'Toontime: 2nd Term Tilt?

Wackedoodle sez: Don't bogart that chronic splif my friend!
Released from the political exigencies of winning office, presidents appear to turn toward policies supported by their party's alienated ideologues in their final term. Whether the perception spoofed above matches reality is another question. While tens of thousands were protesting against the XL pipeline on the Washington Mall, B. O'Drama was golfing in Florida with oil and pipeline executives. Either perception or reality, the Repugnants are having none of it. They will do their dead level best to alter any course the President might wish to follow. The Hagel nomination is their first shot across his bow, filibuster or no.  The iceberg of sequestration lies dead ahead.
