Just random musings, but, one has to wonder if this whole kerfuffle was what Team Obama and the Donkeys intended. Consider what has virtually disappeared from the news and blogs, or been relegated to minor stories:
- getting blown out in the mid-term elections – losing the House, a ton of governorships, and a lot of state legislatures
- Dems re-electing Nancy Pelosi to her leadership position, despite her being a big reason for the loss, and all the infighting
- the Obama blame for losing the mid-terms
- the Obama clueless reasoning for losing the mid-terms
- the coming tax hikes, and the fight to re-authorize the current tax rates
- the Democrat lame duck legislation
On the bright side, we are getting fewer stories from the MSM regarding how mean the Republicans are (despite the People voting them in). One has to wonder if the whole TSA groping issue was intended as a November surprise. Then again, perhaps I’m giving the administration too much credit, and, like the ObamaCare and stimulus boondoggles, what is happening at airport screening is simply unintended consequences.
Rush says that the Dem strategy is to ignore the election results and continue with business as usual as if nothing occured. This diffuses the situation. If they acknowledged the election or any aspect of it, then that would continue the news cycle and keep it alive.
As to the TSA, they don’t know what they are doing, so it is impossible to determine what they are thinking. As far as I am concerned, I would prefer to be on a plane with a terrorist to being terrorized by our government. Get rid of the TSA, restore the 4th amendment. Profile Muslims.
Worst case conspiracy would be to bankrupt the airlines, like the auto companies, and then have the government step in to “save” them.
