The Fourth Quarter President.

++The new New York Magazine has a piece on Obama's fourth quarter peace of mind. With unemployment less than 5%, little or no inflation,the median income back to 2008 (not yet the 2002 high),America is sort of acknowledging and approving of Obama. The most vigorous criticism now seems to come from the Left,nonsense resides on the Right.

++Today President Obama landed in Argentina and blasted Ted Cruz' idea of patrolling Muslim neighborhoods before they get "radicalized" saying that Obama just came from a country that conducted similar surveillance --a country from which Ted Cruz' father fled. Obama went on to say these were not American ideas and had to be rejected.

++New York Magazine says that Obama is morphing into an elder statesman role, which escaped his predecessors because he is exiting without a scandal or political foul-up. 

++The political language ,already strange, has gotten bizarre. If you do not want Merrick Grantland confirmed and you don't want people to think you are an anti-semite, just argue ,as the conservatives are now,that Merrick is part of Obama's plot to be declared President for Life. For some reason,this is a negative. I would love Obama to be the President for the rest of my days. He's young enough and forward looking enough and I would feel safe and secure, knowing an adult was at the helm.

++Ted Cruz re-tweeted that Trump was a coward for attacking Heidi Cruz and that his campaign only used the nude photos of Melania that were in the public eye. Expect more on this issue in the days ahead.

++President Obama is expected to mount the campaign trail this year. OFA and the Democratic Party are counting on it.

++Remember President Obama's biannual summits on the threat of nuclear weapons? This coming week the National Security Summit is coming to Washington. Over 50 heads of state will attend and our lives will be made miserable.

++In response to the Right's criticism of President Obama not flying home immediately when Brussels was bombed and staying at the ballpark with his shades on and doing the wave with Raul,Obama answered that he was taking a chapter from David Ortiz' response during the bombings at the Boston Marathon where the Redsox star said ,"we are playing because it is our town and our society." 

++A nice touch from yesterday was Mrs. Jackie Robinson attending the game at the same ballpark Jackie played in before he made the majors.

++An historic first Raul Castro actually answered two questions from the press.

++On the primary front, Trump's win in Arizona keeps him on track to sew the nomination up on June 6th. The rest if nonsense. Hillary may have lost two states but she is chugging to the nomination.
