As more and more information becomes available I suspect hardcore lefties will discover an increasing number of reasons to find fault with O and forget they once approved.

I think he'll get a bit more than a transitory bump from this with them. <br /><br />Looking back, early in his term he ordered sharpshooters assassinate the Somali pirates who had taken hostages. That was a risk, but it was also a success. Second, he's taken the fight to AQ in Yemen. Third, while he may not have directly ordered the bombing of Qaddafi's residence, he did not stop it. Qaddafi's days are numbered. Finally, he's ordered the execution of another high risk plan that resulted in the killing of Osama. The comparison to Jimmy Carter meme, who incompetently bungled the Iran hostage rescue, is falling apart. I'm sure the 2012 campaign commercials are already being made to show Obama as a strong, determined military leader with a successful national security track record.<br /><br />On the other hand, independents have to juxtapose all that against the fact he allowed himself to be pressured by a game show host, which made him look terribly weak (to me). But that story is now dead and will be overwhelmed by the killing of OBL.MaggotAtBroad&Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493406951892285654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-81348439618520949842011-05-02T11:34:32.854-04:002011-05-02T11:34:32.854-04:00"The Dollar Plummets" May 2nd Edition
&..."The Dollar Plummets" May 2nd Edition<br /><br />"After some patriotic sentiment modestly pushed the dollar to just above humiliation levels, the DXY is right back to lowest level since July 2008. We still have about 150 pips to go until the all time low of 71.3521 from April 22, 2008 is taken out. After that, the CNY (Chinese Yuan) better be ready to take over as reserve currency cause it will get <a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/article/dollar-plummets-may-2nd-edition" rel="nofollow">ugly</a>."<br /><br />The value of the dollar is inversely correlated to US domestic oil prices and inflation. The dollar is falling because the US government is flooding the world with US dollars and their equivalents. Just one chicken that could come home to roost in 2012. But the Fed and Treasury have some ability to reverse this process. Might they do just that in the spring and summer of 2012 in time for the elections? In other words: fewer dollars, rising dollar value, hence falling domestic prices for anything imported, including oil.viatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210255358385745222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-84704526466947686962011-05-02T11:32:10.075-04:002011-05-02T11:32:10.075-04:00"Getting OBL is good for our morale, bad for ..."Getting OBL is good for our morale, bad for AQs if we can prove it,"<br /><br />Are you at all familiar with the history of fighting religious extremists?
