OKAY, IF THE RIGHT OUGHT NOT BE CALLING HIM A GAY MUSLIM SOCIALIST...:

The war recovery? (David S. Broder, October 31, 2010, Washington Post)

Here is where Obama is likely to prevail. With strong Republican support in Congress for challenging Iran's ambition to become a nuclear power, he can spend much of 2011 and 2012 orchestrating a showdown with the mullahs. This will help him politically because the opposition party will be urging him on. And as tensions rise and we accelerate preparations for war, the economy will improve.

I am not suggesting, of course, that the president incite a war to get reelected. But the nation will rally around Obama because Iran is the greatest threat to the world in the young century.

Does the Left even know what it is portraying him as when it says he needs "scapegoats" and an external enemy to war against in order to distract people from domestic affairs?
