Good bit of analysis there Peter.
I must admit to thinking the same thing about the likely consequences for Obama if he does undertake 'change in office' so-to-speak and is judged to be in breach of the Faustian bargain that got him both the Democratic nomination and the Presidency itself.
In that event, those on the other side of that bargain have a problem though. Another 'lone assassin' ? - taking the death-toll of in-office US presidents from 9 to 11%? a plane crash maybe? - but aren't they becoming just a wee bit obvious by now ?
OTOH, with the convergence of population growth, climate-change and peak just-about-everything problems coinciding with near total US/NATO global military dominance (which I judge unlikely to be surrendered under ANY circumstances) together with US economic bankruptcy, those on the other side of that bargain probably couldn't give a toss about the credibility niceties of any attempted assassination narrative.
