Let's face it, being the Great Divider wasn't nearly as much as fun as it was supposed to be. Sure it was great to poke fun at the "libruls" and to call all the skeptics "traitors." But when the skeptics became the majority, this became a tough sell. Nope, it works a lot better when the sinister "Other" is an honest to gosh foreigner, preferably swarthy, and from a country with natural resources. Canada? Oh so close, but so darn white (these people ice skate for Christ's sake), and they speak English (more or less).

Will people be willing to overlook that the administration nurtured this problem for years so that they could "solve" it? It's a sure thing.
