I don't think Obama will do anything, because I agree with you that he likes having this surveillance and his drone powers. The problem is that Trump might be less responsible with the powers given to him.

Well step 1 is accept that the jobs are gone/will be gone and they aren't coming back. Step 2 is on the TBD. We'll let you know when we promise. Just around the corner really. We promise. I'm serious about step 1 though.

Hillary's problem is that she's just not likable, in the sense that people are not going to get excited to vote for Hillary. Obama got people excited. He had a message he got out to people and they responded in a huge way. I'

There are other good reasons too. The system isn't fair, voters in low pop states have more power than california. The system emphasizes swing states above others, as the country is so split right now. The system is worse for third par

I prefer LINQ and C# lambdas to Java 8, but beyond that. Type inference, properties, extension methods, operator overloading, p/invoke vs JNI (plus C# has better unsafe code support), structs, reified generics, async/await
