5. I'll always be worried....

I'm voting for him. I'll probably even swallow my pride and maybe even donate.

But I've been told too many times since he was sworn in that "Relax. He's got this. He's smarter than all of us. He has the best advisers. He's several steps ahead of all of us. He's playing the right for fools." only to have the results be exactly as many of us had predicted they would be.

And admittedly a lot of those times it was as much an over optimism about the intelligence of the American public and a too eager belief that they would either see the truth as to how good some of the stuff that was being done was (the ACA), or give Obama much more credit than they have for his "bipartisan" efforts.

Ultimately when I watch him campaign, and speak about the issues, and do some of the full court media press like he has been doing (that Fallon appearance, etc.) I'm confident he'll pull it off. The same way Clinton did. The fact is that much in the same way it was with Clinton, people like Obama despite the way he's portrayed by the mouth breathing neanderthals in the Republican party.

But if one thing makes me worry it's when people tell me not to worry.
