#3 It would be fitting if the body were hung upside down on a meat hook from the roof of a Citgo gas station.

#7 My real fear Barbara is what ideas this will give Zero.

He's already decided that the Constitution means what HE says it means. What will happen when he decides that he can run for re-election again and again and again just like his idol 'ugo?

He may want, but enough of his own party won't support such openly lawless behaviour. Besides, they're already talking up Hillary Clinton.

I'd hesitate before going "all in" on that one TW.

#11 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is busting at the seams to run for president in 2016, I would expect him to make "the one" an offer he can't refuse.

By the way TW, that's Brujo, not bruja. Wizard, not witch-there is a difference.

#12 Back in the good old days of US brinksmanship diplomacy, we would have done pretty much the same thing but it would be his HEAD on a plaque on the wall of either J F Dulles or his brother Allen, I don't know if Ronnie would have done it but I know he pretty much had the same attitude about lefty dictators in South American...

#13 Besoeker, I agree with your warning. "His" party has gone along with so much openly lawless behavior on his part that I wouldn't put anything past them.

My apologies, BrujoTejano. Is it only a male/female thing, or are there different skills or areas of interest involved? And please remind me, as my memory seems more porous than usual today, how I happened to make that error.

I agree 100%. I think there are plenty of people of good faith who still vote Dem, and just haven't been kicked in the nads hard enough yet.

Plus - I've made this point before - Obozo is just too lazy, because he thinks the presidency is his birthright. "The one we have been waiting for," as he put it himself in 2008. He sees himself as the pre-ordained, inevitable apex of the Hegelian dialectic. He knows his minions will bust their humps, and expects them to. But as for himself, Obama believes that just being Obama is enough.

From being elected president of Harvard Law Review to winning re-election in 2012, every position he's lucked into has only reinforced that delusion. Being a dictator is hard work, requiring significant personal effort that Obozo just doesn't have in him. I think the very idea would shock him. Much more likely that he'll concoct a self-serving narrative about how he gave his all for 8 years to an ungovernable country that just wasn't ready for his messianic genius, and then go find a nice comfy crowd of fawning boot-lickers on the lecture circuit.

Just my $0.02.

#18 His wife, however, I feel would be more active, golf less, and could defeat Hillary! in the primaries.

#20 Another in a long line of pickled dictators.
