So you think it would have been more effective if he did it the day before elections? The killing of Osama takes the terrorism discourse that has occupied the minds of the Americans since 2001 to another level and Obama is responsible for that, he is the hero. He is the one who fought and won against terrorism and knowing American media and his smart PR team..that is the message that will be peddled for the next 10 years.
President Obama's rating are low but who's ratings are up? Trump or Palin? Do you seriously see them as the next presidents? Matt Romney is the best candidate from the republicans side but he pa**ed the same health care bill that has made President Obama unpopular at home so how is he going to justify being any "better"?
True the American media is hardly neutral and objective on any issue but its well known that when it comes to President Obama they are very divided. I was not surprised that Fox News screwed up when reporting OBL's death:
