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.
