Bingo. I don't sleep at night when I think of Obama's 'potential' to really go to the dark side. Lots of paths open for him to do so - you name the scenario. Let's just hope there are enough checks and balances in Washington D.C. and enough people that are really keeping a close eye on him, e.g., the Pentagon, NSA, maybe the saner minds at the FBI. I see Obama as a national security risk that bears close watch. Let's hope it is happening.

I can't believe in my lifetime I would ever worry about a sitting president is this way, but I do. . . I might add I used to worry about the Clintons, but nothing like Obama.
