Will Bin Laden's death help Obama
« on: May 03, 2011, 01:09:54 AM »
Maybe, maybe not.  The stock market had a very strong start in reaction to the news (especially in the night markets) but closed lower.  the same could happen to Hussein.  Remember how popular the first George Bush was after the Gulf War.  That did not last.  Winston Churchill was not reelected after winning WW2.  And believe me, Obama is no Churchill.  Obama, in spite of himself, is President while Bin Laden is taken out.  I think the impact might be less than many of us think.

I think it is too early to call. As you stated it could be the economy which is the deciding factor in the upcoming election. I sure hope that this will not significantly increase obamas ratings. But I am resigned to the fact that he will see a bump in his popularity polls.

I don't think it will make any difference by the time November 2012 rolls around.  And why should it?  Obama is getting a lot of credit for this capture, but more people than him deserve the real credit.  I'm thrilled he ok'd the raid, sure.  But how much guts did it take for him to say, "Yes, go in"?

I think Obama will get a short term bounce in his approval ratings. But by the time the election rolls around, most people will care mainly about jobs and the economy. You repugs better hope that either Romney or Huckabee get the nomination. Cuz if Trump or Palin get the nod, it will be game over!

Trump is a Democrap... The only nod he is going to get is the one showing him the door.

He's a Dem? How do you figure that?! Anyway, I hope you're right about him not having a chance! We're all in very big trouble if he does! Oh yeah, wait a minute, we're already in big trouble :)

Anyway, have you heard that now Trump is demanding to see Bin Laden's death certificate?

Well he's certainly donated money to prominent New York Dems from what I've read.

Trump must be Bi Polar... When the shvartza President was running for office he was a strong supporter... Why wasn't the birth certificate an issue then? This whole issue with trump seems like a ruse to cause nothing but distraction... If Bin Laden is dead all the better people should be more concerned about who will fill his shoes now that he is gone... In the world today we need to look ahead not behind.

With the exception of the term "shvartza President", I fully agree with the rest of your post. I think that Trump is just trying to garnish more attention to himself and for his pathetic show. I do agree that now we have to look forward now and be cautious on who will not fill Bin Laden's shoes.

This is not just for you, but why is it that you and others use the term, "shvartza President", and then turn around and claim that you're not racist? I don't get that! If your disdain for Obama really has nothing to do with race, then there would be absolutely no reason to use racist language!

I wish we could stay away from silly issues like releasing the photos.  That keeps this thing hyped longer which does help Obama.  I was always against pressing the birther issue and I respectfully disagree with making an issue of Obama being a Muslim.  I don't see the point of starting a debate that you cannot win.  Obama's mouthpieces can say Obama is a church goer and I am sure they have lots of witnesses who have seen him eat pork (doesn't he smoke which is prohibited by Islamic law?)

The guy has done so much damage to the security of the USA, the US economy and to Israel.  Hammer away at those themes and let the other issues sit in the background and go away.  We are on the right side of this, stick to what is indisputable.
