Final Debate Memo to Mitt From Mark Alexander

2012-10-22-briefObama can't be trusted

Last week, I met with one of the brightest Republican Senators in Congress, a longtime friend. I asked him if he thought Obama's October surprise could be a "rice paper" agreement of some sort with Iran over their nuclear production program -- something to help Obama look like a strong "foreign policy president" ahead of his final debate on that subject with Mitt Romney.

 

We have asserted in The Patriot Post for weeks that Obama would pull this prospect out of his political hat. I even closing my 11 October essay, "Obama's October Surprise," with this note: "There are still four weeks for a diversionary 'October Surprise' to bolster Obama's stature as a 'foreign policy president.' Expect a 'rice-paper' (easily dissolvable) agreement from Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, puppet of Ali Khamenei, promising new negotiations on their uranium enrichment plans. Additionally, expect BO to drop a few 500 pounders on some peasant villages in Libya and claim direct hits against those who attacked our embassy -- since the diversionary 500 pounder they dropped on that anti-Islamic web video did not suffice."

 

We repeated this assertion in editions on 15 and 19 October.

 

My Senate friend replied, "It's not going to happen. Besides, we are running out of time for October surprises," proving yet again that even the smartest Republicans tend to underestimate the duplicity of Obama and his socialist cadres.
