Obama’s unsuspected strength

Published on September 13, 2011, 12:17 p.m.

Sixty-two percent of Americans — including nearly six in 10 independents and almost four in 10 Republicans — approve of President Obama’s handling of terrorism.

1. Given that he got bin Laden many years after Bush said

"I really don't think that much about him," no surprise. Obama has provided a natural closure to the Afghanistan occupation, which I wish he would take advantage of.

2. One never knows, which is why I pay no attention to early polling,

3. Well after all he did get bin Laden.

And Junior went a full 7 years and couldn't get the job done.

6. I would. The paradoxes abound...

The same people that will defend ANYTHING he does, recoil at getting a pat down at an airport.

I think the wars were/are a farce, but he is trying to end them. Not fast enough for me. And the kicker in this is the biggest, probably most will be remembered moment, his taking OBL out....he gets shit...from his supporters.

7. Of this I was certain

I never had a moment's doubt that he would find OBL and pull the trigger when he did. It took a bit longer than I expected.
