On InTrade -- the prediction market site where people bet on various outcomes -- the odds Obama is re-elected exploded higher last night after the news of Osama Bin Laden's capture and death.
Check it out.
And this is the point where serious political analysts say things like: Well, it's a long way until the election and that it's ultimately the economy that will decide things.
And there's probably some validity to that. But obviously this was a huge moment for the President, and the contrast he can draw -- working on this plan for months -- compared to the other candidates is pretty sharp.

“Osama’s gonna pay my mortgage”- Peggey Al Joseph
Better now than a year from now!
Thank you for expanding on my original, but somewhat sad, sentiment in my original comment.
Lots of folks won’t like it but it is what it is.
How many times are folks going to have to fill their gas tanks between now and Nov 2012?
Each time is sure gonna cement their love for the faux messiah.
It would be a bizarre outcome if the execution of Usama bin Laden were to result in enabling Barack Obama to remain in office four additional years, time that he could devote to completing the radical transformation of the U.S.A.
But guess what? Trump will not go away.
Yeah, DJIA up only about 10 points mid-day as I write this.
Could it be....investors are worried now that BadCrock O'Vomit will be re-elected...and they DON'T like it
.
Wait until the dust settles from terrorist retribution attacks, before making any 2012 predictions.
OK, so the question has to be asked,
and I’m sure leftist heads will explode,
and maybe a few FReepers’ heads as well -
Did Osama bin Ladin do more damage to this country
than BH Obama’s policies have and will?
Even considering the lives lost - that will be neglible by a couple of orders of magnitude compared to the lives lost to the death panels under 0bamacare.
May I ask you why you feel this way? Also, if you don't mind, do you at least think that Trump has shown the pussy Republicans how to not be afraid of Obama and tackle him head on with confidence?
Action > reaction
Futures were up big last night on the OBL announce and precious metals silver/gold DUMPED, especially silver. Silver, of course, having been parabolic, needed little or no reason to poop, and, truth be known, this correction is NOTHING in the schizophrenic history of silver. I am quite impressed, actually. Course, the correction may not be over. I personally believe that silver needs a lot of time in what I call “rehab” here and has to prove, over time, that it can maintain these levels. Bulls can’t do it, bears can’t do it, only TIME can do it.
Anyway, investors/traders/evil speculators/worldwide weasels wondered “hmmm, this should be good for the dollar = bad for PMs, good for America, but wait, it’s the weaker dollar that’s been goosing the stock market.”
So now, dollar resumes its southward journey, metals come back quite a bit but stocks NOT!
What’s a mother to do?
So the fact that Obama wants to kill us with Obamacare and take away our freedoms in favor of communism no longer matters because of a useless feckless washed up Osama?
This reminds me of the joke about how an officer builds a bridge, first he finds a sargent...
we don’t KNOW Obama did this.
I bet they have known for a while and were rehearsing for some time. The military did not want another “carter rescue fiasco”
9/11 was a flesh wound.
Obama’s policies are poison.
Al Qaeda has clearly done less harm to America in the last ten years than has the investment banking industry and its bipartisan cronies in DC.
Bin Laden was a beloved one within Islam because he represented rebellion against "the Great Satan". That's why it took ten years to kill the vermin, islamofacists protected him with their lives. I look for gas prices to actually rise because of Obama's opportunist blustering over bin Ladin's death, he's begging the islamonuts for reprisal attacks of all kinds.
Is this what now passes for analysis on FR?
Jeez.
People don't wait for the media to tell them how much stuff costs. They get reminded of it everytime they go to the store or put gas in the the tank.
OBL won’t be remembered after Osama Obama kills the economy.
