I see great Wagnerian finish to the Obama terms:  A Twilight of the Gods, with flames, thundering baritones, well-fed babes in horned helmets slinging praises as the flames rise higher, a dwarf or two, perhaps a monster, and then the ascent to Valhalla (or descent, not sure) .  Soon to be a major motion picture, coming to a multiplex near you, then very quickly to video.
