That is a remote possibility, but not a plausible or likely one, IMO. I don't see what President Obama would really gain with such a conspiracy.

Sure, but my point is that even the President's liberal support has been slipping, and this type of action wouldn't do anything to endear him further. He hasn't really won anyone over anyway - poll reports are showing that he only gained 1% in his approval ratings and that most people credit the military--not the President--with the accomplishment. So he didn't really gain anything politically.
