The Obama administration recently started taking a lot of heat as many GOP members contemplated the legitimacy of the current White House as we look to the 2012 primaries this coming summer. Donald Trump, then a potential republican candidate, made stark remarks against the Obama administration, demanding proof of Obama's real birth certificate.
As the president has been in office for over three years, he has been scrutinized for his lack of delivery in relation to his presidential campaign initiatives, as most presidents are at this point in the term. But after weeks of media fire from the republican party regarding legitimacy, the president announced one of the most pertinent cornerstones of his four years in office.
After the news of Osama bin Laden's death spread through social mediums like Facebook and Twitter (garnering a reach of 52,214+), I had to wonder if this event just happened, or if it was a governmental public relations strategy.
To me, it seems awfully coincidental that after a media storm that spread across a few weeks, that Obama presented his opposition, the media and the general public with a slam-bam, thank you ma'am that stunned and silenced global audiences and critics.
Though U.S. intelligence reports can not be conveyed to the general public for obvious security reasons, I do think it is was interesting timing. And looking to the situation from my pr-scope, I have to wonder if it was just good timing, or if it was planned to give Obama and his next campaign an edge as politicians embark on the primaries in the next few months.
