The Trainwreck Presidency

ObamaCare implementation has been described as a trainwreck, by a Democrat Senator, no less.  How apt is the metaphor if it applies in a general sense to Obama's presidency.

Consider this quote:

Moral legitimacy is what makes honest people obey the law even when they can get away with breaking it. Undermine that and you get a country like, say, Italy, where tax evasion is a national sport.

If by winning the presidential election Obama cheated by using the IRS as a political weapon, and if this destroys the credibility of the IRS, and if this leads to its abolition, then Obama would have presided over the destruction of not the USA as feared, but his own ideology and party.  For the IRS is the enforcement arm of the welfare state.  Remove the IRS and the welfare state is no longer possible.

Maybe the DemocRATS will flee this sinking ship in time to save themselves.

Or maybe the Republicans will save them from themselves and doom the rest of us.
