ABC Says Osama Bin Ladin's Death Will be a Political Boost for Obama

I asked the question a few minutes ago. Did Obama time the release of Osama Bin Ladin's death at the start of the weekly news cycle to get the most play? It didn't take long after the announcement of Bin Ladin's death for George Stephenoupoulus to being talking about a political boost for Barack Obama with this news. Seems a little irreverent for the Americans who died at the hands of this man, but what else would you expect from the mainstream media who will be going into full gear to ensure Obama gets elected.

Knowing Obama, you had to expect that the announcement was timed for maximum benefit. After all, Osama Bin Ladin has been dead for about a week.
