And he made Orrin Hatch look like a fool. That’s important, too.

Your question required a double-disappointed or at best, a double-sad.

The wit, the poise, the intelligence, the perspective—we’re gonna miss you, boss. That combination doesn’t come along all that often. : (

Vice President? Can he run for that please?

He’s of the tribe, so that has to count for something.

In the meantime, I want my president to be thoughtful and to pick nominees based on qualifications and quality.

If the best candidate is a white guy, that’s okay with me.

Low bar. Hatch is a fool and a tool, so pointing that out is child’s play.

You do not have to love Obama but you do have to acknowledge that when he speaks he is always calm and to the point.And never a word of bigotry and hate.

The more PBO is in the public eye, right now, the more I realize we will all look back on his time in the white house with nostalgia for cool, civil, funny, smarts. Be a while before we see that again.

No. Vice-Presidential candidates have to meet the same eligibility requirements as POTUS.

It’s been frustrating knowing for eight years that the people who’ve been continually bitching and attacking are going to realize one day that he was the best president of their lifetimes.

“Chief Justice Obama” has a nice ring to it.

I know, I know: Not interested.

But give it time. He’s young. We’ll work on him…

I wish he were more progressive: we don’t need another Kennedy.
