Yes, there will be panic; I wonder how Obama will be treated. He’s considered a disgrace and the real problem solvers will probably want him out of power so they can at long last solve the entire mess that Obama created. As long as he’s in power nothing will be effectively resolved or strategized.
My guess is he will be used to the last drop and the masses will be told to admire him and they will. Suddenly, there will be a tragic accident. He will still be propped up and used like the bodies of Stalin and Mao. If it is necessary to turn on him, then bodies can still be used to let the masses vent their anger.
