“We don’t need to destroy Obama, fixing him in position will be sufficient (and potentially entertaining).”
Wrong. Do some delving into just how much damage he’s set in motion (with much more to come) through executive orders, certain cabinet heads (environmental, homeland security, commerce, etc.) and czars - completely circumventing congress and soon, even the SCOTUS. On that subject, how much more likely if he wins a second term, that he’ll appoint at least one more SC justice.
Oh YES, the presidential election does very much matter.
Obama without a democratically controlled HOR and Senate is a totally different President. At that point, you might say, we own him.
