I don't think Hussein will serve out his term.

That I think is more of a realistic possibility than impeachment and removal. 0bama, unlike Clinton, has shown no inclination to move to the center to save himself. Even if the GOP wins only the House of Representatives he will no longer have a Congress that rubber stamps anything he wants.

If the GOP does the right thing and defunds most of the government, then 0bama is going to be quite bored the next 2 years.

I don't think Obama will be bored. I think he will try to rule through his czars as much as possible and use sources of funds that are not subject to Congressional appropriation like the revolving TARP balance, the new consumer affairs agency and the Fed. He won't be able to do everything but he will be able to bring on a Constitutional crisis between the Congress and the Administration over who runs the country.

I'd like to expand my remarks. I think the chance that he will resign or be impeached are better than 50%.

He will be increasingly unpopular as time goes on. Let's look ahead for 12 months:

1. Something bad is going to happen overseas, Afghanistan, Iran, Korea, China, Pakistan or any number of other flash points would stress Hussein and drive his popularity down. Remember what Biden said "it might look like we are doing the wrong thing".

2. There is a good possibility of another successful domestic terror attack. Hussein thinks that "we can absorb it" This "who cares" attitude will not serve him well.

3. If the tax cuts aren't extended, and I don't think they will be, a new recession/depression is virtually guaranteed.

4. Issa will keep up his investigations, and the results will be devastating.

His popularity will go straight down. The dems will be in revolt, having been led off the cliff once, they won't want to go off again in 2012. Hillary will mount a challenge. Hussein will be impeached or quit.

“If the GOP does the right thing and defunds most of the government, then 0bama is going to be quite bored the next 2 years.”

As long as there are vacations to take and books about himself to read, our Dear Leader will NEVER be bored.
