Jonathan Chait says Obama has accomplished all of his domestic goals that he listed in his Inaugural Address in 2009. I think when people right the book on the Obama Presidency, it is going to be the most eventful in terms of accomplishment since Franklin Roosevelt's. Consider this from Andrew Sullivan:

Imagine the legacy [at the end of Obama's presidency]: no troops in Iraq or Afghanistan; Gitmo closed; universal healthcare entrenched; Iran’s nuclear threat defused; marriage equality in all fifty states; the end of marijuana Prohibition; and carbon energy cut down to size. Repeat after me: meep meep, motherf*ckers.

Las Vegas couple who spread freedom and liberty by shooting to death two police officers, and a third person delivered a anti-tyranny message as they left home before the ambush with a shopping cart of weapons, a neighbor said. "We gotta do what we gotta do," Jerad Miller told Kelly Fielder, adding that he and his wife, Amanda, were departing for an "underground world." Amanda Miller then embraced the neighbor and said, "I am so sorry." Fielder said she had heard the husband make anti-government statements in the past — including a desire to overthrow the government and President Obama and kill police officers — but was not alarmed by them.

First Read:

"There's an important thing missing from these highlights: direct criticism of President Obama or those in his team... Clinton's book was always expected to be an important tell about her 2016 ambitions: If she aired dirty laundry, she probably isn't going to run (because such criticisms wouldn't help her with the Democratic base). But if she was 95% positive, she probably is going to run. Well, I think we have our answer here, right? This is someone who's still involved in politics, rather than an ex-politician who's ready to dish and tell."

I will be receiving my book Wednesday, and I can't wait to read it. Another excerpt: "I wasn't alone in getting it wrong. But I still got it wrong. Plain and simple." -- Hillary Clinton, quoted in her forthcoming memoir, about voting to authorize the Iraq war. More from Hillary: "“… I should have stated my regret sooner and in the plainest, most direct language possible. … I held out against using the word mistake. It wasn’t because of political expediency. … [I]n our culture, saying you made a mistake is often taken as weakness when in fact it can be a sign of strength and growth for people and nations.” Duh. If only she had said that in 2007 and 2008. She gave Obama an opening by refusing to say that.

Keeping tyranny a bay, Patriot Aaron Rey Ybarra killed a student and shot three others at a Seattle college having researched other mass shootings. The second amendment scholar opened fire at Seattle Pacific University shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday, walking into a lobby of the engineering and math hall, and then fired multiple rounds of freedom and liberty.
