Obama Biden 2012

I'm Grateful (and Proud)

I’m Grateful For the room-lighting smile: For the mind that always thinks:   For preventing a second Great Depression caused by Bush:

For the humor:

For bringing the number of women in the Supreme Court to 3...

For making the White House the peoples house:

For 1.1 million jobs created in 2010 alone, more than the entire 8 years of George Bush:

For the love of people:

*

And family:

*

For the First Lady:

*

For Health Care reform:

*

For leaving the past behind:

*

For the world loving America again...

For quietly and calmly dealing with crisis after crisis, even if not being responsible for any of them...

For being so cool:

And fierce:

And curious:

And imperfect.

And not giving a damn...

And compassionate:

And an inspiration:

For saving the auto industry and at least 1.4 million jobs:

For loving the troops:

And understanding the horrible price:

And bringing 100,000 men and women back from Iraq.

For facing the most difficult and loneliest job in the world with grace, dignity,

honesty and guts:

And despite all the hate, pettiness, racism, corruption and immaturity around,

for still being the most progressive, for-the-people president in decades.

And also for this:  He promised to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." 

Thank you, Mr. President.

 

"It’s up to all of us to defend that most basic American principle of a government of, by, and for the people.  What’s at stake is not just an election. It’s our democracy itself. "
