1. I hope he follows through better this time

the centrists think he'll swerve left in his 2nd term. I sure hope he articulates and fights for that more successfully than in term 1. His congressional majorities will be smaller than in 2009-2010, so he needs to fight continually and loudly if he wants to implement a populist agenda. he should appear on camera with the progressive caucus, because that's the only way that group will ever get any attention.
