[Liberal_in_LA]

I'll start it off.

1. His 1st choice for Supreme Court Justice
2. His tenacity

3. He looks good in a suit

[Hassin Bin Sober]

1. Aqueducts?

are going to turn several of the appellate courts to the left.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. He doesn't have jelly beans on his desk and doesn't wear cowboy boots.

As far as I know.

[SlackWillie]

9. Health care plan only raises payroll taxes for Medicare on all of us from 1.45% per check to 3.25%

with no cap.

[seeviewonder]

20. it only raises the Medicare tax rate for those individuals making more than $200,000 per year and

those married people who make more than $250,000 per year. This is everyone because I don't make anywhere near that; at least I didn't when I had a job a month ago!

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

26. the no cap part, is not a problem for most of us. How about you ?

[Hekate]

60. Is your country being "USACSA" compatible with carrying RW water? Or are you just really rich?

Because as another poster notes in reply to you: unless you and the missus are making more than $250,000 a year, this will not affect you.

And if you are making that kind of dough, just remember that "Taxes are the price we pay for civilization" (Oliver Wendell Holmes, great American jurist) NOT "Only the little people pay taxes" (Leona Helmsley, Queen of Mean).

[Patsy Stone]

[Uncle Joe]

19. 1. He's flexible, intelligent and learns from his mistakes, I believe this ability will

allow him to land on his feet when he suffers setbacks.

2. I like his first Supreme Court Justice as well.

I wish him the best and hope he can become a truly great and transformational President; empowering the people.

Kicked and recommended, thanks for the thread Liberal in LA.

[Vattel]

21. His stimulus plan worked!. He stopped a depression.

His choice for AG was a great one. Holder does care about human rights. He plays basketball.

[bigwillq]

22. I believe him to be a very good father and husband

Those are admirable qualities, especially with politicians.

[lwcon]

23. The ponies I got were adorable

[crumb77]

24. Reversed the ban on stem cell research

closed gitmo
been the only president to get even close to health care reform
cash for clunkers
lowered taxes
Drastically increased America's image to foreign nations
Didn't come from a rich political family

[Bluebear]

25. Welcome to DU! I am with you on stem cell, but Gitmo is not closed yet

[Emit]

27. Welcome to DU, crumb77

:hi:

Thanks for your input.

[Faygo Kid]

28. He is despised by the right people.

The people that I have despised for so many years despise Obama. He is doing something right.

[Brother Buzz]

29. Both President Obama and I share the same enthusiasm for pie

[QC]

32. He picked out a cute puppy. n/t

[Nicole]

33. He's a real lefty

when it comes to his hands.:evilgrin:

[salguine]

35. His tenacity!? Are you high? He caves in and reverses himself at the first whiff of resistance...

on EVERYTHING!

[NYC_SKP]

36. He's Smarter Than and Utterly UNFAZED by all the Wacky Critics on the Right and on the Left.

He keeps his on the prize, keeps the long term goal in sight, stays pretty unruffled.

[readmoreoften]

38. Yes, all those idiots like Chomsky.

:eyes:

[NYC_SKP]

40. I love Noam Chomsky, I do, and when he's President, maybe be He'll be UNFAZED, too!!!

:P

Not all critics are wacky, some are brilliant, others are idiots, still he is UNFAZED!!!

I love it.

Love it love it love it love it!

43. Oh yeah, DU is exactly like North Korea.

:eyes:

Pete Hoekstra Award for Hyperbole goes to you.

[readmoreoften]

50. It's called a joke. Meant for people with what is commonly termed a "sense of humor"

and, yes darling, humor does invoke hyperbole as one of its forms. :eyes:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

54. Comparing DUers to Kim Jon Il's troops isn't a joke anymore than comparing them to Nazis, "commies"

or anything else like that would be. It's a broadbrush attack.

[readmoreoften]

70. It's a joke. And you're the one rehashing it. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.

But I did repost my criticism of our leader with no reference to his many deeply devoted supporters. It is just such a terrible shame that so many take criticisms of him as a wound inflicted into their very own souls.

[SPedigrees]

42. We are no longer a despised nation everywhere in the world.

And our president is no longer an embarassment to all Americans.

[NYC_SKP]

47. That one is HUGE! thanks! nt

[Kind of Blue]

44. He is No coward!

KnR

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

45. Health care reform.

He's about to do what no other president in history, or their spouse, has been able to accomplish.

[femmocrat]

46. His tenacity.

This will put to rest all the talk about how he hasn't accomplished anything.

[FrenchieCat]

48. He goes for the long view,

as opposed to being a reactionary.
Also he is not a rigid ideologue,
and believes more in getting things done,
than winning an argument so he can say he was right.

Plus he is very intelligent,
and doesn't care too much what everyone thinks.
(When he sees a link, he probably actually goes to the story
and reads it as opposed to taking the word of those around him.)

Plus he's Black, and in my book, that's a very good thing!

[readmoreoften]

49. If he was really good, we wouldn't need reminder threads about how good he is.

I'll post it again without the "offending" aside.

[timeforpeace]

51. He's not Bush is the beginning, middle and end of the story.

58. Not "Marxist Enough"? Did you get that red-baiting from Glenn Beck or did you come up with it on

your own?

68. So you're saying that Obama=Bush? Or you're admitting that you sound like a red-baiting freeper.

Oh wait, not all red-baiters are in the Republican Party. In fact, not all anti-worker, anti-choice, anti-LGBT shills are in the Republican Party either.

[amborin]

64. "a successful Democratic President"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

by DLC standards, not by authentic Dems' criteria

[Hekate]

53. Obama has mandated buttery popcorn!

And he is tenacious.

Hekate

[SPedigrees]

55. And he can pronounce 'nuclear.' nt

[Tailormyst]

56. He is good on stem cell research

[Hekate]

61. He's so damn intelligent he makes the Repubs' brains look like peeled grapes...

I like all those things in a leader.

Hekate

[AnnieBW]

62. Michelle, Malia, Sasha, and the FGOTUS
