I planned on not giving any money to Obama this time....

I signed up for $50 a month! Worth every penny if the GOP does not control the whitehouse!

I think Obama has done a good (but certainly not perfect) job as president given the giant pile of shit he's inherited. But no matter how well we think he's done, the alternatives would be absolutely disastrous.
