How will Osama's killing affect Obama's chance of re-election?

1. If the right wing has no use for this story, it will be gone in days (way to soon for 2012)

If, on the other hand, they do have a way to use this to their advantage, then they'll keep it alive.

And keep using it to their advantage.

2. I'm Not Complacent. I Remember 1992

I'm not complacent. I remember the 1992 elections. George HW Bush rode a wave of popularity after Desert Storm kicked the Iraqis out of Kuwait--then lost the 1992 election to Bill Clinton. I suspect that the guys who are manipulating the oil price hikes are working on other unpleasant surprises to bring down President Obama and the return of sane, responsible government.

4. 19 months is several lifetimes when it comes to politics.

Obama may brag about getting Osama in his campaign but I doubt that it will overshadow what's going on in November 2012.
