Ed Driscoll posted a link to an interesting, and disturbing, view of Obama's personality and how it effects his behavior as president:

Veteran White House reporter Keith Koffler on “The Root of Obama’s Imperious Presidency:”

I covered both the Clinton and Bush White Houses. Routinely, with each of them, there was line of cars on the West Wing driveway belonging to members of some committee or faction of Congress that had dropped by to meet the president. If they wanted the gathering to remain below the radar, they “snuck in” the side door, and then the camera guys who were always in a position where they could see the entrance there told us about it.

With Obama, almost never. Nothing. No meetings. If you ask around on Capitol Hill, no phone calls either. Obama, expostulating about the uncooperativeness of Republicans, does nothing to get them to cooperate. It’s not in his character. And then he attacks them for his own paucity of results. He’s like a high school football player who never comes to practice and then whines that he’s warming the bench.

Unfortunately, Obama’s temperament will now have serious consequences for the nation. We’ll be in a constant state of Constitutional subversion for the next three years as Obama issues edicts and bullies the private sector into doing his bidding. At any point, with some particularly outlandish act, he can kick things up to a major Constitutional crisis. It’s a sad thing to see. (emphasis added)

Indeed, already he is protected only by Harry Reid in the Senate, and the partisan press corps ( or corpse, as he would ignorantly pronounce it).  I imagine even their patience has it's limits, and given Obama's isolation, and narcissism, a crisis is much more probably than not in the next three years, especially as his Obamacare both ruins the people's ability to afford healthcare, and higher costs and taxes weigh on the economy.  It may well be a very bumpy ride from here on out.
