Hey guys. The way I'm positioning myself I can't lose. So what do I got? Two years here to manage the wars, the economy and the rest, and then two years in 2012 to really do something before I become a lame duck.
The Right wants to tear apart the New Deal. I don't. So I'll meet them half way (as my opening position), then push it another quarter, so we'll still come out with 25%. Not bad. Any more than that and I'll alienate the moderates. And if I'm not reelected, they'll tear apart 100% of the New Deal. Can you imagine?
Sure, older people, black and white, will start paying for their health care, but what can I do?
How am I liking the job? Loving it! I don't carry keys or a wallet. People play songs when I come into the room. Great wheels. And let's face it, I'm the Jackie Robinson of politics. Historic. I try not to let it go to my head. Like when I run up the stairs to the Lincoln Memorial and people go out of their minds. Little do they know I've got wars to run. What a mess.
As I said in my book, as a black man I've learned not to speak too loudly or move too fast. And I got myself elected president of the United States. And I will be reelected. Older black people...and white people might start paying for health care in their old age. But in balance, I"m doing good. And there's 2012-2014 when I'll really put down my marker...
