The OBL raid could very easily have Barack Obama's Desert One. Does anyone doubt for a moment that this Republican-controlled House would fail to reap that whirlwind? I mean, look how fulsome their praise has been for this accomplishment. No, really.
I believe that the actual death of OBL was a psychologically important event for a lot of registered voters. I have to question the guy who came up with the concept for the billboard-- trying to take an Obama victory and twist it into a call for his defeat seems a little weird and counter-intuitive to me. Plus, as a vet I am a little pissed off about the use of images of soldiers in uniform and combat gear being used for crass political purposes-- to help elect a guy who has studiously avoided wearing any of this country's uniforms. (The Magic Underwear doesn't count.)
