What will Obama's next chess move be?

[Clintonista2]

Any guesses?

[Deja Q]

1. To resign and let Secretary of State Clinton become the President?

[NMMNG]

2. Defend DADT?

It would be horrible for troop morale to worry about gay men staring at them in the showers, and to know that the dude they're sharing a foxhole with likes the buttseks. Maintaining the status quo of giving ex-convicts "moral waivers" is far preferable to letting highly qualified queers in to disrupt the system. :sarcasm:



PS: My wife is going off to sleep and is too lazy to get back up and type her answer which is "King takes Queen...illegally".

5. That would be my guess as well. NT

[bluedawg12]

6. To have Sam Nunn testify

in favor of DADT.

[DURHAM D]

13. And Colin Powell. nt

[billyoc]

3. Austerity measures that will destroy the social safety net.

You know, just to be bipartisan.

[ThomCat]

10. Exactly. After giving our treasury to the banks, claim that we're too poor

to help the desperately poor. We can only go into debt to help the rich.

[JohnnyLib2]

4. Soothing words.

Whether that move is adequate remains to be seen. ;(

[msongs]

7. give bibles to everyone and tell us that's all we need to know? nt

[foxfeet]

8. He'll glue at least some of the pieces to the chessboard.

Guess which ones.

[QC]

9. Blow up West Virginia's remaining mountains,

at which point his acolytes will tell us that this is actually a fiendishly clever strategy to save the mountains.

[closeupready]

11. lol, funny but probably true.

:D

[donco6]

12. Scathingly brilliant!

What a move? Who could have anticipated THAT?

[friedgreentomatoes]

16. Do you have some more of these hidden up in your sleeves?

First the 'eating baby" then this one. any more? or are you saving them to use one-a-thread!

:thumbsup:

[QC]

17. OK, how's this one.

Obama will systematically (and for no reason in particular) alienate a loyal Democratic constituency that could well have provided his narrow margin of victory in several swing states.

Oh wait....

[friedgreentomatoes]

20. .

:P

[Clintonista2]

18. I see the brilliance in that. He really is thinking ten steps ahead!

He can save the economy by selling the chunks of rock!

[DarkTirade]

14. Well, I'm sure we can afford to lose another few pawns to the greater strategy, right?

:\

[sui generis]

15. redefine "change"

nt

[kenny blankenship]

19. Now we know: Obama affirms committment to sign repeal of DOMA

Not that he's going to lift a finger to get that going,
BUT,
IF,
the House AND the Senate decide to repeal DOMA, he will go along and bravely sign it.
