Excellent, say his #1 goal for the next two years is to make Mitch McConnell a one term majority leader. Repubs have to be careful for the next 2 years at least - 2 of the 1% Repub candidates are already talking like Dems.

He said he was going to reach out to republicans and he did it and yes, I got so damn frustrated I almost pulled out my hair .. lol ... ;) .. But he did what he said he was going to do it .. If we didn't like that idea then we shouldn't have voted for him. I believe we've all gotten to know Obama a bit more .. He's a patient man a very patient man and it works for him with MOST things. . republicans ? what works with them? nothing. I'd like to try poison ... ;) .......but they're immune to it, they live on poison .. .lololololol.. oh sheeesh!

but yes, we tore our hair out . .but you know what .. It wouldn't have mattered what or HOW he did anything .. because .. .wait for it! .. They were gonna say no! no matter what! .. .

Yeah, and I wanted to say, but I'll make it a post on it's own. Obama cared deeply about the 2014 election and from what I read he deeply believed that there was a good possibility that he wouldn't win and I mean why shouldn't he think that? More people hated him than when he started .. poor guy damn! ... .. but there he had mitt . .to beat the snot out of . .Everything that Obama didn't stand for ... easy money, spoon in his mouth . .legacies everywhere ... and so much money who the heck knows where it is .. .I'd be afraid of losing too.. but, I noticed something the night he did in fact win that election.. He was different, right there on the stage in Chicago was it? He was for the first time I saw 'relaxed' ... I believe in his heart that THEN he knew WE accepted him and respected him and it meant so much to him. This one was OUR choice the first election you could say .. was many things .. christ bush alone would be all anyone needed ...lol ... ;) .. but his second election .. that night under the stars .. with the family Obama was a new man . .I saw, felt it ... .. and his behavior has only enforced what I saw and felt then.

For the First time he felt accepted by the united states of America and he let himself feel the love that night, that night only imo again.. And it was a new world .. ;)
