Manufactured Crisis To Rescue Failing Obama Agenda?

Plunging approval ratings create fears of new Reichstag fire

New polls that show President Obama’s popularity has sunk to record lows should act as an alarm bell for the possibility that a manufactured crisis, just as was exploited by Bush and Clinton before him, is being prepared to reinvigorate support behind the government’s stalling agenda.

As far back as March controversial talk show host Michael Savage predicted that a “Reichstag fire-like event” would be concocted to reinvigorate support behind Obama but that was only two months into his presidency when his approval ratings were still relatively high.

However, Obama’s popularity has plunged rapidly as millions of Americans witness his pursuit of policies that are little different from those of George W. Bush, and in some cases even worse.

“Barack Obama’s honeymoon period appears to be coming to an end in America as polls have shown his ratings have fallen to their lowest point yet,” reports the Telegraph.

“A USA Today/Gallup survey suggested that six months into his presidency, his popularity was lower than George W Bush’s at the same stage of his tenure. Other polls by ABC News and the Washington Post also showed Mr Obama’s job approval falling below 60 per cent for the first time since he was sworn in as the nation’s first black president, with a marked drop in the last month.”

Both George W. Bush and Bill Clinton before him were able to seize upon crises relatively early into their tenures to ram through their political agenda.

Bush enjoyed approval ratings in the 90’s immediately after 9/11, which happened less than 8 months into his presidency, and exploited the tragedy to launch a geopolitical crusade, while the Oklahoma City bombing handed Clinton all the justification he needed to advance his domestic campaign to demonize and marginalize the growing patriot movement.

Recall that vice-president Joe Biden “promised” and “guaranteed” that there would be an “international crisis” within six months of Obama’s presidency that would cause him to make unpopular decisions. This crisis is now overdue since it’s just over six months since Obama took office.

What will Obama’s crisis be? A geopolitical flare-up that will act as a pretext for U.S. military involvement overseas? Or a terrorist attack that will create the perfect excuse for Obama to backtrack on promises that he is already stalling on, such as the closure of Guantanamo Bay? An attack on U.S. soil will also stoke accusations that the Democrats are “soft” on the war on terror by Republicans, providing another excuse to beef the police state and chill free speech at home.

Or will Obama act as the soothing savior when an engineered swine flu epidemic, promised to return deadlier than ever in the fall, or something even worse causes panic and chaos?

*cough* Paranoid

Tell that to Biden and Micheal Savage.

Are we really? Or is that what the media wants people to think?

After I take the mark (on my forehead), I'm going to be sure and tell the Dark Lord that you two are not true believers!

On the other hand this is a perfect set up isn't it? If something does happen, you can bet now that it will be called Manufactured even if it was not. Ugh

Personally I don't think that Obama's polls being down mean much at this juncture. Six months into Bush's presidency we hadn't even had 9/11 yet, let alone a war or a recession. I'm not blaming Bush, I'm just saying the country is much worse off now than it was eight years ago and polls are down because people want instant results. Whether Obama's policies are for better or worse, it will take another six months (at the very least) before we can really tell how effective they are.

Well, be sure to enjoy your verichip and as far as your buddy the dark lord is concerned, trust me, I know full well that if the tiptoe towards totalitarianism in this country becomes a full run, I'm not going to be up for any awards from this government.

Is Obama's numbers being down an indication of this nations obsession with instant gratification or is it because he's really not much different than Bush in his policy?

I agree. You would think we would have learned from instant gratification, but clearly we have not. It's really interesting that anyone would think that any president at this time could have fixed this mess in this amount of time. Especially when this president is not personally responsible for us being in this fix in the first place. I don't blame Bush for the whole thing either, he had help, and not just from government, but from the people themselves.

is it not strange how those that refuse to even think of a possibility are quick to throw out the paranoid word


you know i have been called a paranoid over thinkier many times here

but you know what i take that as a compliment

i would much rather over think a possibility and bring it to the attention of others than just set back sitting next to the wall wearing my helmet just rocking back and forth banging my head against the wall not knowing what the possibilities are


hey war


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


be well nothing bad will ever happen the govt ill take care of you

I just find being paranoid a waste of time if that is all one focuses on. To assume because people are not paranoid that they are sitting against a wall rocking back and forth is just strange. Yes, some people might not be over thinking things. I tend to think a lot, but over thinking generally does get me paranoid. And typically things are never as bad as I expected by thinking too much.

I know when I am being paranoid, a that point I do some research to see if it is justified. Unfortunately no one has any real clue who is right or wrong these days.

If I don't find it justified and you do, does that make you right and me wrong?

and just because i think about it and you don't that makes me paranoid

i am no more paranoid

than you are sitting banging your head

but many refuse to even look at possibilities

if you let those possibilities control how you live your life yes then you are paranoid

but to realize those possibilities does not make you paranoid

but to refuse the possibility of those possibilities you decides what it makes someone

ouch


ouch



ouch



ouch

ouch


ouch


ouch



ouch

I think some are afraid to look deeper for fear of finding out they were wrong and others were right.

Sorry Adj, wasn't calling you paranoid, or wasn't intending it. Was just commenting on paranoia period. There are all kinds of possibilities, good and bad, but finding the absolute truth can be very very frustrating, and if I dwell too much on all of it, it does make me feel paranoid, a feeling I do not like.

Anyway I don't let anything control my life at my age.

That's what I have been telling bible thumpers for years. Frankly I don't think any of us, those of us that do read and try to find out what's going on, really know anything for certain, which has to make frustrating for all concerned.

hey boo

i did not mean that you called me paranoid personally but it happens a lot by others at least it did till i started making a point of me taking it as a compliment (see above)

actually we think parallel on a lot of subjects

be well

Great point. I do however get amused when I'm pointed at as some tin foil hat wearer, when I'm just pointing out what these people in power have said and done, what they admit their intentions are.
