Oh, That Osama Bin Laden Bounce

I will be the first to admit surprise at the bounce President Obama has gotten from the Navy SEAL mission to take out Osama bin Laden. With the exception of the usually Republican-partial polls, more mainstream polls give him healthy approval ratings of between 56 and 60 percent.

In case you're wondering, Obama is 8 points ahead of the Gipper at this point in his first term and tied with Nixon and Clinton.
