1. President Obama is running for a second term!

I predict that all the people here who have been disappointed in him, myself include, are going to see a different Obama. He knows his legacy will be determined by whether he gets a second term.

Here's the deal. He isn't dumb. He knows that in order to ensure that legacy he is going to have to stir the pot, or upset the apple cart, or a myriad of other mixed metaphors.

I think this last three years has shown Obama just what is at stake, and just what the Republicans are trying to do. Did I say he's not dumb? This is going to be an election season that none of us is ever going to forget, for better or worse.

But I do not think that Barack Obama is going to let us down.
