2 Observations:
1) The debt ceiling can no longer be used as a tool to hold America and the world hostage to the Tea Party. Obama masterfully not only not give an inch to the seditious Tea Party, but on top of it - took away the nuclear bomb.
What am I talking about? The press for some reason is not pounding this point, but going forward the President now has the power to raise the debt ceiling at will. Obama has the power to raise the debt ceiling in January. Congress still has oversight over debt, and *can* block the debt ceiling being raised, *but* this time *both* the House and the Senate must pass a bill together to cause the default of the United States.
This is huge. The gun was taken from the Tea Party's hand, then they were slapped. And Obama has the gun.
Then, super classy, he gave it to Mitch O'Connell to take credit for.
2) Obama is 47 years younger than Jimmy Carter. And Carter still has an impact on domestic and foreign affairs. So here are the elections that Obama will have a strong impact on influencing from his campaigning and from his millions of activist supporters:
2016
2020
2024
2028
2032
2036
2040
2044
2048
2052
2056
2060
The next TWELVE presidencies will receive wisdom and influence from Obama. He will likely go down as the most impactful President of the 21st century.
Here are the future elections that former Republican presidents can influence:
*sound of crickets*
W Bush? He is done.
Who do the GOP have with national brand value?
Sarah Palin
Michelle Bachman
Mitt Romney
Ted Cruz?
Crazies.
