Hope and change!

That is what we all supported and voted for in 2008 and again in 2012. This is what I love about President Obama - He really is creating change. He's creating change so fast he's making the right wing's collective heads spin. RW radio is going crazy. The big business war machine that ran this country for so long is going crazy. Bigots, homophobes and those who want to send women back to the 50's or earlier are losing it. What is amazing to me is how fast he is doing it. Changes I thought would take 10 or 15 years seem to be taking place all the time. And he is making it damn hard for the RW/ Republicans to reverse any of it. I am so happy to proudly support President Obama!

Without the help of the GOP our President is still able to make end runs around them!

It is slower than he wants, slower than some here want. However for me he is the best thing that has happened to this country! Ever!

I know in my heart it is much slower than he would like. Slower than I would like, also. But I would rather support a candidate that can get ELECTED and create real change than a loser who can't accomplish anything. Equal rights, women's health care/reproductive rights, health care reform, no more "pre-emptive" wars - Obama has been excellent in making these things reality. I agree that he is the best thing that ever happened to the United States!

That is a very impressive list of accomplishments. Most of them achieved despite stiff Republican obstructionism. Just think what he'd be able to do with a Congress that would work with him!

Morning, Cha!

Thank you!
