TW: There are cynical and uncomfortable realities in politics. The worse Iraq got in 2006 the better it was for the Dems in the mid-term election. The worse the economy gets over the next few weeks the more leeway Obama will have to shape policy, but at some point this summer the same dynamic will shift to helping the Republicans (one will know exactly when that shift occurs when the conservative economists start raising concerns about the economy instead of downplaying them as they do now). The Republicans benefited politically from 9/11, they are certainly positioning themselves to do so again should another attack ever occur.
