Steve,
The PTB are poised to strike. Hard to say if they will try to pull it off with Bush at the helm.
I could see scenarios that keep him in control. I think with the charisma of Obama at their disposal, they would wield much more control over the people with less friction from the majority.
Ultimately, it is all about time-tables, it doesn't matter who is the President, it is about the endgame.
I just have this feeling that Obama could be promoted to "saviour of the world"...walking on water and all that jazz.
