This will sound like I'm trolling the OP and like-minded people, but I'm not.
I don't think we're going to realize just how good he actually was at this job until a much later date. We'll still have the partisan agreement/disagreement on policy decisions and the like, but my read on President Obama is that he's playing chess when others are playing checkers. Now you might not like his brand of chess, and the House keeps knocking over the board and making people reset pieces, but I think most people are missing how skillful he actually is. (The relatively easy and wide-margined re-election not withstanding ----- blaming that defeat on Romney, as clueless and impolitic as he was, is very much head-in-the-sand mentality on the part of conservatives.)
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
