[quote=Arraya]That’s exactly what it is, good cop/bad cop. Besides meaningless social issues that they toss to the constituents, the only thing that changes is the rhetoric and portion of population the defends the same policies that they were criticizing before the last election.
That silk sheet will most likely get ripped off with deteriorating world conditions. There are many tipping points that could facilitate this. The spin cycle is set on high, though…

Arraya: It’s a “Pick ‘Em” in terms of which situation is the game changer. My personal bet is on Afghanistan, but I think North Korea could also rear up and bite Obama on his ass.
I believe he is going to go the LBJ route in Afghanistan and tie up even more money and troops in a losing effort. Have you seen the plans for the compound in Islamabad, Pakistan? No joke. We are finding ourselves on the same slippery slope that LBJ did in 1965 with Vietnam. It starts with the 1st Marines landing at Danang and ends up with 550,000 troops in country.
Throw in his “revised” Iraqi timetable and that gigantic sucking sound gets even louder.
