Although Obama may not realize it yet, Putin is his political savior. Right now, Obama leads a terribly divided nation of many religions, races, creeds, income levels, massive debts and unfunded liabilities, and ultra low approval ratings.
A national war will unify the country and quash any dissent. Anyone who opposes the war will be branded a commie, and instead of wasting their time on meaningless sports scores Monday morning, men will have a purpose - to go kill people in the name of the Nobel Peace Prize winning savior of America, His Royal Highness, Barack Hussein Obama!!
Once Putin invades the Ukraine via some pretext, if Obama realizes the chance he has at historical greatness and to jail people who disagree with him in the name of national security, we are all fucked.
That bastard Putin may not be so clever after all....
