Well this is scary. I see that the President is about to address the nation at 10:30 PM. I can't recall such short notice, much less such a late hour, for a presidential address to the nation. I pray that whatever news he has to share with us is not too bad and that everything is under control.

Yeah, this scares me--and in a non-political way.  Sunday night at 10:30pm?  That's scary.  Got a mini 9/11 stomach feeling going on (and I live in Brooklyn, so...)

Okay, with 10 minutes to go, my mind is racing. I hope it's NOT about us launching war against Syria or about someone dying (such as Joe Biden). I hope it's not about an imminent terror threat.

Is it too much to hope it's good news about Osama? Just praying and trying not to be so worried.

Paris, I'm with you. I live in DC and my 3-year-old is traveling with her grandparents right now. So of course my mind is just racing ....

Mollie, thanks for the heads up on this.  On the way inside to find a television now...

Instead of listening to Obama, I will wait for Ricochet updates.

Twitter is aflutter that it's related to Osama. I pray so!

10:33--is that good or bad.  By the way, I doubt it's Osama--that could be announced earlier or tomorrow; it's obviously something big.

Osama Bin Laden is dead.  Can we now disband the TSA?

Bin Laden gone arguably hurts Obama politically in 2012 since it further shifts the election to domestic matters; yes, it happened on his watch, but since the American military got him, I'm not sure how much Obama gains from that.

Larry Sabato, on the NRO blog, is saying that this will be a huge lift for Obama now and in 2012.  Let's hope that he is wrong.

If Larry Sabato says something, count on the opposite happening.

Er, don't you mean raisins?

Or perhaps Osama's welcome into the afterlife is why all those goats in Uganda went missing.

Who would even WANT 72 virgins? SO MUCH WORK involved in that...
