Obama is irrelevant at this point. He is the lamest of lame ducks and the Nixon comparisons grow by the day.

Assuming the rule of law still applies to Obama and his Marxist machine. You should go back and read about Louisiana politics during the days of populist Governor, Huey P. Long. He ran the state as his private fiefdom, treated state property as his own for purposes of profit taking (his heirs still receive oil and gas royalties from state lands, through no risk leases which he granted to himself), treated state funds as his own for purposes of buying political support for himself and his cronies, and could pass virtually any desired legislation through machine control of the state government apparatus. He would destroy his political opponents through the state court system, regulatory agencies, and legislation. And when the day came that he determined to do the same thing at the NATIONAL level, he used his machine to secure the US Senate for himself (as a stepping stone to the Presidency), WHILE STILL RULING LOUISIANA THROUGH CRONIES WHOM HE WOULD RAISE TO THE GOVERNORSHIP.

Fortunately, Long was assassinated on the capital steps by a physician whose family Long had ruined. Otherwise, the Long dynasty might have gone far.

Obama has built the same type of pay to play populist machine - but at the national level. I will be very surprised if he goes quietly. If the Dem's win through voter fraud, etc in 2014, Obama will find a way to stay.

While Obama certainly shares the Kingfish’s penchant for corruption and venality, at least ‘ole Huey was more of a people person. No one could claim the old boy did not love the back-slapping and “constituent outreach” aspect of the office. And the Kingfish’s cronies could at least count on him to help them out politically. Obama won’t even share his vaunted data mining operation with potential Democrat candidates. He is all about himself and I think even those closest to him now realize just how empty his suit is. He is inept—a complete and utter mediocrity.
