mess up a chance to re-take the White House under these circumstances, it would be the Republicans. But we have to keep their feet to the fire politically to do the right thing. Last November was a start.
As for the birth certificate, people are still looking at that situation, and we'll see what happens.
If OBL was not dead, it would be easy as hell to tape another video holding a newspaper, and make Obama look like the biggest idiot in history. He’s dead. Be happy. Stop embarrassing us.
No conspiracy, just the truth. Contrived as his Independents are falling off a cliff.
How much $$$ did we have to pay the terrorists in Pakistan?
We could have taken out OBL a long time ago.
"Maybe if we thaw out Osama Bin Laden and claim we just now killed
him they will drop the whole investigation into the phony birth certificate."
"You really think it will work?"."
"Enough to get you re-elected - and that's all that really matters."
"Cool! I see you haven't lost your touch - Sounds like a plan"!"
I hear ya. Yes we have his family in custody and I assume video of the op as it went down. Yet we also have a shifting story, burial at sea,and interesting timing in relation to the birth certificate that lends a taint to the whole thing.
Even so, the problem with a sugar high is that you eventually crash. The crash is going to suck with $5 gasoline and spiraling food prices. Things may have the opposite effect of what Obama wants.
Add to your list:
Dispose the Body in less than 6 hours.
10 hour DNA Confirmation.
Shoot, next week unemployment will be down to 4%, and gas will be under $3/gallon, right?
Obama is just one lucky ducky. He was tanking in the polls just before the election, thankfully he was saved by an out-of-the-blue emergency economic disaster. Then when it couldn’t get much worse, there was a horrible shooting of a US congresswoman in Phoenix, he got a lot of bump out of that too. Move forward to last week, the birth certificate debacle is over making many look foolish and now the killing of binLaden, which will give him a good 10 points. Timing is everything for this guy.
