I’m betting Biden and Hillary are on one side and Bambi is on the other and we know who has the power.

That's my guess, which led me to this thought: Why are so many people always guessing what Obama's motives and intentions are? I hate to go all Occam's Razor, but this thing might be playing out exactly the way he planned it.

It will be interesting to see how the oil markets react tonight.

“It will be interesting to see how the oil markets react tonight.”

Through the roof would be my guess.

The timing makes this a possible outlier ‘dot’ to be ‘connected’...

Is Something Serious Up at Treasury?
Economic Policy Journal ^ | 1/29/2011 | Robert Wenzel

Posted on Sunday, January 30, 2011 8:21:25 AM by FromLori

On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Geithner will have dinner at Treasury with former secretaries of the Treasury.

What’s up with this? There was no indication on the weekly Treasury schedule, put out just a day ago, that this dinner was planned. Very unusual.

On top of that, the Treasury put this notice out at 9:00PM on a Saturday night. Sure looks like a rushed meeting to me.

Inside the White House’s Egypt Scramble
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2665508/posts

Actually they may have been attempting a soft coup, but they in no way intended it to be like this.

They screwed up and lost control of the situation and Mubarak thumbed his knows at 0bama. That wasn’t supposed to go down that way. ElBaridei is under house arrest in Egypt since Friday.

I am in the other camp as far as Obama is concerned.

This is just another of his demonstrations of incompetence.

In past situations, he just sat back and did nothing in hopes that time would straighten it out by itself. Afghanistan is a good example of what I am saying.

Because MaObama IS so inept and clueless, he believes that this thing will just settle down and go away all by itself and he will emerge looking like he is the reason.

Obama was elected President because of this very thing. He said and did nothing during the Financial crisis, he just sat back on his ass and after all the heavy lifting was done, he got credit for it BECAUSE he did not get critically involved.

He kept campaigning while his opponent lost media attention. This is why he is now President. America wanted an “Outsider” and that is EXACTLY what they got!

Without a doubt it is. His puppet master planned this whole thing.
