Is Osama's death going to make Obama popular?

As a candidate, during the 2008 election campaign Obama repeatedly vowed: "We will kill Osama bin Laden." And so it proved.

The fact it was one of his main promises in 2008 and he has actually done it, well not him but he is Cheif Commander of the US Army so he gets some credit too, means YES he will be more popular.

Can't believe his actually dead. NEVER thought they would catch him.

Yes. This is a huge victory for Obama, and it's pretty much guaranteed him another year in office

Except Romney. Of course, Romney may not get the nomination because the Christianists dissaprove of his religion.

Of course it will. He did something Bush couldn't. Kill Osama, apparantly.

All Bush could do was set up all the policies responsible for catching Bin Laden so Obama could step in and take credit. The interrogation techniques that Obama campaigned against were largely responsible for tracking down bin laden. So this isn't the winning moment it seems. If anything it redeems his predecessor

People aren't gonna see it that way. Obama's gotten rid of the enemy, it was in his time, therefore he's the hero.

Well.. it wasn't an airstrike.
But i agree with the concept ;D

*Walk on like a bad ass*
*List all the bad things he has done and caused*
*Oh btw.. we got him *
*Walk off like a bad ass*

Another year? Elections are in 2012, he has an extra year in office no matter what, unless he is impeached and removed from office

I think you'd be surprised, especially after that appalling speech he gave, where he pretended to be CEO of the operation. It was consistent with his view that everything is about him. He used the word "I" seven times and five times and five times he referred to the directing he did of the operation, yet he hardly mentioned the soldiers who carried out the mission. I'm sick of this man's ego.

When Bush delivered his speech after saddam hussien's capture, it was 4 times shorter, he only used the word "I" three times. Once to thank the soldiers, once to congratulate them, and once to warn of future terrorism.

Are you a republican?

I've been hearing chitchat that he was unlikely to be elected for a second term because some Americans don't agree with his reforms. Do we reckon that this killing of the elusive al-Qaeda leader will make him more popular with the American public?
Opinions?

NB: I nearly cried during his speech. What a beautiful man
