America made one of the best terror strike operation to eliminate Osama. Do you feel this operation will make US Prez Obama more popular than ever.

Obama's popularity will go up after the elimintion of UBL..and Obama definitely deserves credit. However, he has made many mistakes and the economy seems to be the biggest issue with people. He needs to find a way to improve the job situation or he could be one term President.

Well I think his popularity has increased but by how much, that i don't know. Because of not showing pics, a lot of people are believing conspiracy theories that is why they released some osama videos.

Well for the moment it has. Obviously a success to this magnitude is going to really speak to Joe Average American voter, who is not spending all of their time on the Internet or watching the news too closely, mining for conspiracies of what really happened. Now granted, Barack Obama has a lot of momentum on his side from this great success. It is something that he has his fingertips on and he would obviously have a bit more support than he did a couple of weeks ago.
The life of a politician however is extremely fickle. As quickly as Obama had gained this success, he could make another blunder that could cost him whatever favor that he had built up. People tend to be rather short sighted when it all boils down to everything. There tends to be a lot of, "what have you done for me lately" with the average person and the President is going to be held to a higher level, every action being analyzed. For right now, he's in the good books of many people but next month or the month after that, who knows.

I think USA President Barak Obama's popularity has increased after operation Osama bin Laden but I am not sure how long it will persist.

I actually do believe that this will favor him in his popularity to the U.S. public. Although I am more in favor in Obama in general, I voted for him (though think both candidates were not that great) but he is one of the worst starting presidents in America. The reason Clinton was regarded as a good president was because nothing happened at that time we were in one of the best states after turmoil in the past. Obama started off with the war in Iraq, and soon after the oil spill which was difficult, not to mention not a lot of people know or understand what a president really is or does. The president does not have as much power as people think, all the president is, is a figure head for U.S. government and all he actually does or is able to do is approve or Vito things. There is some others but not the great power people think, but he is given a bad rap due to the start of his presidency and things are so bad it is gonna take more than four years to fix, but this definitely gives him favor to the public and more appealing in his campaign, not to mention bush must be pissed lol (find enjoyment in that, and fact he was first person called).
