Subject: RE: BS: Democratic Convention - Now It's About Hillary
You know, Janie, I'm not sure how well strategies and plans will work to deal with the economy, jobs, and world affairs. I think that for the most part, the running of government is a reactive job. People enter positions of power with basic values and basic philosophies, and then react to the situations they encounter. A President may be able to get one or two big things done during an 8-year administration, but maybe not. Obama got through a flawed healthcare plan that his opponents have undermined since the day it passed. He should have passed a comprehensive immigration bill during the first two years when he had a majority in Congress, but he failed at that.

But as a reactive President, Obama has been good. I think Clinton will be, too. Trump would be a disaster - I hope the electorate comes to realize that.
