They said on CNN that it is Obama trying to inform everyone of importance before the presser.

I suppose this kicks off re-election 2012....Personally I suspect we've had Bin Laden for years. Figured he was already dead and we weren't going to make him a martyr, but we'll see what the statements are.

Most likely having his speech written so he doesn't sound like a tool.

Coincidence that this was announced during the last 15 minutes of The Apprentice?

Are you fucking high?

How in the hell is this a win for the Republican party?

Did this happen under a Republican President?

No....it happened under the Obama Admin

This clinches a second term for Obama...period

But it's over for any republican now

Because obviously Obama brought him in himself. But the BBC repeats what you are saying, they've mentioned Obama more times than Americans in the 3 minutes its been reported.

Oh, I don't know. I imagine the Dems will say they were the ones who righted the course and got the job done.

Now what IS a victory for Bush and the Repubs is the movement for democracy sweeping the Middle East. Myself and others have said you can't really judge Bush's legacy until maybe 20 years after the fact, but the "Beacon of Democracy" plan can be argued to be working. To be fair, Bush hardly deserves credit for that policy as it was literally crafted over decades across administrations. And I'm not sure with that scenario playing out in a different Administration if the action would have been any different (results, possibly, given execution was quite poor). Certainly Clinton in that scenario probably would have followed a similar course.
