<<<I am still amazed that we have a president that I will actually want to watch and listen to. May it still be so in 8 years....>>>

Mea culpa.

I thought that Hillary Clinton would have been better suited to be president on day one.

I could have been right, but that does not matter at all.

Hillary does not have the upside Obama has and besides Barack Obama (I hate to admit this) is much more intelligent (not that Hillary is not brilliant).

Besides that, he does not have the baggage that Hillary carries (mostly that is attached to Bill Clinton).

On top of all this, Obama has the sense about him that he is not afraid to do things that worked just because Bill Clinton had done it before. This is huge.

The only thing that bothers me about Obama now is that he still has kind words for Ronald Reagan. I don't think he has to go negative, but I don't think he should bring up that name.
