He shot his political credibility and his idol status to hell with his socialistic attempt to take control of the citizenry's health care and his party's subsequent branding of as dissenters as "nazis" and a "mob". He has been exposed, finally to all those centerists who voted for him as a flaming liberal race baiter and he lost their support. Now even the democrats running for reelection in 2010 will have to distance themselves from him or risk becoming victims of another Republican Revolution like the one in 1992 when 50 or so democratic reps got fired. In fact it may already be too late for some in tightly contested districts. I really think that any new proposals such as the idiotic cap and trade legislation espoused by BO will be looked at with a healthy new skepticism thusly handicapping his legislative capability. If we can avoid having these outrageously stupid initiatives rammed down out throats before 2010 we can take the congress from the democrats and stop BO from ruining the country.
