Why you my ask? A few reasons:
1. Obama's presidency is turning out to be a moderate success despite the historic backlash against him. The economy is improving, healthcare costs are going down, fewer Americans are dying in wars.
2. The US hasn't had a real FDR or JFK type of president in a LONG time. We're overdue.
3. The Republican Party has some serious rebranding to do. Young people and minorities are making up a greater percentage of the voting population each year and they simply do not vote republican. Gerrymandering and attempts to purchase public opinion can only get them so far. The aforementioned groups tend to vote more regularly in presidential elections as well.
1.The economy is improving? He's been in office over six years. It improves by default unless you have some FDR type. And didn't we just have negative growth a quarter ago? I guess you could call it historic backlash if you skip the 8 years previous to his.
2. What is a FDR or JFK type of person? Most people have three initials. JFK was in office less than three years. "Ich bin ein Sozialist."
