I love the things he is pulling off since the election. The fact that it has the republicans heads spinning is just an added bonus - call it the sumptuous peanut butter icing on a moist dark chocolate cake - delicious.

3. He slammed the Beltway corporate lackeys with facts and called on women because they are more

comfortable with them and none of them are corporate lackeys.

Too, too sweet, seeing the long sad faces of the corporate shills.

Obama knows what is going on with the propagandized media, where GOP insanity results in no consequences, so it continues.

A subtle first salvo against all the lies they spread?

How worse will they respond than they already are?

8. Today's press conference put us in the mood to Christmas shop!

And we did! Noticed that our fave Christmas Tree lot folks were out of trees and headed home. Practically nothing is on sale like over the past 12 years. Shelves are empty earlier than usual.

Seems like Christmas came early for Obama AND Democrats. (Everyone really except Republicans).

In a way I don't look forward to the next 2 years in politics; on the other hand I do. I was depressed a couple of weekends ago but the Cuba business cheered me right up.
