“In 18 months, I’m turning over the keys,” Obama said. “

If every single thing he says is a lie, that’s the line I’ve been dreading, I don’t mind telling you.

If we had decent legislative leaders in Congress, the Republican response to these outrageous remarks would be devastating.

Of course, that’s wishful thinking. We have nonentities for legislative leaders in Congress, people who were more comfortable being in the minority.

Obama said. “I want to make sure I’m turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems that the country faces and the world faces.”

He just said it right to our faces.

He’s not leaving if he doesn’t like who wins the presidency.

There’s not even an attempt at ambiguity here.

I prefer he peacefully serve out his term but if he got swallowed up by a sinkhole or struck by lighting, it wouldn’t break my heart.
