I’m sorry if I came across patronizing. It was exactly not my intention. I found the question to be pertinent and something worth thinking about.
That said, I believe it would be possible if by some miracle the currently-leftist press would start actually reporting on what Dear Reader is saying and providing the context which would prove he is either insane or jonesing for Master Criminal of the 21st Century. They’re not looking like being willing to go there, so the necessary public heat is not going to be generated, even if conservative Republicans win back the House or Senate or both. The press will continue to carry water for tyrants because the mainstream press is deeply in love with the concept of being court herald to the King. They know that there’s only so many spots on that roster and they’re pretty sure that, if they keep reporting like they are, they’d be the only candidates considered for the post. The only way to make sure that happens is to support every nationalizing or liberty-depriving measure that comes along, something that suits Dear Reader just fine.
So, I’d say the answer is “I very much wish it could be so, but I believe it is improbable under current and foreseeable conditions”.
All that said, I believe that the right-wing blogosphere and columnists are doing all they can to generate whatever heat can be ginned up. That the TEA Party is such a force is partly a derivative of that effort (those folks were pretty upset all on their own, and having Sean, Glenn, Rush, et. al. joining in simply provided matter for their fury). So, there is going to be a significant political event this fall. Will it bring down the current Administration? I’m not at all sure about that. I’m almost certain that a filibuster-proof Senate is not in the cards for either party, so anything anybody proposes, including impeachment, given a significant Republican advance in November, will simply not happen. The minority in the Senate will always block it up. If that minority is Democratic, then the mainstream press will laud them, applaud them, give them airtime, bring up every ad hoc misleading element to every story necessary to taint any Republican attempt at reform.
In a word, it’s going to be ugly, but at least they won’t be piling on new disasters. The outyears of the already-enacted disasters have not yet really been felt. By 2012, the effects of what Pelosi/Reid have done will be clear and nobody will be happy. So things might well change then.
But that does mean nobody was able to force Obama to resign. I expect that this is the probable future in the case.
Of course, Obama could have a Road to Damascus moment somehow. It’s just that we’re pretty sure God only intervenes for eternal purposes and our current discomfort isn’t even on a par with what God permitted Russia to be subjected to for decades. I’m expecting Obama will be blissfully unaware and definitely uninterested in redemption or even the need for self-examination in this respect. Even if every American got down on his or her knees and pleaded, Obama will not resign voluntarily, IMHO.

Apology humbly accepted.
I agree that this current crop of “media personalities” and the Hollyweird goofballs are unlikely to grow a brain. Fortunately, they are playing to a very select and very small (and getting smaller) audience. It is my fondest hope that the next generation of journalists will not be able to suspend belief based on fact enough to join this shrinking group of liars and self-promoters. Also, we have resources that weren’t available 30 years ago. I think that this has empowered us in ways the left cannot stand or UNDER stand. These people come out of college, where they have been under the control and spoon fed by committed leftists, face the legitimate questions and concerns of those who do not agree and are seriously flummoxed. It’s not a good place to start.
I guess I agree that there is nothing to be done about this phenomenal mistake that is the Obama administration. But it cannot be forgotten that he is simply the “head” of a pimple that has been growing for a very long time. It will be a while before it, and its scar, are a memory. I swear, I must stand before God everyday and beg His forgiveness for the hatred I bear the left. I guess I was just reacting out of absolute frustration when I originally posted. The latest outrage- the DOJ and the Black Panther case- is just my most recent howl “How much MORE can we stand??!”
We are headed for DC on Aug 28 for Glenn Beck’s rally and I am hoping that it is, at least, as big and amazing as last year’s Tea Party. My guess? It will be huge. I’m begging everyone I talk to to stay fired-up. We have so much to lose if we don’t.
