Should we fear him?

American Digest links to this from Megan McArdle:
Red line comment got him on a box on Syria? Just bomb them, without any popular or political support. Waffling on that fails? Then instead of bombing them, guarantee them in power and overturn our decades of Middle East policy, without even consulting anyone. That doesn't look so hot? Let Iran have nukes as long as they tell us they don't. Obamacare doesn't work? Throw out almost four years of preparations and any pretense of constitutional government, and throw all insurance regulators and insurance companies under the bus, just because approval ratings hit 40%. It profits a man nothing to sell his soul for the whole world. But for the remote possibility of a 2 point uptick on Gallup this week? Watch him just get more and more reckless and erratic as his popularity continues to plummet. I can't predict what insanity he will try when he hits 30%, but we should all fear a cornered president who recognizes no limits on his power and no duty to uphold his oath. -- Obamacare's Creative, Or Illegal, Rule-Making - Bloomberg
