Ok, most of you don't know what the hell I am talking about. I beg your indulgence and I will explain:
We have been focusing on the economy and what has not or what has worked. I think we can all agree that the Stimulus was insufficient (thank you Dr. Paul Krugman you were right all along) in creating new jobs and being a "rising tide that lifted all boats. What do progressives do.
While this has been going on, we have had some incredible success in Afghanistan. Every day, a new Al Queda stronghold is overtaken and a new leader captured. One of them surely must know Bin Laden.
Find him, cpature him, if he is killed in the process, put his body on display.
Why? We need a game changer and fast.
If this happens, Obama becomes a national hero. He can then go to the American people and make his case for time
"Pleae, we overestimated the extent of the crisis". Please give us time. With the same zeal and commitment that I captured this terrorist, I will fix the economy, pleas trust me."
The Glen Beck's will be stopped in their tracks. I can see the Sunday news programs, John Boehner, Mitch McConnel would be gasping Ha--di---hammid whatever. This cold buy us time in 2010.
Folks: I can think of no other tactic save a miracle in the job market. Even if the market added 90,000 jobs a month it would be way insufficient. We need a game changer and we need one fast.
If I am wrong, please correct. And please don't give me that 9/11 was an inside job paranoia. That makes as much sense as Obama being a Muslim or a foreign born citizen.
