Obama is not a "minor player" now as Rove falsely states....nor will he be one in the near future. He's a dedicated communist and will not sit around sucking his thumb for the remainder of his term in office.
Communists never rest on their laurels. They never abandon their agenda. He's been very successful so far in getting embedded much of the wealth re-distribution and nationalization projects he embarked upon almost five years ago. He'll be a danger to this Republic up till the last day of his final presidential years.....and no doubt even on his last day he'll pardon every terrorist we hold in captivity plus all his traitorous and corrupt political cronies lolling in Club Feds across the fruited plain.
Remember 'executive orders'.....stroke of the pen, law of the land. With this authority he can wreak havoc till his last moments in the White House implementing only his busy little writing pen.

It may be that is what Rove wants us to believe... When do you believe Generalissimo Ob@ma's 'last moments in the White House' might be? :-/
