I predict his first term will be a smashing success. After all, even with all the economic pain we are in right now, we still have one of the best economic infrastructures in the world. It's just a matter of finding a smart, ethical, and pragmatic leader to synthesize the best of conservative and liberal policies to take advantage of our, for lack of a better word, advantages. Obama hits on all 3 criteria. I have no doubt that President Obama is smarter than any of the ankle biters, such as Boehner, nipping at his heels. I predict his first term will be a smashing success.
