I can't wait for President Obama to leave office...

Not because I don't like him, but because I do.

It'll be fun watching bitter assholes on both sides scramble to find their new scapegoat...

With all that time saved by not looking in a mirror, I'm sure the next one will be appointed expeditiously.

Given the obstruction and hate most cons have for him due to his skin color, he has actually worked miracles

meets up with some cosmic event that slows time down to a crawl. I think he's the best I have seen in my lifetime..(though some may argue that..) but it was sure far better than his predecessor who shall be named President Clueless.

Is it some form of self loathing? You really shouldn't let "bitter assholes" get to you to the point you look forward to worse times. Very strange. I can promise you that he is going to leave office, make millions on top of millions, and enjoy the rest of his life. You should think about enjoying something other than the negativity of others and the joy you will get from watching that negativity. Something you could learn from Obama.

Obama serves as the rightwing's arch nemesis, so he will remain the Scapegoat in Chief long after he leaves office.

enough will find themselves with reversals of the things he has done. Because, if the rethugs take over the Senate and maintain the house, there will be Hell on earth.

They still blame Clinton to this day, they have over 20 years to still blame Obama.
