Re: If there is a cunning plan... (none / 1)

It's a nice theory - but why set up someone to fail? There would have to be a political advantage of the 'We tried it your way - now let's try my way' kind.

What evidence is there that Obama works like that, or has ever worked like that?

Re: If there is a cunning plan... (none / 1)

Having Watched the Iraq war, I'm sure that would result in, "you havent tried it our way for long enough" as a response till the next presidential election where he would loose as the recovery would be perpetually round the next corner.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
