Conservative opponents of Barack Obama have made a cottage industry out of warning the American people about the dire consequences that they think will surely follow if the president wins another term.

Books like "Fool Me Twice" and mockumentaries such as "2016: Obama's America" conjure up a vision of gullible Americans in Mao suits spending their days as unionized moochers counting their socialist entitlements.

They have spent the past four years holed up in their flag-bedecked retirement cottages sending vile anti-Obama e-mails to each other.
