My Wildest Obama Prediction

It's fairly easy, if you've been watching his campaign for the last two years, to predict President Obama's action once he takes office.

Those pundits who are all offering up their insights that Obama will have to "govern from the center" are fooling themselves. He will pay back the Democrat interests groups right away with a flood of Executive Orders, as all presidents do. The point this time is that the Democrat interest groups have become very left wing.

It will be a left-wing extravaganza. Abortion-a-palooza. Labor unions free to run over workers who don't wish to join. Shutting down talk radio. More sub-prime "affordable housing". etc.

Predictable.

So, let me throw out my wildest prediction for President Obama's first year:

President Obama will be put in the position of having to consider pardoning George W. Bush.

Oh, yeah.

It's not a far-fetched notion at all. Here's my evidence:

- The Democrats control both houses of Congress and the Presidency. There are some Committee Chairmen/Chairwomen who are just itching to hold war crimes hearings on George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and other nefarious warmongers. Itching. One of them will pull the trigger.

- The left-wing organizations and websites - I'm thinking MoveOn.org, Code Pink, etc. - have been calling for war crimes trials for two years. Believe me. I read their websites even if you don't.

- Vincent Bugliosi, professional crank and agitator (Motto: I'm brilliant and the rest of you morons are extemely incompetent!) not only wrote a book encouraging this ("The case against George W. Bush", I think), but has been working the country trying to find a U.S. Attorney who will prosecute the case once Bush leaves office. Some nutbag U.S. Attorney will file an indictment.

And when they do - what will President Obama do?

I think he will be forced to realize, as all president's do, that if we go down the road of criminalizing policy decisions, especially war time decisions, that he could be next. He will issue a pardon.

How popular will "the One" be when he pardons George W. Bush.

Remember, you heard it here first...
