My personal pick for the October surprise ? He'll start bombing someone, or just straight out go to war.

Iran, Syria, Libya, it doesn't matter. Desperate men do desperate things, and starting a war to win an election (to exploit a "rally around the flag" atmosphere and use it to attack Romney on foreign policy, by saying its a war, and he has no experience here).

Clinton did a "wag the dog" attack on the balkans to distract from Lewisnky and got a brief bump, all Obama has to do, is just get that brief bump at the right time. Bombing someome, sending troops, going to war, thats going to be the October surprise.....

For a “wag the dog” moment to work it has to appear to be a spontaneous act. Bombing an Aspirin factory or declaring war on someone simply wouldn’t work and would drive his already flagging numbers down. I’m not saying some “wag the dog” plan isn’t being worked on, but it can’t be anything that obvious.

[[Desperate men do desperate things]]

Yep- that’s what I’m afraid of- he’s very desperate especially after being so humiliated by mitt i nthe debate- obama doesn’t give a crap about people’s lives- his reelection and poll numbers are all that matters (ansd somehow the peopel supporting him don’t care that he doesn’t care abotu people’s lives
