I think you are leaving out the Ebola factor and panic in the US. If Ebola takes hold there will be uprisings all over the US. Big changes will have to take place. Obama will become a non entity and the working class will demand changes.
History and human nature teach us that when there is widespread misery and panic, people will accept any and every form of tyranny in order to establish "order" with the promise of provision.
Don't think for a second that Obama and the MarxoFascists are not ready to 'save us' from calamity, one they helped foster and create. It's what every Marxist revolution needs to establish their iron-fisted rule over a people.
I believe Obama and his ilk understand history very well, and collapsing our economy atop our heads and creating mass misery and panic fits with his transformative agenda.
