Absolutely will miss him. I wouldn't take any candidate on either side over him - even the one I voted for.

Would not miss him in the least if Sanders succeeded him.

But that's not super likely to happen.

Given my choices of a worse neoliberal* who helped bring down my party, seeing all the populists go to a right wing authoritarian, or a Goldwater acolyte with a VERY unappealing personal demeanor, I'll definitely miss the President.

And no one in the field but Sanders has a better foreign policy than the President. Clinton pushed for all of the things that I really disagree with him on.

*And yes I will use that word. Market worship is absolutely compatible with being moderately liberal, and both Clinton and the President show it.

I guess, in the sense that whoever comes next is bound to be worse.

No, but I will certainly miss jfern's rants about him being a moderate hero.

Obama was the best president this country has had since FDR.

Even taking politics out of it, I don't see how anyone ranks Obama over Eisenhower.

Because Eisenhower was a senile idiot who started the really disasterous stagd of the Cold War and designed a crappy motorway system. (Abnormal)

The only people who praise Dwight nowadays are WASP supremacis Republicans who are sad that Christians abd the poor made their party electable and dumb leftists who say crap like 'BUT LOL MUH EISENHOWER TAX RATES LOL EISENHOWER IS SOCIALIST LOL'.

I'm not sure I'll miss him, but it'll feel weird without him.

"Could Eisenhower really be simply a smart politician, entirely without principles and hungry for glory, who is only the tool of the Communists? The answer is yes. With regard to ... Eisenhower, it is difficult to avoid raising the question of deliberate treason."
