obama Political boost

I suppose if the election were held yesterday or today, Obama would have been a tougher foe to beat because of the bin Laden affair and the truth is, he seems to have handled the war effort better than Rumsfeld and Cheney and Bush did. Still, one has to get over decision making over emotional incidents and look at the whole of a candidates policies. The economy sucks, we are still at war and on three fronts, and if we don't get this country back on course soon, it won't matter who is president because we won't exist as we do now.
