Your Prediction of B.O.'s Upcoming Diversions

B.O. will put forth many more diversions between now and November. Friday's immigration bomb shell is a great example of this. Anything he can throw it there to keep the news media away from his failed economic policies will work to his advantage, and the biased news media will take whatever he throws out and run with it.

The Republicans are completely outclassed in such a political game, and will be near helpless in these situations as seen last Friday.

I will start off the list with the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare. Whichever way it goes, B.O. and the media will milk it as long as possible to keep the discussion away from B.O.'s failed economic policies.

What do you predict as a diversion?

I'm not sure I agree with your premise, Repubs are completely outclassed...."

I thought they responded pretty quickly with the Obama quotes from a few years ago in which he said he could not act unilaterally. The problem is that the State-controlled media may not cover it, but the alternative media does, and the message does get out. ( maybe not here at PP, but in the great unwashed heartland)

He will try and divert attention away from the economy, but everyone LIVES the economy everyday. I doubt that his attempts will be successful.

You used the phrase "failed economic policies" twice, as if it's something that's generally agreed upon and understood. I'd like you to elaborate, with examples if you don't mind. If you'd rather not, then we'll just have to conclude it's just meaningless buzzwords.

Pres O did a good job with the diversion of calling up the Hurricane just in time for the GOP convention.

There might be a good opportunity to openly discuss Area 51, for once and for all.

So are you predicting that Area 51 will be one of B.O.'s diversions? I'll put you down for it.
