Well, the same candidate certainly can't run for reelection on his achievements given the atrocious record he has amassed. Even his signature accomplishment, Obamacare, has at no time received majority approval.  What will he do? 

Being a one-trick Alinsky pony who knows no other tactic but to blame and demonize, he'll obviously be running against someone -- though not necessarily the eventual Republican nominee.

It's going to be tough because Democrats have already squeezed every drop from the Bash Bush Sponge and, with the exception of Michele Bachmann, no one in the yet-unsettled field of Republican candidates has had a finger, let alone a hand, in national politics or policy. That won't change even if strong Romney-beater challengers like Governor Perry or Governor Christie enter the race. (Ron Paul doesn't count unless and until he runs on his own ticket.)

Even the tactic of belittling any given candidate's lack of credentials (Bachmann is already being demonized in the Democrats' fearful talking points for her executive inexperience, lowly one-of-435 status as a congresswoman and Tea Party affiliation) has huge backfire potential.  It gives Republican candidates a free pass to revisit Obama's extremely thin resume and the resultant mess to which his lack of executive experience, discipline and leadership has greatly contributed.

Additionally, Obama will either be forced to answer the very specific charges against him or, at best for his own sake, try to dodge them.  With continued media coddling the latter tack could be somewhat effective. Nonetheless, it would limit the kind of exposure he craves and in the conservative media, talk radio and at town hall gatherings the specific blunders and agenda-driven boondoggles perpetrated by the destroyer from the far left will be repeated accurately and unceasingly.

• Don't expect any debate(s) with the eventual Republican nominee until the mandatory head-to-head becomes unavoidable. 

• Expect a debate format and/or moderator that minimizes the potential for incumbent embarrassment.

• Expect every mainstream media outlet to claim a huge Obama victory in any head-to-head confrontation regardless of what really happened.

• Expect, at least for the time being, to be told often that all of our woes are the Tea Party's fault. 

• If you are a member of or ascribe to the Tea Party movement's ideals expect not only to be demonized for your political views but as a mental defective, sociopath, racist and/or certifiable lunatic, as well.

Your Dear Leader is definitely going to need a straw man (for now its the Tea Party) because the someone that American's will be bashing this time around is the terribly failed incumbent himself. In one third the time it took his predecessor, he easily replaced George W. Bush as Americans' number one kicking target -- and not merely by default.
