Israel will attack Iran on their own timetable, not to influence our elections.

Israel will attack Iran on their own timetable, not to influence our elections.

Here's hoping they sync their timetable accordingly.

Freed of the constraints that the need to get re-elected imposes, the president's anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian bias will come out in virulent form with likely lethal implications for Israel.

If Israel wants any chance of American support, they will have to attack before the election while Obama is still concerned about keeping Jewish votes. If Obama is re-elected, Israel will be left to twist in the wind alone.

[Recon Dad]

If Israel does not attack until after the election and Zero wins they can forget any support whatsoever.

If The Annointed One’s fate is tied to energy prices, it is more likely to be a previously unknown trader in the futures pits who will turn the election one direction or another. They seem to have the whip hand right now anyway.

Not sure I would take Dick Morris’ word for anything
(except maybe who has the prettiest feet)..

If Natanyahu attacks, he will do so because he feels that an attack would be imperative to prevent an avowed enemy from acquiring nuclear weapons. Netanyahu's term ends in early 2013 and he is not the sort of man who would leave this task to someone else. The real threat to Obama's reelection is not if oil prices spike, it would be if the 5th Fleet suffers major losses in the narrow confines of the Persian Gulf. Despite Obama's tough talk my hunch is that major elements of the Fleet will soon depart the Gulf.

His refusal to approve the Keystone Pipeline, to drill in the ANWR reserve, and to issue permits for deep sea drilling, all make him ultra-vulnerable on the gas price issue. He has no good answers on the subject.

Right the MSM will be all over him for his actions

Obama could never recover from the run-up of oil prices that would follow an Israeli attack.

The left will howl and blame the Joooos.
