I wish he could run for a third term and fourth term like FDR did.
And Mitt got 47%. Such delicious irony.
President Obama is one of only six presidents to win 51% twice. Exclusive company.
And I do hope in 2018 he is named to the US Supreme Court.(like Taft did)

but I do like reading the hysteria on the part of teabaggers who think he's plotting to do that. I think he'll be happy to call it an eight years when it's up. We just have to find another Dem who can win presidential elections. There'll be some good ones, I'm sure.

Patience is the key. We won't be anywhere close to where we need to be in my lifetime, but we'll get there.
