John Kerry (No Nixon)

John Kerry is the 43rd and current president of the United States, serving with Vice President Gary Locke.

Kerry was elected over incumbent Bill Weld in 2008, and upon election faced a failing economy. He continued Public Works projects started by Weld, and created strong financial regulations. Kerry's time in the senate allowed him to get bipartisan support for several projects, and in January of 2012 unemployment had fallen from 13% when Kerry entered office to 9.8%.

Kerry has also supported Labor Unions as president, opposing any federal legislation against collective action. He also has opposed the outsourcing of jobs.

Kerry has promoted farm subsidies to avoid inflating the price of agricultural products and expanding the student loan program, believing that sending students to college will create jobs in academia.

Kerry became highly popular as President and was re-elected in November of 2012 by a landslide over Republican opponents George W. Bush and Tim Pawlenty by an electoral margin of 487-51.

Kerry is credited for creating the current Democratic "Big Tent", which includes farmers, minorities, union members, college students, academics, women, and protectionists.
