What if you woke up in the morning and found out that the civil war in
Iraq and Syria had spread to Jordan?
"The Syrian civil war is no longer the Syrian civil war. It’s a regional
war that started in Syria, has expanded into Lebanon and Iraq, and has
drawn in the Iranians and to a lesser extent the Kurds and the Israelis.
Wars in North Africa tend to stay local, but wars in the Levant spill
over and suck in the neighbors. There’s no reason to believe this war
has finished expanding or that an end is in sight." - Michael J. Totten

I just noticed the latest Gallup Poll. Obama sank bellow G W Bush and
even Carter in favorability rating. Highest of living presidents was
Clinton with 64%, followed by GHW Bush with 63%. Next was W at 53% and
Carter with 52%. Obama brought up the tail with 47% but he still has
another year and a half to go. At the rate, could easily end in the
20% range if he isn't impeached first.
