Asteroid Will Make Close Pass To Earth

Not this time, the article says it is expected to pass between us and Geostationary orbit. Even if it does impact intact, the worst the damage could be would be comparable to the Tunguska event.

Depending on location, it could be very bad, but not an extinction event. You are right though, if it was bigger, we would be screwed. Not even Bruce Willis could save us with one year notice.

If it does hit, maybe it will convince those with the cash that asteroid defense is a worthwhile expense.
