After the announcement that American navy SEALS had killed Osama Bin Laden, the dreaded Al-qaeda leader who was on the run for decades, it was more likely that Americans would re-elect Obama. After the successful operation that ended the life of the world most wanted man, the American president was in high spirits as it emerged that he had managed to do what what his predecessors had tried and failed.
It was a reaffirmation of Democratic party foreign policy which has always been said to be a better one to that of their Republican counterparts. With the death of Osama, Obama is likely to increase his support within the Democratic party. However, it still remains difficult to penetrate the Republican base.
However, observers say this one may help him to win some support from Republicans more so those who lost their loved ones during the numerous terrorist attacks on American citizens. They are the people who have been waiting for justice to be served but it was not so even when their man was in the white house.
Some political analysts and experts say that this will only be a short term boost. They may be right. However, it is a well known fact that Americans love security and even if this event is not talked about for long, it will resurface during the elections.
Although experts have said that the November 2012 elections are likely to be all about the economy, an area where the president has not scored highly, security cannot be ignored and it will most likely give him an edge over his rivals. This is a major score for him.
Important to note is that there is still so much time between now and November when the elections will be held. Nobody knows what can happen between now and then. Anything can change everything. At this stage, it is difficult to be certain who will win the vote. Read more about: re-elect obama
