In the days since relaying the news that US forces had killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, President Obama has kept a low profile, allowing others to own the microphone and explain the operation to an eager public. That comes to an abrupt end on Thursday, when Mr. Obama will take center stage in New York, at one scene of the 9/11 attacks – a subtle made-for-TV opportunity to take credit for the demise of the man most Americans considered to be Public Enemy No. 1. Two days later, "60 Minutes" will air a pretaped interview with the commander in chief about the bin Laden operation.
“It’s a victory lap,” says Larry Sabato, a political analyst at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. “But that’s OK: He’s earned this one.”
