“I am worried that he will try to make himself “President for Life” like his buddy Hugo Chavez.”

Does anyone seriously think the guys with the guns will let him do such a thing. You can only stay in office without constitutional authority by appealing to force and you have no force if the military won't provide it. We can pretty much count on our officer corps to disrupt any overt effort to subvert the constitutional transfer of power. Any effort to make Obama President for Life would end the way similar efforts ended in Honduras this year and Chile in 1973.

There's a lot to worry about in this world, but worrying about Obama canceling elections is a waste of energy. Not gonna happen.

I tend to agree. Obozo won’t make himself president for life but he has already gone a long way toward dulling GOP threats in the future.
