In keeping with the analogy of this election to 2004, Obama's second term will probably greatly resemble Bush's second term.

Of course without the incompetent responses to natural disasters,

Deepwater Horizon doesn't ring a bell? (Although that's not a perfect example, but probably worse since it was an unnatural disaster.) In any case, I presume you are not clairvoyent and thus cannot predict what natural disasters will occur and how the administration will respond to it.

Libya doesn't ring a bell? Or Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan? Or what will probably include Syria and Mali in term #2?

How are you so confident that the economy will boom throughout Obama's second administration, especially given how stagnant it has been in the first? I'm sure you would have been laughed at if in 2005 you suggested the economy would collapse in three years.

Of course you assume that his actions haven't created terrorists by inflicting "collateral damage" on thousands of innocent civilians.

So far he's at least as awful as Bush II or Clinton, who themselves were pretty bad historically speaking.

Depends on how you define "misconduct" I'd say economic stagnation and mass murder are "misconduct" to say the least.

I must have missed the part where Kennedy ran attack ads against Nixon for being a capitalist.

Naturally, since politicians and gangsters are in the same business.

If Obama pushes to decriminalize marijuana, the Democrats will have the Millennial Generation in the bag for decades.

One can dream.

The Agenda:

* "Grand Bargain" on tax/entitlement reform, perhaps from deal on "fiscal cliff" this winter

* Immigration Reform


* Infrastructure investments (see AJA)

* General Government Reform

* Pass ENDA (& repeal DOMA if SCOTUS doesn't overturn it)

* Afghanistan withdrawal

* Syria conclusion

* prevention of Iran getting nukes


* POSSIBLY Israeli-Arab peace

* POSSIBLY something on marijuana

* POSSIBLY something on civil liberties

Of course what's really sad is that my generation cares about this so strongly, but yeah, that would probably be the case.

Hopefully better than most, but I fear:

My intuition tells me it will be a train-wreck.

Trainwreck with a greek-style fiscal default at the end of the term.

Amnesty for all illegal aliens should be priority #1 for diabolical reasons.

I love how some Republicans are talking about how they need to appeal to Hispanic community by leading on immigration reform. They'll never win a national election again!
