Here are the lame duck drums. Do u hear them? 2016 2016 2016. Tap tap tap. 2016 2016. Two years and he is done. No sitting pres won back either house in his 6th year. So BO is all but done now. His legacy will be a failure like Carter's unless he starts to compromise. But his DNA wont let him. He is showing himself to be arrogant, vitriolic at times, and intransigent.
These next few years will be difficult at best and a failure at worst for BO and this country. Too bad, because he had a golden opportunity during this period from his inauguration until March 1st to work with republicans and show real leadership. Bullying didn't work in his first term and it certainly won't work now.
So, now we are forced to wait for him to recede into history, like the 43 before him and hope for a better day. Mitt Romney showed that he wasn't the person to do what needs to be done because he failed when he had the best chance to win, after the first debate. Certainly, he wasn't the answer.
Who now could it be? It doesn't matter which party the next president comes from. We need a leader who can resolve the stalemates and know how to deal with the loyal opposition. Right now, that person is Hillary Clinton. She has all the experience: a senator, a secstate, a good negotiator. But best of all, she has an advisor who did the job and, admittedly, did it well.
The repubs will fight among themselves again in 2015 and 2016, and the victor will be bloodied again. But the dems have an opportunity to unite now behind Hillary, and they will keep the vaulted prize in American politics.
We will see. Let the tapping begin.
