I'll have to do some research but it seems like every time Barry's popularity numbers go down there seems to be some sort of event happening relative to the war on terror. If memory serves, it has had to do with the Navy and Seal Teams more often than not.
I'd like to think that the average Joe or Jill wouldn't fall for this kind of shell game but the truth is that the average Joes and Jillls voted Barry into office. Maybe the public got a little smarter over the past two years and 10 months, I know for a fact that we all got a lot poorer. Lets hope that the American public remembers how bad things got under Barry's administration in November of 2012.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

I can't imagine that this will gain him any ground with anyone. These are old tricks that have worn thin. The economy is what matters and Obama obviously has run out of ideas.
