Oh God wouldn’t the Dems just be in heaven if an embassy hostage crisis were to happen. They would play that right up to the 2012 election.

The Dems would be in hell if an embassy hostage situation happens.Obama couldn’t cope and their political house of cards would fall down.

Are you serious? Do you remember, or have you read about, the hostage crisis from ‘79? 440 days the US Embassy staff was held hostage. Killed any chance Carter might have had for reelection. They lost the White House AND the Senate in ‘80. The hostages were released on Reagan’s Inauguration Day.

...Because it worked so well for Jimmy Carter?

That was the final nail in his coffin.

An incumbent was creamed in a landslide.
