Here’s a note for the Obama administration, or any administration that follows: If you are going to release a story as huge as the killing of the most wanted terrorist in the world, you might want to consider having your story straight before you go to press.  It’s been three days now since Osama had-bin Laden was killed and at the end of the day, the fact remains that this murdering Islamic POS is lobster food.  But exactly how he became food for the bottom-dwellers of the ocean has become less clear.  The administration’s story has changed: at first he resisted with fire fight, now we are told he was unarmed; at first he used his wife as a shield, now we are told that the woman wasn’t his wife; at first we were told that the woman was killed, now we are told that she was shot but not killed. Then we were told that OBL was virtually throwing women at the Navy Seals during the firefight.  If there was one thing that could kill Obama’s mojo coming off of this event, it is uncertainty over which story of the raid is correct and what actually happened.  Not that I am all that concerned with Obama’s mojo … but we are still coming to find how Bin Laden’s death will affect PrezBo in the polls.  According to Politico:

President Obama's approval rating has jumped to 56 percent, a 9-point increase, in the days after he announced Osama bin Laden had been killed, according to a Washington Post/Pew Research Center poll.

On his handling of Afghanistan, 60 percent of people said they approved; the number was a career high of 69 percent for the threat of terrorism. His numbers on the economy, though, have barely changed.

Gallup polling wanted to find out who the America public views as being responsible for the killing of Osama bin Laden.  In other words … who deserves the credit for killing the Islamic menace.

When Americans are asked how much credit they would give to Barack Obama, George W. Bush, the CIA, and the U.S. military for finding and killing bin Laden, the U.S. military and the CIA emerge as the big winners in the public's eyes. Nearly 9 of 10 (89%) say the military deserves "a great deal of credit," while 62% say the same about the CIA.

Americans are more reserved in giving credit to President Obama. Thirty-five percent say he deserves a great deal of credit and another 36% say he deserves "a moderate amount" of credit. More than a quarter say he does not deserve much or any credit at all.

You can bet that the ObamaMedia will milk this like story as if it had 80,000 teats.  News reports like this one from Lawrence O'Donnell: "Thank God Barack Obama is president."  But no matter how long the ObamaMedia tries to draw it out, the voters in 2012 will be voting with their pocketbooks … and the death of Osama bin Laden has done nothing to generate economic prosperity or to lower gas prices.
