I'm kind of sad.

Obama is now having his last campaign rally. His LAST rally. He will win tomorrow, have four more years. After his second term, who knows what he will do. But he will have no more campaign rallies. Sad.

he'll have enormous cachet, like Bill.

So keep your chin up. He'll be out there.

But it will be for someone else. We won't hear, "Virginia, I need your vote" any more. I know he'll be vital, and on the world stage. But no more Obama campaign rallies.

He could become a SCOTUS justice or US Senator, or maybe the next James Bond actor.

in the coming years.

I love Carter, Clinton and Obama.

Unlike the other side we get to be proud of all our guys have accomplished, and will continue to accomplish.

PUKES have to hide Dumb and Dumber less the country gets too big a reminder of how much they f...ed things up.

When President Obama leaves office in 2017 he will not go into seclusion like former Repub Presidents do. He will be active like former Presidents Carter and Clinton.

I don't know If I ever had a President I feel so personally about. And VP. I l liked Gore and Clinton but I really was so young, teens and early twenties. Much more distracted back in the 90's. Now I have two daughters and feel really invested in this for their future. But I really want 4 more years of both Obama and Biden. So, I hope it all works out for that.

President Obama had years 3 and 4 of his Presidency hijacked by pre-teen children in the GOP pandering to racism among their own. I fear that unless there are 218 Democrats in the House come January, years 5 and 6 will be similarly hijacked. My hope is that in 2014, a decisive Democratic Party landslide will sweep the House and Senate, and years 7 and 8 will be the most amazing. But I will still be sad that in the 21st Century racism within the GOP will have allowed for a 4 year hijacking of President Obama's Presidency.
