I’ll say one thing about 0bama: When his term is over, from the national security standpoint, he’ll likely be seen as having protected the US really, really well. Because as long as his programs are going on and being slowly and relentlessly enacted into law, any enemy of the US would be utterly insane to disrupt that process. 0bama is doing their work for them, better than any of them could do on their own.
The Napoleon Axiom: “Never attack your enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself.”
