Obama is a once, maybe twice in a lifetime candidate--and it wasn't just him, it was the package he came with (Michelle and the girls) that amplified his "it" factor.
Regardless, everyone needs to focus and adjust their expectations for this cycle. We need all hands on deck to remove the GOP, clean up trump's mess, and reform our elections to make sure this disaster never happens again..

A good plan for our future is what we need.
Then WE need to make sure our candidates carry out OUR plan.
If you're looking for "perfection" in a POTUS candidate, you'll never find it.
