re: #5 palomino
What I keep worrying about is an actual large-scale terrorist attack, another 9/11 scenario.
Because I don’t see any chance that the right-wing legislators would stand by Obama and show national unity the way that the Democrats did with Bush. I don’t think the haters in the general population would, either. I really doubt he’d get a 90% popularity afterwards. I think they’d attack him immediately for ‘letting it happen’. Neotrutherism would abound.
