That should be enough to bring him down (like Johnson, Nixon, and Carter) before long, or at least seriously to curtail his military and economic policies. Obama already recognizes that his murderous campaign against Syria and Iran is in trouble with the only enemy he fears, the US public. And the Snowden affair may turn out to be even more damaging to the administration's war-on-terror pretensions than it may seem.

Also for the growth of the popular demand for an end to interventionism - bringing the troops and bases home (pioneered by the Ron Paul campaign and suppressed only with difficulty by the Republican party).

They're flailing about, desperate to see that an anti-government movement like that of 40 years ago does not arise. And that was in good economic times.
