A re-elected Obama wouldn't be the end of liberty

I yield to nobody in my conviction that Barack Obama’s presidency has been a disaster for the Republic. Last week, in this space, I even suggested that some of his offenses rose to the level of impeachable “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Yet, try as I might, I can’t convince myself that the 2012 election is a “hinge of history,” and it’s “game over” for liberty unless he’s defeated. If Obama wins, the fight goes on; if he loses, don’t pop the champagne corks just yet.
