Every 70 years or so, the right leader comes along

Over the past year, I'm more and more in awe about how we are incredibly fortunate that this guy came along when he did.


Just when we needed him most.


Every 70 years or so, the right leader comes along at a fulcrum point in our history to lead a massive restructuring of how our nation operates

1790... George Washington
1860... Abe Lincoln
1932... Franklin Roosevelt
2008... Barack Obama


I hope I live long enough to see the kickass leader we have in 2080. ;-)

1. I agree.

I won't be here in 2080, but I'm fortunate to be alive now to see someone turn back the ugly face of corporate fascism.

4. In their own way each of those 4 leaders was dealing with the same
problems: Corporate greed - the we have the right to oppress you syndrome of the rich.

3. In 2080 I'll be in a rest home watching re-runs of the Simpsons
and the show will probably still be on the air too.
