Obama plans to use political capital from Osama Killing

I knew this would happen. Barack Hussein Obama is planning to use the Osama killing to promote his agenda. He is now playing the role of national savior, which is right out of the 3rd World Liberation playbook. This role he will play will be used to silence opposition to his rule. In the debt ceiling battle, he will play the Osama card against the GOP.

“Bin Laden is the single greatest thing in his presidency so far to feed into his long game,” said a senior Democratic operative, referring to Obama’s effort to portray himself as a responsible adult surrounded by political toddlers.

[….]

In the short term, Obama has been given a boost just in time for his battle with congressional Republicans over the deficit and the debt ceiling. By defining the bin Laden raid as a chance to rekindle the bipartisan spirit present after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — as he has repeatedly since Sunday night — he is practically daring the GOP to shatter the new era of good feeling during this week’s tough negotiations over the deficit.

At a bipartisan dinner Monday night at the White House, Obama made the case for comity, the bedrock of his reelection pitch to independents in 2012.

“Obviously we’ve all had disagreements and differences in the past. I suspect we’ll have them again in the future,” he said after a day of rapid-fire disclosures about the bloody firefight at bin Laden’s compound 35 miles north of Islamabad.

“But last night, as Americans learned that the United States had carried out an operation that resulted in the capture and death of Osama bin Laden, we” — and here he was interrupted by applause — “you know, I think we experienced the same sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. We were reminded again that there is a pride in what this nation stands for, and what we can achieve, that runs far deeper than party, far deeper than politics.”

The Republican leadership is already afraid of Obama, imagine now with the Bin Laden killing. Boehner and his Eunuchs need to grow a pair and take Obama on. He is counting on the role of national savior for his 2012 election. Obama should not be allowed to play this role.
