The way I see it, there is one way that Obama can rescue his reputation with the Right. That's to pre-empt Iran's nuclear ambition with a surgical strike. It would be his signature moment in history.
There is very little else he can do of any decisive import in the next two years. He cannot fix unemployment. He cannot fix the deficit. He cannot reduce spending. He cannot repair his reputation after killing the Bush tax cuts. He won't have any Supreme Court decisions making him look better. He cannot fix immigration. He cannot end Afghanistant. He'll get no bump from ending Iraq. He won't save the planet. He can't fix Palestine. He can't stop China.
All he can do is help Israel by being the big bad US and stomping out Ahmadinejad's nuclear program, and by doing so slap Putin in the face. He would have red states mouthing off for a while. But.
I think Obama must know this. And what I think the crafty bastard will do is wait until some NGO validates the existence of a WMD and puts it on Facebook, sometime in October of 2012.
