He could run naked down Pennsylvania avenue with a bong in one hand and a bottle of Jack in the other and it could not “trip him up” in the eyes of 20% or so of the population.
It’s all over for him anyway; he knows it, Michelle knows it, the entire Democratic Party knows it (and is looking forward to getting rid of him as well), and even his fawning media knows it. The twenty percent that will stand beside him no matter what will quite frankly be powerless and chances are Obama will be welcome among them and he can spend the rest of his days either overseas or in Hollywood rhapsodizing about his years and spouting off in front of brainless idiots with too much money and time on their hands. He’s already crippled the US economy so it’s not like he has any reason to stay any longer other than to do even more damage and laugh up his sleeve. More than anything, there is a huge chance that he’s given up and just wants to enjoy the benefits while he still can.
