Tin Foil hat time.
We know 0bamas good buddies Bernadette Dorn and Bill Ayres were instrumental in coordination with the Arab Spring. They have extensive contacts with the groups behind the Arab Spring.
One area 0bama is leading on in the polls is Foreign Policy
Is the current crises in the ME a Obama Reichstag Fire designed to distract attention from Obama disaster corrupt incompetence on the Economy on to an area his is wrongly assumed to be competent on?
Did the Obama team assume a crises in foreign policy would generate a Rally to flag effect and help 0 in the election?
I know, it sounds utterly insane but when you know the people around Obama, it is not so far fetched. These people really are as amoral and political corrupt as this.
No, I think Obama now has another major problem on his hand that he is ill-equiped to handle.
The reports that:
- apologies were made for the Americans who encouraged the attacks
- Obama didn’t attend daily security briefings the entire week prior
- the attacks were coordinated; despite an “Arab Spring”
will absolutely be devastating for his campaign. There is no way out of this for Obama. Some of the press is trying to place some sort of blame on Romney (???) but no one is buying it. Even if he does what is right (immediate military retaliation and cut off all aid to Egypt) there will still be questions about the meetings he skipped and his gross misjudgement of muslim intentions.
But he won’t do what is right. With no military experience and a history of bumbling diplomatic actions, Obama will take minimal action, thus demonstrating his weak resolve and open Americans to more attacks.
Not very tinfoil hat, if you ask me.
Very plausible.
My TFH (tinfoil hat) take on it is that this is somehow related to his election plans. Martial law. Suspension of elections. Or possibly an attempt to make him look powerful and decisive.
If any of the above are true, I think he will find himself the victim of the law of unintended consequences.
He is coming off as weak and feckless. Even many who voted for him in 2008 are disgusted. If he does something drastic - declares martial law or suspends elections - he will find out that Americans are not sheep. There will be pitchforks at the door of the WH.
