The Day America Got Their Man
Never in recent years has there been so much joy and celebration over the death of one man. The reality may be that Osama Bin Laden not longer makes the main decisions regarding the terrorism against the western world, but there is no doubt the perception of this man and what he stood for affected the lives of millions around the world either directly or indirectly. President Obama made is a priority to get the man after his predecessor George Bush, decided that one man was not important enough, the result is 2 years into administration he got his man and the relief of America. that it was “USA forces” that took him out , was demonstrated with celebrations on the street. Even the Republicans offered praise, sealing the respect from even the most critical of opponents.
From a political point of view, President Obama’s popularity has soared after some had thought he had no backbone, now they have been proved wrong when decisions that mark his Presidency could have gone so wrong. This during a week where he had to prove he had been born in America, by providing his birth certificate, this type of conflict could only happen in America, where personal opinion is often more important than the work that is done for the voter. After celebration comes criticism when the stories of what actually happened when the forces went on to get him changed, although now as much change as the media has made out, as they altered some of the speech.
