Lowering Presidential Expectations
There have been some exciting suggestions about how the format of television debates between Republican presidential candidates can be improved. There is considerable enthusiasm for the idea that every time a candidate gives a dumb answer the debate moderator activates a trapdoor to lower his or her expectations. Research indicates that the public much prefers this instant fall from grace to having to wait for a drop in the opinion polls. There was an especially positive reaction to the concept of adding a trapdoor activation button to home pay television packages.

There is still optimism that Obama’s past experience in Chicago could be the key to him resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict. The view is that if he sent the Rev Wright on a mission over there it could cause the two sides to unite in an ecclesiastical program to restore religion to the US.
Work in Progress
It is an amazing statistic that thirty-six percent of people still approve of Obama’s handling of the jobs crisis. The other sixty-four percent believe he caused it.
