With all the major scandals confronting the Obama Administration, there is a potential for his resignation. I'm not a fan, and I don't think his vision for the country has anything to do with Liberty and Freedom, so at first the thought was pretty appealing.
Then I looked at the order of succession. Crap.
OK, Biden wouldn't last very long before he gaffed his way out of office - I'd say give him about a week. The next two make me absolutely want to vomit.
Kerry? He would at least be able to finally award himself the Medal of Honor for something extra brave like crossing the street safely.
Eric Holder? Oh em eff gee
The list gets worse and worse. Nothing at all until you get to next to last with General Shinseki - He at least could keep us from self destructing until the next election.
Napolitano at the very bottom? AAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
I'm forced to admit that a severely wing clipped Obama may be the best thing we have until 2016.
The current succession:
1. Vice President of the United States - Joe Biden
2. Speaker of the House of Representatives - John Boehner
3. President pro Tempore of the Senate - Harry Reid
4. Secretary of State - John Kerry
