Earlier tonight, President Barack Obama was interviewed about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden for the full hour on "60 Minutes". It must be difficult for die-hard Republicans to see the new and improved hawkish Obama. I watched "60 Minutes" tonight solely to see what the President had to say about the mission. While I expected him to slip-up and say something either stupid or arrogant, he did not. In fact, after watching the President for almost an hour on TV tonight - he seemed more presidential then at any time during his short time in office.
Just image the difference if this raid in Pakistan went wrong and Osama bin Laden was not even in that compound? Rather than riding a wave of American support, President Obama would be criticized from every direction especially from his liberal base. Instead, the raid was a complete success ending with the death of the most wanted terrorist in the world. While killing Osama bin Laden will not help President Obama with liberals, it most certainly is helping him with moderate voters who he will need once again in order to get reelected in 2012. The President did a good job on "60 Minutes" tonight.
