BuddyL yea,I have seen that article before. What can i say? Now I have never been ( I cannot assert that more) in those parts of the world,mind you, but strangely, I have all of these great stories to tell about my time there. How can this be?

Anyway, it is all starting to add up, and it is getting harder to use the opening “well maybe I am paranoid, but…”

Something is afoot. Makes you hope that the Almighty will step in and cause things to gang agley, at least once.

The real kicker is the meme “the greatest crisis since….”. As you well know, this could be turned around in 4 quarters if the Democrats did the right thing.

I know that you say that they are stupid; well, i do not buy that. Nobody is that stupid, nobody with that kind of cash that can buy good advice behaves this stupidly.

You know if I were Obama, I would have really gone bipartisan. If it were really such a huge crisis, and my heart was with the country, I would have sent Rudy down to Wall St. and said “Fix it. Find out the culprits and expose them. Findout who knows how to fix this and let him do it.” I would have said to the country: “I sent the hero of 911 down there to brave anther attack; and I have told Too stand with him as thet did in those desperate days.” (or somethin’). Rudy would have answered the call and have plenty of democrats on his team.) With real investigations it would have gotten the whole Reid-Pelosi-Franks-Soros coven out of his hair for good, and he would be a free operator. His promise of ethical change would put him completely beyond reproach and would serve as a model for a half a century.

Can you imagine how popular he would be if he got Pelosi and Reid off the national stage and had Soros squirming in the docket. I’d vote for him (not really).

I would draft Palin and Fred and send them out into the hinterlands and say:
“You find out what people really need, find out what they think is right. Get an honest and frank dialog going. Let us have real unity and find that common ground. I will listen and we will work together and do it right; together we sell it to the American people. I will stand by you no matter what.”

If I were a just too gobsmacked of a Keynesian to give it up, I would take that pork and spend it on the military. Green tech? Lets get it working for our military first. I would send the message to the world “See we are so smart that we can Fight the WOT and fight Climate change!” (OK, so i would leave out the climate stuff).

I would get Bush and Bill Clinton to get the unions and the auto industry to do profit sharing and stop the class BS.

I would have Hillary and Bill going out there to tell the NGO’s, the Davos crowd and the UN to just give it a break for a couple of years.

and I would just go bomb the dickens out of Iran.

That is what I would do.

And he, more than anyone else on the planet could do this.He would get away with it. The usual suspects would be dumbfounded into silence for a year. He could whip his side into line. The GOP would be falling all over themselves to help him, and Conservatives would be doing more than a little soul searching about him, the Democrats and Liberals in general. The moonbat left would be marginalized and the Media finally tamed, and the whole country would tkank him for it (well, most of it).

It would cost him nothing politically, it in fact would secure his second term and he would go down in history as more than a curiosity and a cautionary tale. He would be FDR and Ronald Reagan rolled into one, at least in the minds of most of the electorate. “Hope and Change” would mean something other than code words for The Great Leap Forward Chicago Style.
