President Obama began as a trial lawyer. My father was also a trial lawyer as is my sister. If there's one thing a lawyer who tries cases can do it's speak and speak well! It's their stock in trade. President Obama has, undoubtably, had plenty of experience speaking off the cuff, and he can, without doubt, do it better than most people. He does not need a teleprompter.
Bin Laden's unhappy demise means Obama can scale back military operations without looking weak. That will save lives.

I composed this in the fall of 2001. This will, probably be the last time I write it.

                   OSAMA BIN LADEN
             (With Appologies to Leigh Hunt)

Osama Bin Laden, may his tribe decrease,
Came home one night from disturbing the peace.
And in his cave was amazed to see
An angel writing on a gold PC.
Wow! said Osama, looking awed,
Are you listing the names of those who love God.
Nope, said the angel, this database
lists everyone who spits in God's face.
Great! said Osama, list away.
But you'll have to list the whole U.S.A.
With their Baywatch babes and their rock and roll.
Theirs is a nation without any soul.
Said the angel, Osama take a hint
Conisder as I save and print,
The things you do in Allah's name.
Osama was never quite the same,
For on that printout, as I know you guessed,
Lo! Bin Laden's name lead all the rest.

(Though the "Reverend" Fred Phelps ran a close second.)
