Will Obama Follow Bush's Example?

I saw the attached photo in a news feed and it got me thinking....

When Bush's approval ratings were in the toilet, it is feasible that he could have orchestrated the events of 9/11 to give him an opportunity to rally the country around him to take on a perceived common enemy. Now Obama has bad approval ratings himself. And he was seen today at the 9/11 ceremony with Bush.

Now, presidents seem to have a level of respect for each other because of the nature of the office, and tend to work together after they leave office despite political differences. Do you think Bush would give Obama tips on how to pull off a 9/11 style attack on the US to help Obama get popular support? And... do you think Obama is like Bush, who seems like he would be willing to sacrifice several thousand civilian american lives for his own political gain?

For what it is worth, I am not saying that it was a government conspiracy to boost Bush's ratings. And that is not the question. For this poll, I would just say that the theory is plausible... and if one can accept the scenario for a moment for the sake of this poll, would you think that Obama would be inclined to try an action like that himself?
