Obama needs as many distraction from the current scandals as he can get. He thought about going to war with his good buddy Imanutjob, but that’s temporaraly on the back burner, just milking that one will be a major distraction. Look for multiple little spats here and there, as the scandals build, then major distractions toward the calls for impeachment.
At the same time, Obeyme has vowed to break down his stimulus “jobs” bill into components which will be pushed through Congress one by one. The Repubs have already said they could go along with “some” components. This news all pushed to the back back burners.
