I hope so- except Obama was elected by mob mentality, MSM and guilty Liberals in the midst of an economic meltdown that will have individuals looking for scapegoats. And we have already seen Obama use his power of wise-crack insults against Hillary and get away with it because he has the language skills of popular culture which is the newspeak of our politics- sort of like Latin and French use to be the language of diplomacy and the educated classes. The mob protects its idols. MSM protects its sources of revenue. Guilty Liberals protect their conscience/soul.
