Yes of course there is and will be an upswing in Obama's poll numbers for a while.
However,with the election 18 months away,the issues will be jobs,the economy inflation and gas prices.
As someone commented this was not a foreign policy decision that reflected upon him.In fact as the WSJ headline today indicates it was a "roll of the dice" that worked out well.If he gets Khadaffi,then it might have more sustaining qualities.
The blogs are commenting,correctly,that the GOP potential candidates have no foreign policy history-except for Huntsman.
Sadly Israel quickly gsve in on withoding the PA tax money.Tomorrow they sign this deal.Hamas has attacked the Obama attack on ubl,while the PA has supported it.
We shall se how long the unity lasts.
What a great victory for PM Harper and the Conservatives in Canada.Their goal of decreased taxes and capitalism hopefully will send a signal to our electorate.
One point made over and over again with great significance for Israel-Targeted Killings in the name of wiping out Terrorism has been endorsed by Obama.
Will the Pres. publicly admit that waterboarding was the real weapon that helped break the riddle of where is UBL?

OBL gets his desserts
Of course it is a great day for the US,and for Pres. Obama.One cannot say enough in praise for the men who planned und undertook this mission.
None of this changes the Obama thesis that avoids placing the blame on Islamic fundamentalism as the uniting factor in world-wide terrorism.He and his team talk of criminal activities,and fail to identify the terrorists as such.
No wonder that Hamas condemned the raid and the killing.
It is interesting that the recent Pew poll showed OBL's popularity really ecreasing in the muslim world.For example in Lebanon he had only a 1% favoribility rate.Only among the Palestinians was he admired by 28% while 68% support Al- Quada.
I believe the decision to bury him at sea was wise.This in effect prevented making his burial site a holy site.
I hope someone wrapped him in pigskin-a worthy send-off.

The President's speech / Hamas and the PA / Dr. Richard Stone
President Obama has great comedy and speech writers and therefore it is not suprising that he was in good form at the White House dinner.Too bad he doesn't have similar caliber advice on how to run our country.
The unemployment rate,inflation, rising gas prices and the general mood of the country,in addition to a foreign policy that speaks to our loss of leadership brings a sense of sadness to those who love our country.
The announcement that Israel will not forward tax revenues to the PA is a step in the right direction.The next step is for the US to place a hold on all aid to them since it will be going to Hamas.Money is fungible,and Hamas is still a terror group.
The added announcement that Egypt will develop relationships with Iran shows the effects of the Obama policy that quickly dumped Mubarek without thinking through the next step.
Now we have Libya in limbo.and despite massive attacks against civilians the State Dept.,makes believe it is not Assad who is guilty but his underlings.It is true we have no idea how a post-Assad Syria would look like,it could not be worse than the Iran-Hamas-Hezbollah-Syria axis.One of the reasons given for the agreement between Hamas and the PA is the fact that that Hamas may not have a home in a future post-Assad Damascus.
Congratulations to my old friend and colleague Dr. Richard Stone who was elected to be the next Chairman of the President's Conference.A Professor at Columbia Law School,he heads the Soviet Jewry Organiztion.During my tenure at the OU, I appointed him to head the IPA.
