I don't agree with everything he has done, but in addition to the fact that the alternative is just too awful to contemplate, Obama IS THE MOST NORMAL PERSON TO SIT IN THE OVAL OFFICE SINCE -- and I would go back a lot further to 1968 and the election of Nixon.
Obama is the most normal person go sit in the White House since 1968.
And maybe even earlier.
Johnson did some great things -- Medicare, the War on Poverty, the Civil Rights Act, a bunch of good things -- but even though he was a Democrat, he was not nearly as normal as Obama.
Still, even though he is a very normal person, too many of the people around Obama are really strange -- 1%ers and their lackeys. Obama needs to get out more with the 99%. He needs to spend more quality time with those of us who are not in the 1%.
