Predictions on Obama's Post Midterm Election Actions

I have a feeling that President Obama is waiting to impose his real agenda just after the upcoming midterm elections. So does anyone have predictions on what he will do?
My predictions are:
1 Close Gitmo and release almost all the terrorists back to their home countries with exception of a few who will end up in federal prison after standing trial.
2 Begin flying in ebola patients from West Africa.
3 Legalize tens of millions of illegal immigrants.
4 Drop all sanctions on Iran and welcome them into the umbrella of friendly nations.
5 Decrease our attacks on ISIS.
6 Abandon Afghanistan only this time leaving behind a small ineffective fighting force so that he can claim he is not repeating his mistakes with Iraq.
7 Begin the process of moving Obamacare to a socialist system.
8 Reduce our military to meager levels.
9 Assault the free press with reckless abandon.
10 Veto every bill from the Republicans and scapegoat their extremism to legitimize his unilateral actions.
Any more predictions?

Here's mine:
Limp to a soggy, defeated, humiliated finish marked by only half-hearted attempts at anything interspersed between copious vacations, golf trips, and fundraisers as the rest of the Democrats jump ship, spend most of their time avoiding him, and try to salvage their careers by ghostwriting tell-all exposé historical fiction political books.

The better question is how much if any spine will anyone on the R side show to stop the coming amnesty. (unless O backs down).

He will not back down. The other side will be faced with a difficult situation because probably the only way to stop Obama's wanton disregard for the Constitution would be to impeach him, which would be after the fact and would probably result in their undressing by the willing press. Obama knows that he can probably do whatever he wants at least on this issue and get away with it.

Isn't there something called power of the purse, and couldn't the GOP if they had the balls and votes just refuse to fund whatever money is required for the program?

You forgot a few:
11. Proclaim Islam as the official religion of the US.
12. Force all unmarried people to marry someone of the same sex, unless of course they are Muslims.
13. Award Richard Nixon a posthumous Medal of Honor for "paving the way to the glorious future".
14. Have the Mint produce enough $1 Trillion dollar coin with his face on it to pay off the national debt.

As I have pointed out previously, regardless of what is stated in the Constitution, the President of the US can do
anything he wants so long as 1/3 of the Senate would refuse to convict him if he were impeached.

My predictions are:
1 Close Gitmo and release almost all the terrorists back to their home countries with exception of a few who will end up in federal prison after standing trial.
I'd be in favor of giving them all trials conducted on public television. I'm not afraid of anything they have to say. Are you?
2 Begin flying in ebola patients from West Africa.
Heard this was already in the works
3 Legalize tens of millions of illegal immigrants.
Ditto
4 Drop all sanctions on Iran and welcome them into the umbrella of friendly nations.
How about we give up our nukes, they give up theirs?
5 Decrease our attacks on ISIS.
I'm generally in favor of decreasing attacks wherever we can
6 Abandon Afghanistan only this time leaving behind a small ineffective fighting force so that he can claim he is not repeating his mistakes with Iraq.
Seems like the choice boils down to abandon now or abandon later? I'll go with now.
7 Begin the process of moving Obamacare to a socialist system.
I think that process already began
8 Reduce our military to meager levels.
Let them beat theirs swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Maybe that would actually make us more of the Christian nation we think we are.
9 Assault the free press with reckless abandon.
Yes, I think you are right. They would if they could.
10 Veto every bill from the Republicans and scapegoat their extremism to legitimize his unilateral actions.
Probably not every, but most
Any more predictions?

And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog and I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep it.
How can you hate a man who loved dogs?

There was quite a stir a few years ago about BHO liking dogs too when he was in Indonesia. Tasty.
