In reply to the discussion: How will the second Obama term be different from the first? [View all]calimary
(81,555 posts)Hopefully the calcium supplement he's received lately, for backbone reinforcement, will motivate him and his troops to push further with the positive things he was able to do during this term. Maybe building upon and reinforcing the health care reforms (which could use a LOT of tweaking)? Weaning us away from Afghanistan? Replacing eric holder (one of the most useless, unimpressive Attorneys General I've seen in a long time)? Replace tim geithner hopefully?
I'm hoping that the backbone he's started showing recently will remind him what REALLY works with the voters - and works AGAINST the bad guys - who I hope lose the House and don't even come close to taking the Senate. It would be lovely to see boner relegated to a mere two-year term as Speaker. He gets one shot, serves with extreme INdistinction, and buh-bye. I hate to see bad behavior rewarded. Which is why I hope the GOP gets its collective ass handed to it next November. They need to be shown that sidling up to jackasses like the teabaggers is NO way to win, longterm, and only alienates sensible, reasonable people with consciences and intelligence. A teachable moment for them. They certainly deserve it!
