demonstrations and public gatherings today and in the coming days. they are paying extra attention to transit areas and places of warship. if you are flying today, they say sfo has not made any changes to security or flights but it is always a good idea to call ahead, just in case. regardless, political analysts say long term america needs to be prepared for revenge. >> across the world, americans and otherwise have beefed up their security. sometimes not until six months, a year, two years later, then they say by the way, this is because of that. i think everyone has to be on guard not only tonight and tomorrow, but really for years to come. >> on our facebook page, we have posed the question, are

americans safer now? no way. i don't think so. there seems to be other terrorists that have grown in power. i pray there won't be retaliations. >> the overwhelming consensus is we are not safer. if you would like to share your thoughts, head to nbc bay area news on facebook. we'll share your thoughts with the rest of our viewers this morning. laura. >> thank you very much. al qaeda released a statement saying they would retaliate. we'll keep an eye on the death of osama bin laden this morning. want to switch gears. it's 5:07 now. hopefully a nice day on top. good morning to christina loren. >> we have a gorgeous day on tap. similar to over the weekend. the high pressure is keeping things nice and quiet around here. temperatures in the 70s today. mid-70s. the only thing we have to worry about is the potential for 90 degree weather. keep that in mind if you are

>> hi, laura. officially, president obama shocking washington here. response across party lines from people on capitol hill. from the pentagon, a sense of mission accomplished, realizing the war on terror will go on. they will go on. americans will continue to be in harm's way. in so many ways, a lot doesn't change, even though osama bin laden, himself, is gone. let's keep in mind, this is the face of evil. this is the most wanted terrorist on the face of the earth and people here in washington, unofficially are celebrating. we saw people crowd into la fayette square park across from the white house. in cities across the united states, coast to coast, people who asked so many times over the

years why can't we get this guy? finally, we have the answer. we did get him. osama bin laden is gone. his body buried at sea. u.s. officials saying they did this in keeping with the islamic faith which a body must be buried within 24 hours. what nation wanted to keep osama bin laden's remains became a mecca for extremists, a lightning rod for his ilk. >> it's a good point. the president was in talks with military officials over the weekend. he gave no indication of it what so ever. he had the white house press correspondent's dinner saturday night. >> let's reach back to the fogs of time a slight bit here. remember that moment george bush reading a book in front of a class of school children. he took a lot of heat for that. honestly, it's what a president

must do in a time of crisis. remain detached. not let the other people, the enemy know what you are thinking. president obama was laughing it up just like any president would at a white house correspondent's dinner. he went to the cape and watched the shuttle launch and toured a facility with his family. he went to the tornado zone, never once giving a hint what what was about to happen about happened. it's critical. if he gave a hint something big was going on, if anyone here in washington would have blabbed, osama bin laden could have been in the wind, once again like he was in the clinton years when we had a chance to kill him then. >> after ten years, ten long years. thank you very much, brian. it's 5:44. the death of osama bin laden will be the talk of the office this morning. president obama's late night talk giving him a pat on the

back. today in the bay political analyst says in the long term, it will not help the president get reelected. >> short term for obama, we will see a ten-point jump in his approval ratings, no question about it. there's going to be a boost of shouts for the president. it will definitely firm up his foreign policy credentials. long term, not so much. long term, a year from now, people aren't going to be talking about this like they are tomorrow morning. >> the gallup polls most recent numbers found 46% of people approve of the job the president is doing. 46% disapprove. as we talked about in the death of osama bin laden, there's special meaning to families in the bay area. bob redell is live in san rafael with one of the stories. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. we are outside the home of jack randall. his wife, three months pregnant

clear start as we head throughout the afternoon. the breeze picks up but mostly sunny. similar to what we saw over the weekend. you are going to need to run the ac at one point or another. temperatures are going to climb toward 90 degrees. overnight lows close to 60 degrees. temperatures are going to stay steady as high pressure sits offshore. it's what we are talking ability for today and tomorrow. mostly sunny conditions inland, mid-70s. the coast, low 70s. by wednesday, this big ridge moves inland, sets upright over the san francisco bay area and drives the offshore winds. that means hot conditions inland. the warmest temperatures we have seen in months. today, down right perfect. breezy today. windy in some areas. 73 degrees up in san rafael. the seven day outlook, no rain in sight. not just for the next seven days, the next 14 days judging by the forecast models.
