Barack Obama
Related: About this forumHi, BOG!!!
Oh, wow, I just returned to DU after a looooooong absence. And the BOG is still here! I think I did start this group back in '08. And now-two-term President Obama has not disappointed me. He has made an excellent President.
His eloquence has continued to inspire us. His family -- Michelle, the girls, Grandmother -- have graced the White House. His policies and achievements have made us a greater nation. Thanks to all of you for carrying the proud BOG banner through all these years!

(135,425 posts)It's kind of ugly outside of the protected groups--wear armor when you venture out!!
Lots of newcomers with hate in their hearts! Lots of people who haven't posted since, oh, 2011 or so--I guess they only come out for the Presidential contests! Lots of people who don't care about the TOS. Snark, snark and MORE snark! I despair of having a civil discussion!!

(38,402 posts)one post in GD which asked if ppl were vegan, or other. Posted that I was a pescatorian. Thought maybe that was safe.

And we don't care what religious affiliations you espouse - it's still a big Democratic tent 'round here!

We are so lucky to have President Obama and his beautiful family grace the White House with dignity and humanity for all these years.

(38,402 posts)I notice your use in a post of that word "fearless." I've been so thrilled by that, by our Pres breaking free after the last midterm under his watch, and saying: "I know what I'm doing, and I'm fearless." And then just getting long overdue things done, one by one.
sheshe2
(87,213 posts)yes he is fearless. He is unfettered now, the GOP never wanted him to succeed. They foolishly cast him adrift so he would stand alone. They were the ship of fools, it is their boat that is sinking, not Obama's.
The first mate was John Boehner here~ Yes indeed, it is the worst trip they have every been on. Obama has swept the floor with them.
Their grade: Fail!
It is their boat that is sinking, not Obama's. He has his pen and his phone and the and he has brass B***s to see it through.
The Prez: + 100000000000000~

(4,309 posts)Long story - some financial problems, computer died, family issues, etc. Things are looking up and I have this new pretty cool laptop I can use to get on DU. Still learning how to use it and don't know how to post graphics (like you taught me) but it is all good. So much going on that I had to get back! Love the peace dove graphic ( I'm very much into peace). I'll be around!

Cha
(305,012 posts)Yeah, so many variables can come into play to obstruct us from what we'd like to do. Glad things are looking up!
Anytime I can help with more instruction on how to post images.. please let me know.
Good to hear you're going to be around.. it's going to be a long year until the primaries are Over.. and the GE!.
Kath1
(4,309 posts)It is going to be a long year. Primaries, GE. I'm exicted and nervous at the same time. I'll PM you about images (thanks!).
I know peace is a priority with you, also!

This man negotiates for peace and gets nothing but grief for it.
Hopefully, reason will prevail here!
Cha
(305,012 posts)Peace, love, equality - all that cool stuff.
DeepModem Mom
(38,402 posts)And you know it, Obama is smarter than all of them. I'd forgotten about him giving them notice about what he could do with his pen and his phone. Yessir!!! That pen and phone have been busy!!!
The BOG forever!!!!

This group has been an oasis of reason and sanity here. And I couldn't agree more about President Obama. I am soooo proud to have voted for him in 2008 and 2012. He hasn't let me down.
Welcome back to DU and the BOG!
PEACE!!!

I might be accused of 'worshiping' him by some at, and no longer at, DU.
I accept that description.

(53,661 posts)It's an honor to have you posting here again. This was my first safe refuge at DU after DU2 turned into DU3 and it was like torture too many days.
I had to make a strong disclaimer (steve2470 still uses it when he posts here) as we were trolled horribly for a while. The occassional one shows up and the hosts talk to them to give a chance. Usually they won't delete something ugly, so they get banned.
I was not here in 2008 and only joined right after the election in 2010 and it was a relief for a short while. The BOG, AAA, HRC and less often HOF are where I've posted. Also steve's Weather Watchers.
Some say it's no worse here than it was in 2008 or 2010, but really this place just - well, forget it. I'm so glad to know you were a force behind this group.
As far as the GOP and the other varieties of haters go, 'They Mad? They Stay Mad!'

DeepModem Mom
(38,402 posts)those clips of our Pres! Thank you. I will NEVER forget when he said, "I won both of 'em." Not only the smartest guy in the room, but the quickest!
Happy to be back!
Cha
(305,012 posts)He was, is, and no doubt will be the very best.
I feel so fortunate that I have appreciated him while he's in Office.. It's quite a ride!
I'm also grateful for all the members of the BOG, and those who didn't hang out in the BOG but supported President Obama on DU.. who have celebrated Obama's Presidency right along side.. through thick and thin.
Peace Love and Aloha to you, DeepModem MOm~

(305,012 posts)He and Michelle have made so many connections these years while he's been POTUS.. it's going to be interesting to see what they do post Presidency. We'll be hearing more from Barack Obama.

(27,835 posts)When I joined this group, we were relegated to a small corner of DU where we could celebrate the accomplishments of Our Democratic Prez without being harassed on DemocraticUnderground.
And we here we are all now -- still relegated to a small corner of DU where we could celebrate the accomplishments of Our Prez without being harassed on DemocraticUnderground.
Well, at least we all have each other - and that's not too shabby!
