Obama in 2016

For some time, I've suspected that the politically gifted and eloquent Barack Obama will indeed become a two-term president -- just not in consecutive terms.

The GOP has decided they prefer helping him to fail than helping the country to thrive. I'm sure the Dems prefer GOP failure to national prosperity. That's the dysfunction of our system, and it saddens me that too many of our suckers, I mean voters, are too dense to pick up on this.

The GOP will pull Obama down, as our nation suffers. Then they will reclaim the White House, and maybe Congress, and a vengeful Democratic party will then subvert GOP efforts to deal with the deficit, foreign threats, global competitiveness, and everything else.

Meanwhile, Obama will travel the world, develop an "I told you so" message, and pummel the GOP incumbent in 2016. Then, the GOP will mobilize to impeach him once and for all. America may go down the toilet as a failed democratic experiment, but we'll at least be entertained and titillated on a nightly basis -- and that's all that counts.
