He was from California, actually. Born in Yorba Linda - where the presidential library is. Cool about his brother, though - didn't even know he had a brother.
Oops, I actually didn't know where Nixon was from, though his brother lives in Seattle.
I'm a huge Elizabeth Warren fan (spent 4 hours today knocking on doors to help get her elected), but the whole Warren in 2016 thing is ridiculous. A 1st term Senator from Massachusetts who doesn't even finish her term with no foreign policy experience? Oh and a Harvard professor to boot? Democrats would have to be dumb to nominate her. Plus I don't get the sense she'll be all that excited for another hard campaign after this one is over. I think she'll make a great Senator, but president, really?
In 2016, Pres. Obama would wind down his very successful second term. The economy will finally be back on its feet (thanks to the obstructionist Republicans having been reduced to 20 seats in the House and 5 seats in the Senate), grinding out a GDP growth of 8%. Unemployment will be 2%, and Mitt Romney will have renounced his American citizenship, dumped his wife Ann, married 10 others, and fled in exile to the Cayman Islands to be with his money.
Stateside, which Democrat you think will take over the presidency in 2016? Biden and Clinton will be too old by then. Andrew Cuomo perhaps? Mark Warner? Rahm Emanuel?

Yeah, the Democrats would never nominate a first term Senator with no foreign policy experience who was also a college professor.
If Obama is reelected, you can probably forget about having another Democrat POTUS for quite some time.
Maybe. After 8 years, a lot of elections have swung to the other party.
But it is not a given.
Much will depend on people and events that lie outside the Presidency. If the Republican's ideological divide continues into 2016, the Democrats would have to present a terrible bunch of hopefuls to allow a Repub takeover. Another repeat of this year's prolonged conservative fiasco could put the Republican party back to where it was in the 30's, when it took 20 years to put another Republican back in the White House.
And back then, the Repubs only went crazy for 3 1/2 years. It's now 4 years and counting for them.

If obama wins, then I think it will be obama again in 2016. Somehow he will announce an executive order that will extend presidential term limits. More and more people getting on welfare and other entitlements will keep at least half (prob more than that by then) of the people from fighting this. He will buy their vote with our tax dollars, just like he is now.
