The President Obama Appreciation Thread!

We were lucky to have such a fine individual as president. Those from our side who throw crap at him are ignoring all the good he did for America and the world. We need someone with his intelligence and moral compass to bring us back from the hell we are in!

Thanks, 44!

He tried to "work" with the Reps when it was useless. There are other things but those, as is this post, are just my opinion. You don't need to hear that, now. Anyway, I appreciate what he did for the average American worker.

I don't expect my president to walk on water, but Barack Obama was certainly an Olympic-level swimmer.

Thank you President Obama! I will always regret the terrible treatment you received from our slimy Congress and conservative media while you were in office. They behaved disgracefully, but you endured anyway.

Obama governed within constraints he did not create.

Often, the choice he had to make was from a menu of horrible options.

Kill Bin Laden outright, or try to capture him and return him alive and put more lives at risk? Bring his body back to America and offend the entire Muslim world, or dump him in the ocean and offend the entire Muslim world?
