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.
Do you think they sacrificed the Ambassador in the name of progress?
Because it worked out so well for Carter?
Your theory is not beyond reason, although I believe this is an attempt to get the focus OFF OF THE ECONOMY in the upcoming debates. Notice how the media attacked Romney immediately following the attack in Libya. This is all scripted. America's enemies occupy our government.
“Did the Obama team assume a crises in foreign policy would generate a Rally to flag effect and help 0 in the election?”
If they thought that, then they are really stupid.
Democrats always have an automatic advantage when the major issues facing the country involve the economy. People believe the Democrats are more likely to protect them from financial problems, if only by sending them free checks in the mail.
Republicans always have an automatic advantage when the major issues facing the country involve military or foreign threats. People believe the Republicans are more likely to protect them from foreign threats.
Ergo this crisis helps Romney. Expect a poll bump.
0bama may try a diversion from the economy, but you can’t divert America’s attention AWAY from the gas prices.
Have you noticed them lately?
Add that to the $$ printing press now running non stop (inflation right around the corner), I don’t think an diversion attempt will work.
