When? My guess is not for a while. The American people are remarkably resilient at taking it in the ass and not noticing that it's being given to them. After 2012, probably. If the Republicans manage to destroy Obama--and the country in the process--enough to make him lose the election, that could do it. But I sort of doubt that. If the BP Oil Spill and Exxon-Mobil getting a tax refund didn't do it, I'm not sure what will.
It's gotta be something that's huge, that's important to Americans. Maybe if Johnny Depp gets arrested, Facebook goes down for a week, or if the Bachelorette gets cancelled, that'll do it.
Yeah, environmental or financial stuff won't do it.
It has got to be a cop killing an innocent.
Or cell phones going out of service.
Or maybe even just texting going down.
Possibly even a pause in picture messaging.
