and waiting to see what transpires. I have said in the past I have no great expectations of an Obama second term. My one fear is he gives away too much of the farm to the GOP in some sort of deal. I won't start panicking though until I see what actually happens.

He has roped the dopes 100 times, and will rope the dopes 100 times more.

To insure what could have in the past been a 53 year straight run of Democratic presidents had the 1968 division not occured, to last the next 45 years after the end of the 2nd term.

And no Bill Bradley or Ralph Nader like event will stop it like both of those did in 2000.

President Obama has delivered a perfect knockdown of the Republicantealibertarian party forever more.

And President Obama is doing something unheard of. He is NOT going to be a lame duck the last two years, in fact, the last 2 years will be the best ever and insure a continuation with the following 8.

The long term eye on the prize always works alot better than instant gratification.
Bush family may have won a temporary victory in 2000, however, in 2016, with hopefully 41 still vibrant and watching, Jeb Bush is going to get his rear end kicked in a most devastating defeat, forever ending the Reagan/Bush/Ford age.

The best is yet to come, and it's been super great the first 4 years.

Remember, FDR did not do anywhere near as much the first 4 years. Took FDR 14 years to accomplish everything that needed to be done.President Obama only gets 8 years and times are much worse from the time President Obama took over, than they were when FDR took over.

AMENDMENT XXII

SECTION 1.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

SECTION 2.

This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.

Hillary Clinton45/Janet Napolitano for 8 years will continue it beautifully.

Everything has been set in place for a long, long, long run at the top.

And in 2018, President Obama becomes Supreme Court Justice Obama, finally avenging the non replacement for Thurgood Marshall that Clarence Thomas was.

House-Senate-Presidency-Supreme Court- and hopefully one of these days the Governors.

And Texas turns blue

and immigration reform happens, and total health care reform

some people dreamed. President Obama is going to make everything happen that could have already happened had people not ditched LBJ and Jimmy Carter in prior years.

President Obama is not going to leave the arena. He is going to stay in public service for decades more.
This time we can get 53 years that could have happened from 1960 to now.
With no steps backwards.
One day at a time.
Look at the long term prize. Not the day to day minutia.
