I know you meant this as humor, but Obama is way too smart to lean on it heavily.  For example, he knew right before his State of the Union address that the SEALS had rescued two hostages, but he was smart enough not to mention it.  In the campaign, I expect he'll let others do most of the lifting in this area.  Also recall he can point to helping to bring down Ghadaffi.
But, in the end, Obama knows he can't lean too heavily on this because the main issue in the campaign, as always, will be the economy.

on his minions. Just like his does with racial demagogery. He'll let the Ed Schultz's of the world continue to paint everyone who does'nt like Obama as racists and he'll just make casual references, reenforcing the line.
