I think you are on to something, let me add to it. As far as attacks, it is bound to happen when, I am not sure. But it will probably be in multiple locations at one time. Obama is ignoring our defenses and our borders, when an attack comes here he will able to declare Martial Law and remain defacto President (Dictator) until the threat is gone. I know this sounds crazy, but why would a man so politically savvy commit political suicide prior to mid-term elections and flagging poll numbers, unless he knows he really doesn't have to "campaign" anymore?!
