I’m praying that Obama will surprise me and turn out better than James Buchanan.

At this point, I think that will take a "Dallas" TV-series style "it has all been a bad dream" event to occur! I don't know how you have a mass-illusion of this magnitude - but it currently makes Houdini and Copperfield look like Saturday afternoon birthday party jesters!

I'm thinking more along the lines of the Newhart "What a terrible dream" episode.

It would be very cool if a federal court rules that Obama’s recess appointment were unconstitutional and thus all their actions were invalid - and added “by the way, Obama’s alleged inaugurations were also unconstitutional and thus invalid and all his actions and signed bills are also null and void”. I don’t expect it, but a repeal of the spreading socialism and totalitarianism would make me happy for life.
