I believe: The GOP, as a party, understands this and can afford to be patient. By virtue of having unlimited means, most politicians today are downright blasé. Republicans have been able to make strides against unions one decade at a time. The fact is we need more unions, but they died such a slow death, it seems they just vanished.

Still, Obama's long game reminds me of a saying my grandma framed for me when I was younger - "God give me patience, and I want it right now."

And I'm so glad he is president.
