Except that the captain of the Titanic went down with the ship. I thought you began the analogy by saying that you didn't expect Obama to finish his term. He would be abandoning his ship after he damaged it but before it went down.

I'm curious as to why you think he'd not finish his term. If he walks away, he'd be labeled a quitter like they did to Sarah Palin when she resigned as governor of Alaska.

If Obama stays and loses, he can still run again in the future for a second term (like Grover Cleveland). If he walks away from his first term, nobody will elect him again in the future.

The analogy was about a single point: No matter who the captain is, the ship is going down. His powers are very limited.

Me, I’m using deck chairs and nails to make my family’s own life raft. I’m not that interested in who the captain is.
