I would be very surprised to see Obama release the Osama photos.
First...It is Socialist custom to kill its enemies and bury them in an unmarked mass grave.
Then suppress the evidence of the deed while publicly rejoicing in the death.
Two....Obama needs a new Straw-man after the end of the "Birther" controversy.
It is Obama's policy to divert any real political debate by fixing the argument on a bogus Straw-man upon which Obama is rigged to win.
Obama may hope by suppressing the evidence he can renew the controversy that Osama died in 2001 of renal failure and the Seal Team Raid was an elaborate hoke.
Obama may hope that his more gullible political enemies will fall for the trap of looking like paranoid fools with an Osama death controversy.
Obama can then spring the real evidence at the proper political moment just like he did with Donald Trump.
In short, it is custom and political advantage that will Osama from releasing the Osama photos.

Update....Obama is refusing to release the photos despite his administration promises to do so.
