He is relaxed and enjoying his time and will continue to do for remaining term. He got almost everything accomplished he thought he wanted to. A carefree typical Leo.

even if it was done with forethought and not spontaneous, and though it was a solemn occasion, it was a beautiful moment in public life to see a president who is usually so measured break out into song.

i agree i think he has done most everything he set out to do. he has a strong legacy. and he got all of it done despite the obstreperous congress.

Obama’s election in 2008 marked a new dawn for hundreds of millions of people looking to an eloquent, constitutional lawyer for “Hope” and “Change” in America. However, it quickly became apparent that Obama had little substance beyond the slogans branded by his campaign.

With a little more than a year left in his presidency, his milquetoast legacy has been embodied by his greatest skill: wordcraft. Obama’s team has continued, if not exacerbated, most Bush era policies, simply rebranding them in order to appease and confuse the public into compliance.

One of the first things his administration did was declare an end to the “War on Terror” that the Bush sociopaths launched worldwide. Turns out, all they wanted to do was stop calling it a “War on Terror,” making clear that any further military involvement abroad would simply be called “Overseas Contingency Operations.” Six plus years later, and the Nobel Peace Prize winning president now has bombing campaigns in seven different countries under his belt.
