For Obama to go down, there must be a process that incriminates and then incriminates some more and then some more. There must be a continuous flood of evidence that infuriates and inflames the American public.

As a practical matter, before Obama appears on TV in handcuffs, he will show up in his new house in the South of France. He will self exile before being convicted

All of the interim steps to an Obama indictment are unlikely anyway, because the public outrage just isn't there and most likely won't be.

I grew up in Chicago, where a certain level of corruption was inevitable. That level of tolerance seems to have spread across the entire country, which leads to acceptance of bad behavior. At least on a one-sided basis.

I thought it got formalized with the concept of "Situational Ethics", which is the use of 4 and 5 syllable words to excuse away inherently bad behavior.
