FILE - In this Oct. 29, 2010, file photo President Barack Obama leaves the White House press briefing room after saying the U.S. is committed to disrupting al-Qaida in Yemen. The drone strike in Yemen Friday killed the radical cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki, al-Qaida bomb-maker Ibrahim al-Asiri and Samir Khan, the editor of the al-Qaida propaganda magazine Inspire, making the attack perhaps the single most successful drone strike ever. Obama's approval rating on terrorism was higher than on any other issue, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in late August. It showed that 60 percent of those surveyed approved of his handling of terrorism.  (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File)AP - The killing of an American-born cleric in Yemen underscores a re-election reality for President Barack Obama: He may have a string of counterterrorism successes and high marks from the public on foreign policy, but neither is likely to help him hold the White House.
