Is there anything which can save Obama’s presidency?
Is there anything which can save Obama’s presidency?

A friend of mine recently sent me a link to a very entertaining read called The Toilet Paper. In this particular issue, they were having a bit of fun at the expense of supreme court nominee, Elena Kagan. Their dig was in reference to both Kagan's physical "beauty" and her "wealth" of experience. It turns out she has neither. You're probably wondering what this has to do with saving "The Great One's" presidency. Don't worry my liberal friends, read on and you will have your answer.

Actually, the email about Kagan made me think of a parallel to Obama. You see, just like Obama, she's got lots of education…and no experience. And just as Obama was positioned to be a power player (who never played), Kagan is positioned to be the same. Political nutroots are acting like this scenario never happened before. It's all experimental, you see, and we who are so critical…so quick to pass judgment, couldn't possibly know the outcome of what I'm terming,  the Kagan Experiment. But we do know don't we. Because Obama has been elected by those poor souls who can't see past the ends of their noses, the rest of us are experiencing, firsthand, how such experiments turn out. This observation led me to reflect on Obama's current approval ratings, which are hovering around 44%. It also made me wonder what, if anything, could save this man's presidency, especially, if his ratings continue plummeting into the 2012 general election?

There's only one thing…are you ready for this? I don't think you are, but I'm going to hit you with it anyway: a faux-assassination attempt. Think of it. It's the only thing which might be enough to swing public sentiment in his favor, enough to keep him in office for a second term, enough to even make his opponents fearful of attacking him for his ideological, and thus his legislative agenda. Hollywood would be only too happy to oblige this president by setting up (next to the latest string of government handouts) the largest con ever perpetrated in history: the mock failed assassination of the president of the United States. If his numbers keep tanking, look for it late in 2012. And remember…you heard it here first.

That's my prediction. Lest you think it's too far out in (AHEM) left field, let me remind you I predicted Bush Jr's lame duck presidency in his second term, the subsequent government handouts to corporate America (Uncle Sugar sympathizers call 'em bailouts) and Obama's landslide victory in 2008. Most of my conservative friends were dismissing me then too. Now I've got your attention.

Chew on that one a while.
