“You are finished in 2012, and you will be a one-term president.”
That sounds like commitment and assertion. That is putting yourself out there. That is not being coy, dodgy or comfortably floating along. But who said it?
If you watched the debate tonight then you know that was Michele Bachmann. I like her moxie and her determination. Barack Obama has that same quality except that his courage and drive has landed us…here, for lack of a better term, after nearly three years.
It’s starting. Can you hear the engine revving? It’s going to be a rollercoaster as we edge toward the one-year marker leading up to the election. Some candidates will drop out and others will emerge to the surface. We are still far off, but I cannot wait to see a debate between Barack Obama and whoever Someone Else is going to be.
