Paul the 'Octopus Oracle' Could Do Worlds for Obama

 

"The miracle octopus could be a critical factor in administration decisions about undermining the Iranian nuclear project, and enable the president to choose the best way to deal with North Korea. … Undoubtedly, Paul the octopus will find fertile ground in the White House, where he can devote his talents and instincts to predicting the political future."

Could there be a future in the White House for Paul the Oracle Octopus?

A multi-appendaged soft marine creature has become more famous than Barack Obama, Angelina Jolie and Madonna. His still infallible instincts enabled him to predict the results of the World Cup by choosing the winning teams, which qualifies him to take a senior position in the White House as an important adviser to the president. The miracle octopus [Paul the Octopus] could be a critical factor in administration decisions about undermining the Iranian nuclear project, be it through negotiation or war, and enable the president to choose the best way to deal with North Korea: the Cruise or the Tomahawk … or an even better way, perhaps!

[Editor's Note: The Tomahawk is just one type of cruise missile].

 

It is well known that throughout history, the opinions of oracles have been sought before plans were implemented, the most famous example being the French seer Nostradamus, who was among the wealthiest and most important people on the French court due to his world-famous visions. We also have the priest and soothsayer Rasputin, who was a close friend of Tsarina of Russia Catherine the Great and a trusted advisor to the nobility. There also reports confirming that before the defeat of June 1967 [The Six-Day War], some Arab politicians rely on the views of astrologers and fortune tellers regarding military issues.

Undoubtedly, Paul the octopus will find fertile ground in the White House, where he can devote his talents and instincts to predicting the political future. He might even go beyond political issues and opine on the qualifications of Bo the presidential dog to perform his duties and suggest the best crops to be planted in Michelle Obama’s White House garden, to say nothing of helping assess American public opinion on Obama's performance on various hot topics, such as the trade-offs of choosing Ayad Allawi or Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim to preside over the [Iraqi] Green Zone. As far as the Red Zones are concerned, the White House is less interested.
