Osama bin Laden. Dead. The Iraq war. Ending. Libya. Liberated. The past six months have been quite fruitful for President Obama’s foreign agenda. How will Obama’s ace up his sleeve play into his hand during reelection in 2012?

CBS reports that voters may not care much about the president’s foreign success.
 

“These victories will no doubt burnish his credentials as a world leader, as a president who can fight terrorism, but they may not help him win re-election next year, when the issues of the campaign will be more likely focused on issues here at home, like jobs.”
 

And an international studies expert tells ABC News the president is unlikely to make much use of his foreign policy victories in his campaign...
 

“Given the economy and given that international engagement generally is not very popular right now … he can’t really
capitalize on this.”

Monsters and Critics, quoting a White House spokesman, says although foreign policy won’t be the focus, it can boost Obama’s overall image.
 

“The president will be judged on his record as president, and that includes commander in chief... The only thing, I think, that's worth pointing out - and this applies to foreign policy, national security policy, as well as domestic policy - is that this president has made a series of very hard decisions.”

MSNBC agrees victories across the pond could influence voters’ opinions about Obama as a president who keeps his promises.

“The president brought up the campaign promise on this. And you got remember, the history of Obama’s candidacy began something that the White House today continues to emphasize. At the same time they also believe they overall have a good story to tell about national security record.”
 

The New York Times says Obama’s camp should try to link his foreign policy boost to his leadership on the home front -- first, salvaging the economy.

“If the president can use his foreign policy successes to bolster the broader idea that he is a decisive leader in other areas as well, Americans might come to view him differently... One of the strengths of the president’s campaign in 2008 was in developing a narrative about him — an overarching story about hope. It’s possible that a new narrative could be developed.”
