Obama has done some great things, but eight years is enough.

To be fair, I wouldn't miss any politician when their term is up.

If they don't have Obama-hate to run on, what have they got?

don't respect him. Many of them suddenly care about what foreigners think. That's a new low and a classic illustration of their racist approach to Obama.

He has an unreal temperament, and he has had to regularly summon every last reserve therein. For his own health, it's good that he is term-limited because he would stomp 'em again next year if given the chance.

President Jimmy Carter and President Obama. I believe they are the most decent men to hold the office in the last hundred years.

Out of the rest, even the dead ones, there is not one I would go out of my way to see and most of the presidents who held office in my lifetime - which started with Truman as president - I would make a serious effort to avoid.

family. Hillary will have Bill and I don't like that at all. And I think Bernie and his wife will do a good job. Hopefully his family would be a part of what he is doing.
