Osama style re-election for Obama

Let's face it. After his elections, president Obama was only popular in his own country at one particular moment in time. The only couple of days none of the American public, not even elected Republican officials, dared ridicule him in public are the ones right after the raid on Osama Ben Laden.

My proposal? He should emulate the way he dealt with this particular problem, and apply it to others.

The economy is not working properly? Raid the offices of the leeching Wall Street gurus, whisk them away, preferably after having shot them for 'showing the intent to resist their lawful arrest'.

GOP representatives of the people are a mockery of intellect and reality? Send a team of Navy Seals in to teach them a lesson. Detain them in Eastern Europe or on an aircraft carrier. Waterboard them until they give up their extremist religious beliefs. Then detain them on Cuba for a while, so close to their socialist friends. They might learn the difference between the administration's proposals and actual socialism.

Granted, the approach may not be a universal medicine, but in some cases, it seems just about the only approach left to save mr. Obama from a deepening quagmire.
