A new 9/11 would not strengthen Obama as it strengthened Bush. It would destroy him, because he boasted of eliminating bin Laden whereas Bush merely claimed his country to be the victim of an atrocity. If the Obama administration ends with an overwhelming display of failure and humiliation by terrorists despite all his administration's efforts, it would break him as a President as a man. It would go from 60% of people saying Obama should go, to 100% saying Obama should go.
