"I think Obama will come out swinging..."

He'd better. If not, your worst nightmare will happen. Bush, stupid as he was, was nothing in stupid-terms compared to Palin, Bachmann or WHF in Texas. The old saw about "at least he made the trains run on time" just won't cut it. The USA has become a nation of haves and have nots. When sufficient numbers of have nots get their sh#t together, the haves will need more than money or military. Remember, when ya got nothin' ya got nothin' to lose.
