Keep your ears trained to spot when humor becomes more visible in our emails. That is when people will be feeling a bit more comfortable with the government, and Obama specifically. As long as the Senate Minority Leader states his singular goal is to make Obama a single-term president, obviously he has carried out the attempt regardless of the destruction to the rest of the country.

In recent decades, the power of the presidency has been extended far beyond what the framers of the constitution had in mind. If you mostly agree with the president, this may not seem troubling. But political fortunes can change on a dime, and the next president could be someone whom you strongly disagree with, at which point the imperial presidency will look much less attractive.
Part of the rationale for the principle of separation of powers is that the power of every branch of the government should have checks and balances. We would do well to heed the wisdom of the framers of the constitution on this point.
