The only time Obama’s approval ratings have had a jump in the past few years was when he sent in the SEALs to kill Osama bin Laden. Now Obama must find another evil Muslim bad guy like Assad to fight against, hoping the Syrian dictator lasts until October so Obama can kill him then and reap the benefits on election day.
However, since our entry into the Syrian revolution would create even more turmoil in the Middle East, gasoline prices would probably rise to about $50 a gallon by October, so Obama’s ploy might not work.
If gas is at $50 a gallon, I don’t think it will matter any more if Obama is reelected. The damage will probably be irreperable, and radiate out to food prices, manufactured goods, currency exchanges and airline tickets. Start growing your own food in you back yard. Get a gun and a small annoying dog (burglar alarm, doesn’t eat much) to defend it. Buy gold.
