#1 Just add "The least trusted politician since Nero."

No, I did not drink the "Cool Aid" is going to be heard around America when this man's name is mentioned after August 2013...Nixon resigned in Aug 09, 1974.

#2 The only way Obama is going to leave the White House before his term is up is in a pine box.

No way he resigns.

#3 I agree Badanov, he'll be in the very last boat lowered. My fear is wounded, cornered, and ineffective, he will do something wildly outrageous. This is a very dangerous fellow.

#4 The only way Obama is going to leave the White House before his term is up is in a pine box.

Are we to believe that one who has repeatedly shown utmost disdain for both USA's written constitution and unwritten customs, will respect the 22 amendment?

#5 Sadly, you could be correct g(r)om. The setting up of instruments of tyranny certainly cannot be denied. When he provided unelected advisors Secret Service protection, I began suspecting a shadow government.

#6 It may come down to -who does the secret service swear an oath to?

#7 Depends. If the Donks chances for the 2014 start to look like the chart of the 1929 Crash, self preservation may kick in Congress. That's about the only scenario in which he leaves early. Of course the Stupid Party will not expend its resources on hammering the crimes and thus the illegitimacy of the expanded government powers to really make it hurt. That's part of their problem with being members of the Beltway Party. Power over principle. Like the Paleos, they'll take the opportunity to pass up an opportunity.

#8 SECRET SERVICE OATH OF OFFICE: "I, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

#9 That's a nice oath, Uncle P., but I seem to remember Bambi took an oath to unhold the Constitution as well - and we've seen how that worked out. >:-(

Guess it depends on which SS agents' fealty is to our Constitution, and which agents' actual fealty is to their WH Massa. We know where their "leadership's" loyalty lies.

#10 Geez Nile, where were you when his leadershipness leaked the secrets of UK nuclear submarines? Or have you not noticed the passive-aggressive style of collectivism where policy is determined by pre-approved and anonymous leaks?

Out of the blue, eh? Quelle surprise? Well, welcome aboard, I'll check and see if there is a cabin available.

PS. Mark Lavin is illegal to read, thoughtcrime and all.

#11 Re #10:

"unhold" = "uphold"

Jeez - Freudian slip much?

#12 Re Camps recent statement:

His "megadata" vs the correct spelling of PRISM metadata... No Freudian slip.
