President Obama
Fuck. You.
Update: Obama's immediate hubris, arrogance and lack of nuance in the first week of his presidency confirms my greatest fear.
This is the end game for the left. They believe the 2008 election was the G.O.P.'s Waterloo.
They aren't just going to lead from the center in an attempt to maintain slim electoral majorities. They intend this to be the end. Obama believes they have enough momentum and majority to finish it and they will act with all the entitlement and lack of diplomacy that such a mentality implies.
Some predictions. They will, before the end of this term, remove the Senate rule that requires 60 votes to close debate; the so-called Nuclear Option. They will also attempt to bring back the Fairness Doctrine (as a commenter points out).
In their mind, this is the last 8 years of two-party Democracy in America. And why not? A bare majority of the population which will only grow with increased entitlements and (il)legal immigration. Soon, a majority of American's will take more from the government than they put in, ensuring that those that pay for government will be too few to change anything. They have a media so supportive that they come with an underwire.
They have every advantage and this time there will be no pussy-footing around. This is for keeps.
Don't say you weren't warned.
