Amateur Year Continues at White House

Obama has once again showed the American people how little he understands about politics. In his recent decision to put KSM on trial in New York for his roll in 9/11, President Obama has gone into an area that is very hard to explain. He has put himself into a situation that he can’t win.

Very amateurish.

Obama had two paths he could follow. Each path had two different outcomes and would affect him three different ways depending on which group of people are asked.

The two different outcomes are KSM gets found guilty and probably put to death or he gets acquitted and released.

Path 1A: Put him on trail in the very military court that the Democrat controlled congress developed for such trials. He is found guilty.

Liberals: Wouldn’t be happy. They wanted all this turned into a criminal trial. Besides, a civilian trial could embarrass Bush. (Obama loses, but his nut-roots base would still support him. So basically, he wins)

Moderates: Would be happy. They don’t want this guy or any like him committing such unspeakable acts of war again. (Obama wins, moderates see him in a more favorable light.)

Conservatives: They don’t like him anyway and this wouldn’t change that. (Obama wins because he robs conservatives of a talking point or even a rallying cry for the next elections.)

Path 1B: Put him on trail in the very military court that the Democrat controlled congress developed for such trials. He is found not guilty.

Right… next topic

Path 2A: Put him on trial in civilian court and give this piece of diaper filler all the rights that an American citizen gets. He is found guilty.

Liberals: Would be happy. They wanted all this turned into a criminal trial. Remember that to them, we are not in a legitimate war. (Obama wins, but his wing nuts have supported him no matter what. They just love him more now.)

Moderates: Would be nervous. They would have months of hand-wringing while they wait to see if he gets that conviction. They remember that sometimes juries get it wrong. Remember OJ? (Obama loses, moderates see him as getting lucky when it should never have come to this.)

Conservatives: They don’t like him anyway and this would only inflame that. (Obama loses because conservatives get to beat him up about this for the length of the trial.)

Path 2B: Put him on trial in civilian court and give this piece of dog squeeze all the rights that an American citizen gets. He is found not guilty.

Forget it. The Democratic Party is remembered as the party that once had more than a few seats in congress and we think they even had a president in office way back in the early 21st century. Seriously, the Democratic Party may never recover from such a disaster.

What could go wrong?

1. Throw out evidence because there were no Miranda rights read.
2. Throw out confessions because of supposed torture.
3. Discovery leading to part of our intelligence network being upended.
4. An attack on the courthouse as a display for the world press.
5. A Judge or jury members being threatened for the rest of their lives.
6. One (1) Muslim on the jury deciding he could never vote to convict one of his own.
7. The wonderful peaceful religion of Islam holding violent demonstrations in NYC.

I could go on and on. This may go down as one of the dumbest moves in politics ever. PBO is in a no win situation and he put himself there.
