Obama needs to do 2 things to succeed. He needs to po everybody and change the focus. Drop DADT and
request a draft. He had to reroute troops on the way to the gulf to get some bodies into Haiti. The armed force are broken and need to be rebuilt.

Congress may foil both requests, but it sure as hell will shift the focus to the problems and off the teabagger shouting from the sidelines.

1. How about
instead of starting up the draft, shutting down these useless and pointless wars?

5. Thanks. I was just about to ask the same thing.
How the hell can he drop DADT? He's never picked it up yet.

6. I mean that he should ban DADT from the armed forces and at the same time request a draft.
This will set the M$M into a tail spin. It will piss off almost every group but... will focus the population on our really problems.

3. That's one idea
An insane idea but one nonetheless.
