Just remember one thing.
Four years of Bush brought us a major terrorist attack, two wars, of which one was even then unpopular, and the Patriot Act, and and he still beat a legitimate Democrat candidate.
Four more years of unpopular war, political scandal and questionable legislation, the loss of Congress, running likely the worst possible candidate for the time, a polarizing VP pick, and a Democrat candidate who had a cult-like following and was worshiped and protected by his supporters and the media at-large...and Obama only won 53%-46%.
There seem to be an awful lot of cocky liberals in here who should be far more wary.
The Democrats may have control but if history tells us anything it is that things can change quickly. Four years is a long time.
I want to see this country remain great, so I would love to see Obama do well. However if anything bad happens he suddenly becomes Jimmy Carter, and in four years power will move back in the other direction even if the Republicans change very little.
