Obama Has Lift

++You're going to feel lonesome when he goes.

++Rude Pundit had to drop the cynical mask to day and admit President Obama is a transformational president. The country is a better place today than when he came into office.

++It is a sequence of lightening events like this week that demonstrate it. The almost wholesale national rejection of the Confederate flag,the Obamacare decision,the acknowledgement of same sex marriage rights in all states,culminating in the sight of the President singing Amazing Grace a cappella in his eulogy to Pastor Pinckney. 

++Right at the beginning of the second term, Paul Krugman had mentioned in Rolling Stone that President Obama was a consequential president. Within months, President Obama started his rapid-fire executive actions and climate action moves. 

++The problem is that the spaces in between these moments and this week's are mired in the sorry business of politicians wallowing in the mud. 

++What political figure gives good lift as President Obama? There are no Republicans and the Democrats look like imitations. 

++As we get burdened by the GOP clown car and the "will Hillary Make it?", let's not take our eyes off the prize. President Obama has to keep the big Mo until next year and he will stand a good chance of being great.

++But then, consider the music of the next President? Eegads. What a nightmare.
