Close to 51 percent of Black Americans in a recent BlackPlanet/NewsOne poll think that President Obama’s covert operation in which he killed Osama Bin Laden will help him get re-electe.

While polls on President Obama’s have yet to come out since Osama’s murder, many are expecting him to receive a positive spike.

But while half of the community feels this will help him get re-elected, 41 percent of respondents believe this will put the country in the direct sights of terrorists even more. Eight percent of the country believes there will be less terrorist threats.

    51% on a BlackPlanet/NewsOne poll? Factor in the standard +/-5% differential and the fact that this is a HEAVY PRO OBAMA/DEMOCRAT site and I can’t see how this is a good result!

    While growing up, the baddest hip hop DJ in my neighborhood was part of the spin masters crew. I see now he wouldn’t have shyt on you spin masters here on BP!

    Obama Gets Osama

    Hmmm….

    TRUTH IS:

    THOSE TWO FOREIGNERS NAME ARE ABOUT THE SAME ISN’T IT?

    OBAMA AND OSAMA

    THOSE FOREIGNERS DELIBERATELY BLEW THOSE TWIN TOWERS DOWN BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT PRESIDENT GEORGE W.BUSH IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE REASON OF HIM BEING A REPUBLICAN (in other words they wanted for president bill clinton to stay in the white house because he was a democratic) SO,PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON WAS SET UP FOR THE REASON OF HIM HAVING ORAL SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH MONICA LEWINSKY.

    THOSE WICKED FOREIGNERS WOULD HAVE BETTER HAD A CHANCE ON DOING WHAT THEY HAD PLANNED TO DO IF PRESIDENT GEORGE W.BUSH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE THOSE WICKED LYING FOREIGNERS WANTED TO TAKE OVER THIS AMERICAN UNITED STATES COUNTRY SO,WHAT THEY DID WAS TRICKED EVERYBODY INTO BELIEVING THAT PRESIDENT GEORGE W.BUSH WAS NOT A GOOD MAN TO HAVE BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE HE WAS A REPUBLICAN.

    THOSE WICKED LYING AND TRICKY FOREIGNERS NEEDED FOR PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON TO STAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE INSTEAD BECAUSE THEN THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A MUCH BETTER CHANCE GOING THROUGH HIM TO GET INSIDE OF THERE INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH PRESIDENT BUSH SO,THEY HAD GOTTEN MAD AND STARTED A WAR WITH US BY BLOWING UP THOSE TWIN TOWERS IN NEW YORK CITY.

    IN OTHER WORDS THEY WANTED FOR A FOREIGNER WHOM WAS A DEMOCRATIC TO BE PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE FOREIGNERS NAME IS “BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA”

    DON’T EVER BE TRICKED BY THOSE LOW DOWN AND WICKED LYING DEVILS.

    He was gonna win anyway, there hasn’t been a single potential candidate come forward that stands a chance. I don’t believe Trump plans on running, not mention, he’s a clown. He went from Republican, to Democrat, and back to Republican.

    The way white folk are dancing in the street it just might. It will be just like that scene in Blazing Saddles, where the old lady snuck in the pie through the cover of night. They’ll sneak a check next his name behind the cover of the voting booth.

    November 2012 is gonna be about the ECONOMY (unemployment numbers) . Not about negroes who are just so happy to have a black President.

    Ok, I’m going to make this really quick. I don’t believe that Osama had anything to do with 911. In fact, anyone with an ounce of critical thinking skills has known this for years. This Osama business has NOTHING to do with BHO’s re-election as he has already won. This has MORE to do with the proposed Pentagon cuts that the progressives, conservatives, and the tea baggers have chosen as their scape goats for the next election. Without all that money flowing in from the government to make weapons that will never be used, southern states will turn into the leaches they campaign against.

    I don’t know if Osama has been killed and it really is irrelevant at this point in the game. Even if was responsible for 911 (which he wasn’t), he has succeeded in toppling this country. The defense dept has doubled in size, not even counting the 3+ wars we are currently engaged in. I say three because my definition of war is when we bomb s**t. I will celebrate in the streets when the war’s end, this might just extend it more. Osama is not the boogie man, the pentagon is…

    Obama has impressed and stunned many of his naysayers who even remained silent again today. It is important for him to take this strong position with congress to get the economy moving again. He has proven his ability to multitask and make life-or-death decisions. I for one never thought I would see in my 40 years a black man given the opportunity to truly govern and be the unquestioned Commander in Chief of a world power. The GOP and the tea party will have to seriously regroup to present a worthy challenger at this point. Right before Obama took office, I opened a business and bought a house. I continue to struggle right along with everyone else. I can now report I am beginning to finally turn a small profit through all that sacrifice. I know some black people feel President Obama is too good to be true, but many of us who work in corporate America aren’t surprised at all. We have been waiting in the wings for someone like President Obama to open the door. As of today, President Obama has my vote.

    “While polls on President Obama’s have yet to come out since Osama’s murder, many are expecting him to receive a positive spike.”

    Yep. ABC News reported Obama got a 10% boost in his approval rating.

    I’m actually surprised the 51% figure is not higher.

    @blackbizman2008. Does the surprisingly low BP poll number mean that perhaps an awakening is taking place or is that perhaps too much wishful thinking on my part? Listen, in many ways, as a people, we are still the smartest people on earth. Most black folk woke up Monday morning to the same reality that they did the previous Friday morning. No job, looming foreclosure etc. etc. You have a few cheerleaders here who DESPERATELY needed news like this to make them feel good about voting him in back in 2008, and justification for voting for him again in 2012. If black people looked at shyt correctly, they would see they are WORSE off now than they were. Is that “his” fault? No! I’m not even saying don’t vote for him in 2012, but damn, if you’re going to vote for the man, then do so, put down the pom poms and hold the man accountable. Stop rejoicing in these fake azz victories and get the man to work on what he promised. No one is looking for a handout (except those NAACP negroes) but just level the playing field. I’m not even talking about for black folks, do it on behalf of poor and working class folks. But the fact is, that’s not his job. In fact he is actually doing a brilliant job. The thing is, people don’t realize is his job is flash that charm, parade around a pretty family and keep you opting for hope while the rich continue to rape and pillage the rest. One day soon though, people will start to wake up. Can’t stay asleep forever.

    _A_2point0: “Does the surprisingly low BP poll number mean that perhaps an awakening is taking place or is that perhaps too much wishful thinking on my part?”

    That sounds like a good follow up question for those who responded to the poll – both the 51% and the 49%.

    “One day soon though, people will start to wake up. Can’t stay asleep forever.”

    Yep. And I think it was BakkByPopularDemand who used the analogy that if you give children toys, they will be curious enough to open them up to see the parts inside. Time will tell.

    p.s. lol, it’s funny how we sometimes use these articles as our personal inbox. gotta love it. can’t do this too easily on HuffPo and CNN with their tens of thousands of comments.

    Yes, he will win as long as the media (white and black) focus on mcdonald’s fights, sex stories, and people using the word “nigga”

    As long as that same media doesn’t report on the number of foreclosures these past two months, the number of banks closed these past two months, the incremental taxes being levied upon all Americans, the loss of more freedoms;

    As long as that same media doesn’t tell you the repercussions of a failing currency or the consequences of another country buying US debt;

    As long as that same media focuses on gay issues and gay rights without focusing on the rights of homeowners (white, black and hispanic);

    He will win!

    Very well stated. Ive read a comment from one guy in another blog stating that Obama will be in a position to lead the black community like no one since dr. king and for us to wake up. I wondered if he was still asleep, because that is a beautiful fairytale.

    how could a man lead a people he has nothing in common with except brown skin? he hires Al Sharpton lol.

    And black folks cheering the death of bin laden as if he rammed a plane into their community.

    Black folks are abused children, they will believe and run to anyone who tells them that they love them.
