In one of the posts above by parablesblog , he speaks of how the halftime show at the Superbowl "was marked by darkness and flames."

I didn't watch the Superbowl or the commercials, but apparently fire was a central theme of the game.

I was looking for articles dealing with this theme and just found the following:

Obama just wants to watch the world burn
[link to www.washingtontimes.com]

These were the last few lines of that article:

When lawmakers were engaged in fierce, partisan negotiations, the president could have said: “I see this as this huge opportunity, and it’s being squandered by politics, by people who are more interested in a political victory than they are in doing what’s right for the country.”

But he didn’t. Who did?

Mitt Romney. Whatever his shortfalls, at least he doesn’t want to see the world burn. “The hardest thing about losing is watching this, this critical moment, this golden moment, just slip away with politics,” he said.

Makes you wonder where the country would be right now if Americans had elected him. But for those who thought him a fool, at least he wasn’t The Joker.
