Any parent knows that there is nothing we wont do to take care of our kids. And its nice to have somebody getting your back. And thats why the Affordable Care Act made it illegal for bad actors in the insurance industry to discriminate against kids like Avey. And today, Avey is doing just great. She was here just a second ago, where is she? Theres Avey hey, sweetie! So Alycia wrote in she said, The health care law is about people like me. Its AlyciaCare.

In his speech posted at the White House link~
So its a day when we put moms first. And I still remember one time I said to Michelle -- this is back when we had just gotten married and I think Malia had just been born, and we were fussing around Mothers Day, and I said, but you know, how come we do so much stuff on Mothers Day? She says, because every other day is Mans Day. (Laughter.) So this is like one day. And there was, as usual, profound insight in Michelles remarks because moms so often put themselves last; so often they put everything else before themselves.

(9,597 posts)As far as im concerned, simply by getting the ACA passed the man earned my undying support. He did what no one else was able to do. He FINALLY got healthcare reform passed.
That combined with him ending the war in Iraq, supporting gay marriage, saving the economy, refunding stem cell research, allowing women in combat, etc., etc., etc. probably makes him the best president since FDR if not ever!!!
And he still has another 3 1/2 years to go!!!
I tell you,
BEST
PRESIDENT
EVER!

(10,893 posts)Didn't you hear? Obama's not a real progressive. None of that stuff matters because he's a center-right, Moderate Republican in disguise. He doesn't care about you or me.
Joking aside, that alone is a pretty impressive list in spite of the GOP's constant efforts to block him. It makes me sick to my stomach every time I imagine where we'd be had more Dems voted in 2010 and his Jobs Act actually passed in 2011. Now we're stuck with an MLBing (Major League Bullshitting) Congress that doesn't want to do anything except go on Benghazi witch hunts and re-fight lost battles concerning Affordable Health Care (they've tried at least 37 times to repeal it). All of this is not only a waste of time, but also taxpayer money.

(9,597 posts)That is why i feel we need to be united.
I have seen a few anti-Obama threads in GD, and I decided im going to focus on telling everyone here why I think Obama is the best President ever and how we need to unite together against the republicans. Because I really do believe in Obama and the democratic party!
I feel if we unite behind Obama we can bring about the next "age of democrats" and finally take our country back from these right wing extremists!
