Depends on whether or not Obama starts backing liberal politics hard in the next few months.

The first ironic song, really asking the question, but the irony removed somewhat with the response to Sandy and the election results.
And I bet Bruce won't sue Obama to quit using it!

(62,276 posts)8. I give it a 50/50 chance.
Obama is, intellectually, a liberal. He has to, as a black candidate, play the middle. It's over. He's reelected. He can drop the mask and show what he really feels about issues. The House is now terrified. They have an election in 2014. They want to win their elections in 2014. He will destroy them.
Watch and see. (Note: my predictions are 50/50 so I can be 100% wrong here, we'll see what happens.)
