In the movie "Unbreakable" starring Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson, Jackson's character "Mr. Glass" explains how every hero is defined by his nemesis. In fact, you can't have a hero if you don't have a nemesis.

The United States had its nemesis in the USSR for many years and once we lost our nemesis, we lost our greatness.

Presidents also get defined this way. George Bush's presidency is arguably in the top 3 of most difficult presidencies of the past 100 years. Bush's presidency is defined by his nemesis, al qaeda, OBL and 9/11. History will tell us whether he handled it well or not.

Obama also has a nemesis. And Obama got to choose his Nemesis. Obama's presidency is going to be defined by his battle with the evil empire of...ummm..ummm...Fox News.

Now there's a legacy in the making!!! Go get em Barack!! You big stud!!!
