TIME mag: Maybe a horrendous act of violence will kill hundreds, even thousands, of Americans ..
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/6/10 | Byron York

Everyone knows Barack Obama is in a political fix. The coalition that elected him in 2008 has collapsed, and the independents whose support lifted him to the White House have now abandoned him. What to do?

Time magazine's Mark Halperin says Obama has to try all the expected things: "show people what he stands for, fight for what he believes, compromise with Republicans when it's sensible, reshape his circle of advisers and focus on job growth and deficit reduction." But Halperin says succeeding in those efforts will be tough because "they run counter to Obama's instincts, the political realities of American politics for the last generation, or both."

What Obama really needs, Halperin says, is a stroke of good luck. "Busy as he's been, he has not yet experienced a single major moment that has benefited him politically," Halperin writes. Events like the Gulf oil spill have been harmful, rather than helpful. So what would brighten Obama's political prospects? Here's Halperin:

No one wants the country to suffer another catastrophe. But when a struggling Bill Clinton was faced with the Oklahoma City bombing and a floundering George W. Bush was confronted by 9/11, they found their voices and a route to political revival.

Obama could be directly responsible, and the remnants of the media will still defend him.

Gone are days when the media would report on the dead hooker or the live boy.

They live in a bubble.

They’re citizens of another country. I’ve no idea where that country is, or how one gets there, but that’s where these people live.

Bubblefornia, maybe.

If another 911 attack happens, it will bury him because of his ties with the Middle East.

At least TIME is warning us of things to come. I just hope the ivory-tower pointy heads are the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

We are going to have to make our elected officials know in no uncertain terms that we want BO legally removed now.

Demand that your Congressman, Senator, County DA, Sheriff, State Legislators, Governor, Attorney General etc. take legal action to remove BO before he completely destroys our Country.

Liberals so it seems are not Americans at all but “Citizens of the World” As such anything that helps their man and their world government is good—The means justify by the ends (one World) Even Millions of deaths. This is how Mao and Stalin thought. This is why we must pull these people from positions of power in the Media, politics, business, and the Universities. They will only mean death for many Americans in the long run. Traitors the whole lot of them.

This is a lot of baloney. An empty suit like Barack Obama who botched even something as simple and inconsequential as the Henry Louis Gates incident in Cambridge, MA simply doesn't have the competence, simply common sense or basic leadership skills to deal with anything more complicated than a basketball game.

That Iranian hostage situation and failed rescue mission sure did the Carter administration a lot of good, didn't it? /sarcasm off/
