It appears his handlers have decided for the moment, that the killing of Osama bin Laden will be the focal point. It is clear that the President intends to use the death of bin Laden to gain voters. He wants to be known as 'the man who got bin Laden.' Such shameless self-aggrandizement is not only wrong but highlights yet again the infamous Obama arrogance. Having few trick plays in the playbook why not? Will it work? Probably not, with the election 18 months away this event will become a distant memory. Obama's approach was wrong because the ones who actually 'got bin Laden' are so we have been told the Navy Seals, CIA operatives, Defense Secretary Gates, General Patraeus, and others who had been working in this case ever since the 9/11 attacks. The Administration of George W. Bush deserves much of the credit due to the fact that the groundwork for catching bin Laden was laid during the Bush years. Had it not been for that groundwork, then the mission to get bin Laden would not have been successful. Obama deserves credit only because he happened to be President when the ground forces and intelligence personnel continued doing what they had always done, this time getting lucky enough to find the man who had eluded the entire free world for 10 years. Numerous reports from inside the White House also indicate that Obama was very hesitant about giving the order to kill bin Laden, and that it was actually CIA Director Leon Panetta who forced the President's hand. Yet, almost as soon as the deed was done, Obama embarked on his 'look at me tour' to call attention to himself as the one who was singularly responsible for this victory. This is entirely in keeping with Obama's tendency to seek the spotlight, engage in credit-grabbing each time something good happens that has nothing to do with him, and inadvertently advertising his now-famous arrogance. This is absolutely why this strategy will fail. His expected massive bump in the polls did not occur. He only picked up a few points, less than five. At this point in George Herbert Walker Bush's Presidency, polls gave Bush the Elder a whopping 90% approval on the strength of his victory in the first Gulf War. But in less than a year that 90% approval had eroded down to the 40s due to a weak economy. The economy will be Obama's waterloo. People vote with their wallets. Voters even those who voted for Mr. Obama had little clue his policy would make out economy completely tank and that he would be view as a weak individual not just at home but the world over. The economy now is much worse than it was in 1992. The most generous of the polls give Obama a 52% approval rating, and this right after bin Laden's death. That is not much to brag about when the economy of 2011 continues to teeter on the edge of complete collapse due to the runaway government spending and no coherent fiscal policy of this administration. Obama will not be able to overcome such economic realities, no matter how much he wants us to believe he was the man, responsible for 'getting bin Laden.' This is what voters will remember on November 6, 2012.
