Why would anyones opinion of a politician change because the CIA and Navy Seals killed a terrorist? People are laying Obama praise on thick. He gave them permission to kill the guy, because they were required to ask. End of story, and end of accolades. This has nothing to do with D's or R's, Present or past Presidents. Any of us could of done what Obama did. "Yeah, kill him". I would feel exactly the same if any President was in office during this operation.
Bizarre post. Not everyone in those "extremely red" states shares the same opinion of Obama to begin with. And "extremely red" is a misnomer. There is no such thing. The partisan issue is better examined from a county-level perspective, and when such an examination happens, the glaring rule is that rural areas tend to vote more conservatively, and urban areas tend to vote more progressively. This is especially true of national elections. Many of those so-called "red" states have had very healthy Democratic parties, and have had Democratic delegations to Congress for decades.
Many of these people consider my state, Kansas, to be southern and I can promise you that other than some governors and some local people Democrats never win elections in Kansas. I keep telling people that it all stems from the Civil War days and the way slavers tried to force slavery on the territory and too many of Henry Ward Beecher's people were here. Some could learn a lot about that time by reading up on what were known as Beecher's Bibles back then. Boxes and boxes of Bibles seemed to be coming from Ohio, Beecher's home state and turning out to have repeating rifles in them. Maybe some could understand about the massacres that took place in rural areas in the state and even a much larger one by slavers in the city of Lawrence where they attempted to kill all the men. This was because only men could vote back then.
We are a very red state and Obama will never get inside the place because he knows that he won't get any of our whopping 6 electoral votes. He may get some wins in cities where unions are strong but not the whole rural state.

Sounds like somebody didnt listen to the news and instead received news updates on twitter. Umm, Obama manufactured the whole strategy to get Obama. So it wasnt just a simple ok.
It's not just the deep south, the radical right nationwide still unbelievably (or not) hate Obama and are continuing to bash him even after this massive victory for america and humanity. These people will never approve of anything someone without an (R) next to their name does, let alone a black man.

Wait! You say: "Obama manufactured the whole strategy to get Obama." You think he's a danger to himself?
All of a sudden Obama is a cowboy-maybe he secretly wishes he would like to be like Bush.
If Bush or Cheney had done this all the lefties would be running around saying "Where's the proof, where's the proof, what an inhumane and vile man." Again, the hypocricy of the left and left-wing media.
Believe me, we do know what you mean and we also know that the premise of the OP is nonsense.

......The red areas, the tea party areas, you know the places shown on youtube where people saying racist things about Obama? Yeah those places, I wonder if their opinion has changed
What ever possessed you to tie OBL's death with a dislike of Obama's handling of his office by "red" voters and the TP'ers?
Just a question to the OP, ARE YOU DENSE? Obama should only recieve 25% credit. Without bush this never would of happened, and I hope this changes no ones opinion of him. I don't see him of any a better person, just someone who called a hit. Bush is the one who originally put this plan into action. I really hope he is not elected again because that could truly be the end of this country. Also those "red states" are the only thing in this country that is sane any more. Some of the best political minds come out of the south, like haley barbour.
