It remains to be seen whether that will turn out to be a cause for celebration.
Well I, for one, will remain optimistic. Nobody could screw up this country, than the current White House monkey.....er president.
Here's some optimism for you: Owebama is constantly pushing the American people so that we eventually rebel against his Big Daddy Government BS. Once there is a rebellion, martial law is enacted. (Hell, it coulde be a Reichstag Fire/Assassination of Sergei Kirov moment as well.) Then Owebama, not a big fan of the Constitution and its 'negative liberties for the Government', ignores the 22nd Amendment. Seriously, with our 'spines of jello would be an improvement' Republicans, who would stop him?
I'm not discounting this potentiality, but I will note that I remember people saying the same thing about Bill Clinton, and then Lefties said the same thing about George W. Bush.
I think it is a testimony to the American people's innate understanding of how fragile the compact between citizen and government really is. We understand that there are events that can take place that could devolve into full-on malevolent tyranny very quickly. When we see a President behaving in a way that shows contempt for that compact according to our own view, our minds naturally go to the martial law/tyrant scenario.
I happen to agree that something like this is more likely now under this President than at any other time of which I'm aware. I'm just noting that Obama isn't the only or first to have this suspicion cast upon him.
