(13,776 posts)I heard his press conference this morning and I feel pretty certain that he will use his high approval ratings to speak up and help us out on the really important stuff. After a well-deserved break, but I hope not too long of one.

(22,756 posts)but a lot of us will not be OK... I personally will probably be ok, but a lot of my neighbors, fellow citizens, the environment, etc. will not... and by the way, OK is not really good enough in my book when Hillary Clinton could have built on the progress Obama made if the voters truly had elected the next President (instead of Electorates)
