Conspiracy?

So, I got to listen to Rush Limbaugh's show yesterday.  It was open line Friday and wasn't very interesting, actually.  But then Rush related something he'd heard from another source (sorry, didn't catch the source).  This source speculated that rising unemployment could help Obama in November.   I know.  That sounds totally counterintuitive.  How could a worsening economy help Obama?  But Rush explained it.  He pointed out that more and more unemployed and underemployed people means more and more people looking to government for help.  And who is promising more and more government entitlements?  Obama!  People who are on the edge, scared, and feeling like there's no hope can be very susceptible to Obama's class warfare, government-is-here-to-help-you message.  Such people would be very tempted to vote for benefits over values.  That's how a weakening economy could help the president on election day.  And I'm sure the preceding scenario hasn't escaped Obama and his team.  So, is Obama deliberately letting, or even making, the economy run down to help his re-election chances?  I don't want to be conspiratorial but I can't put anything past the current occupant of the White House.

You are wise to not want to put anything past Obama. He will do anything and everything to get his point of view to the forefront and get himself re-elected. Scary a thought as that is....it isn't an impossible feat, as Rush pointed out. I saw the article that he was talking about......but I couldn't find it just now to put the link to it here. I will continue to look.

Nothing is beneath the worst, most corrupt and cancerous potus this nation has ever seen. I trust the rational and the reasoned manage to outnumber the dependent, the lazy, the sheeple, and the dead and illegal voters in November.
