I'm sorry but the American people's attention span just isn't that long. If Obama intended to use the take down of bin Laden as a springboard to re-election, he completely blew it. Bin Laden is going to be very old news, come election time.
O is not planning to use killing OBL to get reelected. He is going to use the resulting conspiracy theories to portray the GOP as a bunch of loons. He will use folks like Trump to divide the conservative vote in the primaries. In short going to play the GOP ruthlessly to win reelection
