You may remember I have been saying for some time that I think there is a possibility this man will not leave the WH in 2017... I have compared him - cautiously - with Stalin: narcissism > megalomania... this statement makes my blood run cold.

He said a few years ago that he could not constitutionally enact amnesty for illegals ... then proceded to do just that. Now he says the same thing about a 'third term': it is unconstitutional... AND, note that he did not say that he could not remain Prez -- he said he could not constitutionally run for the office...

He has already stated that he intends to remain in D.C. at the end of this term... Well, let us hope and pray that I am just a bit fruity and there are no symptoms of megalomania - or thirst for power - with the present office holder. (sigh)

Stalin gained position via an alliance with Lenin & Trotsky in a violent revolution. He later defeated Trotsky in the battle over Lenin's successor.

Obama's model is indeed a form megalomania, indeed, but he employed the Nazi--not Bolshevik--formula in the 2008 election. The tactical comparisons to Hitler will better fit your suggestions: Leftwing Chickens Coming Home.
