generally any military victory = re-election, and this is the ONLY thing that US has 'done right' in this conflict (and yeah, took 10 years etc)-- US citizens tend to gloss over the bad for the good, and military matters have always trumped all else-
I don't live in the US, but if history continues, Obama will be re-elected...
whole thing's stupid anyway. Not only is Bin Laden now a martyr (making him way more important than a living leader who had to be in hiding all the time, and probably had little to do with shit anymore), but it seems like too little too late really- Its nice that the US can have a little fist-pump over this, but it doesn't mean anything... |
History also says no president has ever been re-elected with the unemployment rate over 8%. And we've had way more than that for the entirety of Obama's presidency, and that won't change any time soon.
True, this is a good military victory, but the other side of that coin is that 60% of military deaths in Afghanistan have come while Obama has been president. And the intel that made getting Bin Laden possible came from information obtained starting 4 years ago using the interrogation methods Obama railed against from prisoners at Guantanamo, which he wanted to shut down. So I wouldn't count on Bin Laden's death being enough for re-election. It is awesome though... and I'm glad Obama green-lit the thing. For real, I watched him speak today for the first time ever without wanting to jam an icepick into my brain.
