Does Obama Squander Political Capital by Not Releasing Bin Laden Footage? (ContributorNetwork)

ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | The news involving the capture and death of Osama bin Laden, America's most wanted terrorist, is welcome. President Barack Obama's waning approval numbers received a healthy shot in the arm. The New York Times reports the jump was as high as 11 points, propelling him from 46 percent to 57 percent. A similar war victory -- the capture of Saddam Hussein under President George W. Bush -- netted the latter an 8 percent jump.
