Korea and American Political Craziness
Like everybody else, I'm wondering WTF is going on in Korea.
I obviously don't know anything about Korea...but I'm going to make a prediction about something I do, unfortunately, have some knowledge of: I'm going to predict that the fever swamps are going to find some way to blame this on Obama/use it as evidence of his badness.
I hope I'm wrong, but there's my prediction.

My wager is a bit more specific than yours:
The crazies use his rational, sane response to this incident against him for not being sufficiently America/Jesus-crazed.
You know, he'll say something to the effect that he believes America is truly exceptional and they'll claim that he thinks America is not only just like every other country on Earth, but that it's especially like the really bad ones.
Bold prediction. Here's another: Tomorrow, the sun will rise.
Well, if they can blame him for the economic crisis, for raising their taxes (which he didn't), and for being a socialist, they can easily blame him for this. After all, if we were constantly saber-rattling, the North Koreans wouldn't be shooting across the border. Despite the historical fact that they do this periodically no matter who's in charge in America.
