For example, do you think for one instant we would have had a president-elect wrongney making a speech, or taking a position, like the one President Obama did in Newtown Connecticut? Do you think the conversation would have been steered anywhere near taking a second look at the 2nd Amendment? HARDLY!!!! I still remember how then-president-elect reagan ( ) was asked for his reaction to the shooting death of John Lennon. And he puked out a bunch of pablum about what an unfortunate thing that was - BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP OUR GUNS! I damn near cried.
And it's just gotten better and better, as I watch President Obama stand SO firm against the assholes in the House and Senate who keep wanting to worship the rich and screw the poor and middle class. He's NOT caving, NOT capitulating, NOT giving in before the negotiations even start. I can't believe it's the same President! I am SO pleased!!! NO buyer's remorse here, WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!
I'm just so proud and pleased and impressed and utterly THRILLED with my President!!! Even gladder now, that he was reelected, than on the night he actually was reelected!
THIS man makes me feel proud to be an American all over again.
GOBAMA!!!!!!!!
