If I were a member of the Repub. Pioneers club, I'd do my best to sabotage Obama and then pick up the pieces.

They will. And if I were Obama, I would shoot first. I don't think he will even think about buying a gun. Sigh.

It's too bad. Given the record of the Bush administration and of pretty much every big-shot decision-makers (Wall Street, the Media(TM), etc.) for the past 7 years, there's an embarrassment of riches to pick from and prosecute the Republican Party and US conservatives out of existence. But it would have to be swift and particularly ruthless. Not gonna happen.
