HOW PREZ OBAMA CAN HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SECOND TERM..

1. Communicate more often thru digital/social media with voters about EVERY issue. Communicate as hard as you did during the campaign. Don't ignore the people in your base, we need bite-sized talking points on each argument/issue... Dont ignore your huge email list..USE IT!!

2. Realize that the campaign doesn't end with a win.. It only ends for the guy who lost. The winner has to continue campaigning to get HIS issues passed past roadblocks by taking the argument to the people. Don't forget the theatre that is necessary to win the public to your side.

3. Use MSNBC the way Republicans use FOX, it's dumb to let a resource go un-used.. Republicans use FOX to create and maintain narratives.. You have to support progressive media like MSNBC. This will, in turn, help their ratings and provide a more powerful ally in communicating to like-minded, socially active Americans when it counts.

4. When The Congress won't work with him, Prez Obama should find a Republican Mayor or Governor to work with on a specific project.. This will show that he IS willing to work with the other side and that the problem is THE CONGRESS.

5. Second term Presidents only really have 2 years to get stuff done, after that he becomes a "lame duck" as focus turns to candidates who will run in 2016.

6. Have a plan B, just in case The Republicans NEVER WORK WITH YOU. If they threaten to filibuster in The Senate... make them stand there and talk and when they stop, hold the vote.

7. Give special focus to young people of color in a speech, book, or initiative.

8. NEVER take the Rush Limbaughs, Bill O'rellys, Shawn Hannitys seriously.. they couldn't beat you when they wanted to most. They are just big mouthed loser windbags.

9. Realize that Repubs are going to start to build an argument to IMPEACH you.. it's what they did to Clinton, it is what is going to happen to you. BE PREPARED!

10. Talk these days is all about the "Fiscal Cliff" (the fact that The Bush Tax Cuts expire at the end of the year & that automatic cuts will go into effect). The President SHOULD NOT FORGET about the fact that debt ceiling will have to be raised next year.. He MUST make sure that the debt ceiling is part of the negotiations or we will be right back here next year!

11. During the campaign, Prez Obama said that one thing he regretted about his first four years, is that he did not communicate as well as wished he did...

He MUST communicate better and more often!!

..GOD BLESS YOU, MR. PRESIDENT
& GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

"STILL I RISE" poem by Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
