As I've written before, Democrats will regret embracing the expansion of executive power because a President Obama will find his administration undone by an "abuse of power" scandal. All of those powers which were necessary to prevent the instant destruction of the country will instantly become impeachable offenses. If you can't imagine how such a pivot can take place then you haven't been paying attention.
Of course, the real Company abuses of power under an Obama administration- which looks increasingly submissive to the will of the 4th branch of government- will come from an entirely different set of directions than what Obama will get nailed for.
It's entirely unclear that Obama will win this, whatever his lead over Mc$ame. Issues like the requirement the FISA court oversight of eavesdropping should have and could have been used to rally the progressive Democratic base.
Instead, Obama's advisers have him going along with the Bu$h line, taking the wind out of the sails of his campaign.
