So we got these tapes that show Osama bin Laden in his last days and they’re kinda revealing. Apparently he dyes his beard and likes to spend a lot of time watching his appearances in the news. I wonder if in the end that was the real reason for him masterminding terrorism: He’s vain and likes to see himself on TV. So the next one to watch for being a terrorist mastermind: John Edwards.

So the left has decided the word for Obama’s is “gutsy.” That’s kind of weird since he made a call that most Americans would have made, so what’s gutsy about it? If you told a regular American, “So, do you want to get Osama or not get Osama?” they would think that’s a trick question. But for Obama, going with the obvious answer was gutsy.

I guess it’s like how we have a really big dog, but she’s very friendly. The normal response when she comes up to you is to pet her. But if someone were really afraid of dogs, it would be gutsy for that person to pet my dog while it’s a non-issue for most. So maybe that’s how getting Osama is gutsy for Obama; Obama is so used to doing insubstantial things, so that was personally very gutsy for him.

And now the press is starting to think, “Now that Obama has made this ‘gutsy’ call, who knows what he can do next!” It’s like they’re back into their mindset from the 2008 campaign having all these wild-eyed fantasies about Obama being marginally competent, when really if Obama doesn’t self-implode on domestic issues, that will be very impressive for him. Of course, getting expectation too high could really hurt Obama’s chances in 2012; what the press needs to do for him is sell that 8% unemployment would be really impressive. And then Obama needs to achieve 8% unemployment.

So, anyway, Obama will get a little bit of a bounce and deservedly so for taking out Osama, but I wouldn’t expect too much of it. It’s like if that kid who is in outfield and can never catch the ball catches it one time — you can cheer him on but it’s not like his next stop is the pros.
