If his plan is to go back to the OBL well for a ratings boost- you gotta wonder if he's even sane. I could see him trying it in October of next year, but dude...how long does he think he can drag OBL around like Weekend at Bernie's?

Nah I wonder if he is done and can stick a fork in his presidency??

I wonder if he can dig up that old "Mission Accomplished" banner?

It's not that Obama is taking the bows for the event, or that the movie will overplay them just before the election, but I hope Congressman King can interview our security people and find out who has been milked for Pentagon, CIA and SEAL operational information that can get people killed.

I'm sure it's being displayed in private meetings with his spiritual advisor, Reverend Wright, and his pal Bill Ayers.

Hey when a president has a 39% approval rating and Dr West and Tavis Smiley are on his case for ignoring the black conmmunity, he will grasp at anything to improve his approval rating...plus his advisers have been bailing out on him.....

[henryclay]

Aw, now, PI. Don't you know yet? It's all the Tea Party's fault.

Why should he worry about the blacks? They generally don't vote.

Funny you should mention the Tea Party ...they just sent me a request to contribute to the Northern Ca chapter of the Tea Party ..

I will let you wealthy conservatives contribute to the Tea Party,.... Henry, and not poor old jarheads like me...

Gee PI, tomorrow, I am loading up the car and dropping a few cases of food at the food pantry, which is almost out of food. St V is here too. Hopefully, I can sneak in and out unnoticed.

..... ha...ha, He's obviously reaching Paul. They can scrap the movie, we don't want to pay money to see, " The demise of the most wanted terrorist". It's over now, and and the saying is "you're only as good as your last act" and Obama's last act was creating an atmosphere for a downgrade in our rating with his ineffectiveness.

[henryclay]

True enough, diamond. True enough. And if that was the last curtain to fall it's be a no brainer. But he has given the least responsible people on earth access to our inner workings, and they have cameras, recorders and microphones, , , , ,

, , , , and they talk to anybody who will buy them a drink.

I wonder if they approached him or if he approached them about getting the movie made, because somehow, even before the first set was built they scheduled the movie to be released three weeks before the election.

Henry: I'm sure he's using anything in his favor to boost his approval ratings before the next election. However, I feel he's going to find it difficult to enumerate that many. The negatives truly outweigh the positives .

He's only ineffective to the extent you are clinging to the hope that he's not actually being effective.

2008 wasn't generally.

www.nytimes.com/2009/07/21/us/politics/21vote.html

But with Barack Obama on the ballot, the makeup of the 131 million who voted last year was markedly different. While the number of non-Hispanic white voters remained roughly the same, 2 million more blacks, 2 million more Latinos and 600,000 more Asians turned out. Compared with 2004, the voting rate for black, Asian and Hispanic voters increased by about four percentage points. The rate for whites declined by one percentage point.

Thom File, a voting analyst with the Census Bureau, said the turnout among blacks ages 18 to 24 increased 8 percent from 2004, to 55 percent. That helped drive the overall turnout in that group to 49 percent, still lower than among older eligible voters.

Among voters 18 to 24 and 25 to 44, blacks voted at a higher rate than whites in 2008.

As for the movie - I'm sure there is political motive there. Every step that Obama takes and every word that he speaks in his life is with political motive, and usually divisive with those motives.

But, I did see an interesting Seals 6 show on the history channel the other day. It too covered the Osama raid. Needless to say, it didn't make me want to vote for Obama next year.
