5. That's our POTUS!

I can remember the many endorsements Obama received in 08 and the praises of his intellect, long view and desire to consider all sides of an issue.

I would add that so many plans had to be tabled to deal with catastrophic economic problems. He still knew to push through the ACA. Then he managed the insane attacks on him to his advantage. Somewhere in there his facility to make DC laugh at his critics via correspondence dinners seemed like a new tool in his belt.

Can hardly wait for what tomorrow brings.
