Judy, I will miss your input. I appreciate the counterpoint to the overwhelming Obama bias here. My brother in law was just over for dinner, and he pointed out that Obama has exactly 2 more years, (not counting a year of campaigning), than he or I have in running the country. Not that I like Hilliary, because I don't. But I agree that we have to be long on hope that Obama can successfully lead the country. He thinks Obama will be the next President. I don't see it.
