This is ours today:
What if Barack Obama finishes his tenure with nothing more than the kind
of minor and mid-size controversies that beset any president? Can you
imagine the pain conservatives will feel if we arrive at January 2016,
Obama boards Air Force One for one last trip home to Chicago, and this
was all there was? If there was no impeachment, no super-scandal that
would stand alongside Watergate and Iran-Contra, no public reckoning for
the endless crimes they imagine he has committed? Just picture them
watching Obama smile and wave, his two terms done, with much to be proud
of and his reputation intact, while they sit before their televisions,
white-knuckled fists crushing tricorner hats into shapeless, defeated
clumps of torn felt and cardboard, all that rage undiminished and
unredeemed.
Custom-made for a day-dreamin' boy...
