CW-II: Several simple things which could start it

Try to picture it... Barack Oinkbama walks up to yours truly and says



Assuming I wanted to provide an honest answer, I'd reply "Well, Oinky, there are at least four or five things I could think of offhand..."

1. Try to steal the last two or three elections needed for a so-called filibuster-proof majority in the U.S. senate. Oh.... wait a minute:

2. Try to investigate, persecute, or prosecute members of the Bush administration for political "crimes". There's been no shortage of talk about this one in the news. It may turn into a question of whether or not Obama can resist the pressure:

It's an unwritten part of the system that outgoing administrations are immune from this kind of happy horseshit and indeed it's not easily possible to understand how the system could work at all were that not the case, for obvious reasons.

3. Start talking about creating a national acorn militia of some sort with funding equal to that of the U.S. military. Oh, wait a minute:

4. Try to eliminate conservative talk radio, i.e. the so-called "fairness doctrine(TM)" and/or bring the entire internet under some sort of a democrat/new-age system of controls.

5. Try to create 12,000,000 instant new democrat "citizens" by granting citizenship to all present illegal immigrants en masse and thus instantaneously reduce pubbies to third party status at least in theory. How seriously anybody might be contemplating this one is unclear.


The good news is that the only one of these items which Obama might have any personal ego investment in at all would be item 3 which is almost certainly just hot air. At least you'd hope....

I don't see good or even bad as real possibilities for an Obama presidency; the choices are going to be really, really bad (ugly), and catastrophic, and I'm hoping that fear of going into history books as the guy who started and lost CW-II might serve as some sort of a motivator. I'm hoping for ugly.
