I really think you may be onto something there, Steve. I noticed he mentioned Iran and the treatment of the people there in his speech. Our oil interests seemed to simple; even finishing daddy's job seemed a little to simple to me -- but Iran, hmmm.

I tried to watch his "Lies of the Union" address, but I found myself turning away often. Just more rhetoric and nationalistic propaganda, and it really made me angry that everyone kept applauding. Now, this morning I'm hearing about what a "great job" he did. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
