Mahalo for the Vid.. we have come so far since bush tried to destroy our country.. and it's because of Obama and his Team.

Now we need a Democratic President who will build on all that's been accomplished so far!

In the 60 Minutes interview last night he said he thought he could win a third term. He's right. I think he clearly would given this pew poll saying:

"Obama’s overall job rating is 46%, but Democrats are overwhelmingly supportive of the president. Fully 83% of Democrats approve of the way Obama is handling his job, compared with 43% of independents and just 9% of Republicans."

Drat! Republicans in freefall and our ace is forced to sit on the sidelines.

There is so much a Republican president and Republican Congress would start dismantling - and nothing could stop them.

Grover Norquist has often said the only qualification for a Republican president is to sign Republican legislation.

Democrats have much higher standards and aspirations, and now is the time to continue pushing the progressive agenda, not risk turning it back over like we do every 8 years.

We need to stand behind the Democratic candidate who will assure us victory, not a crapshoot! We have one today, and every indication is she will only get stronger!

Not to mention - we need LESS prosecution of the Banksters- not more!

Whistleblower prosecutions - I'm all for that.

Bring back Eric Holder as Attorney General!



And Drone Strikes - I'm all in favor of them no matter who they hit even if they target American citizens - unless it's a Republican pulling the trigger and then I'm strongly against them.


Bring more of that stuff!!
