As much as I love Obama, I think if I could go back to 2008, I would pick Hillary Clinton, with Obama as the VP.  I think Obama would have won in 2016, and I think the death of Osama bin Laden would have guaranteed Hillary re-election in 2012.  Hillary's experience and connections, especially her past experience in health care negotiations, would also potentially have gotten us a stronger health care bill (not to besmirch Obamacare, but we're really missing that public option).  It's also possible that Obama being next-in-line would have been much more energizing to young voters in 2014, avoiding the voter apathy we suffered that year.
