Sometimes I have to pinch myself to still believe it is true.

[David Zephyr]

And I still get so much joy just saying these words: President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

Not a small thing, people. Thanks to all who worked and helped make it happen.

America is in very good hands and that bodes well for the world. Peace.

[graham4anything]

1. Simply the best longest Presidency since LBJ. And, amazingly, the best is yet to come.

[David Zephyr]

6. "the best is yet to come"

I agree...and that's really saying a lot because he has accomplished so much already and against such opposition.

[Zen Democrat]

2. Me too.

hugs old buddy

[David Zephyr]

5. Yea!

I like being your old buddy. I'm one of your biggest fans, but you already know that.

[MarianJack]

4. A big YES to that!

PEACE!

7. Thanks for posting n/t

8. When GWB went to other countries, they shuddered at the thought.

When BHO goes to other countries, they scream and shout like he is a rockstar.

Like the saying goes - I'm loving it! More! More!

[LiberalLovinLug]

59. Here in Canada, and I think around the world in most democracies

Any election he would be in he'd win in a landslide.
It boggles our minds how it could even be close down there.

We are jealous.. .especially since we have a Dubya wanna-be Con as our PM because of a split moderate-left vote.

[Rex]

60. Yes I've read Canada has it's brand of Tea Bagging idiots.

I am sorry you have a Commander Bunny Pants right now. They are the worst leaders ever. I am just thankful enough of us voted him back into office and not Mitt Ritt Downsizer. We dodged a bullet with that one, I think he would have given GWB a run for the 'how fast can I destroy the country' award.

We lucked out, again. I hope we can hold on the WH for a long time.

Does Canada have the option of a vote of No Confidence like the UK does?

[Cha]

9. Yes, America is in good hands and

it warms my heart that there are so many people who appreciate that, David.

[Duval]

10. He is amazing and

I'm glad we worked so hard to get him re-elected. We can be proud that he is our President. We can also respond to his call to "make him" work for the changes we want by taking to the streets, as well as monetary support. And our Country needs "The People" to do this.

[Whisp]

11. I will have to heartily agree with you.

this could not have happened at a better time for us. I am daily amazed at his inner strength and his ability to act grown up all the time. I guess it's not an act then.

and Michelle is great beyond words. I love her like a sister or good friend.

12. Sometimes I have to pinch you to believe its true too!

14. Forgive me if I don't forgive you.

Couldn't you have just let this thread be? Gone on to read a different one, or maybe started your own?

Sheesh.

15. You don't have to rec..

but your comment automatically kicks. While you're keeping your rec to yourself you could have kept your name calling to yourself too...Obama zombies? That's really cute with your avatar and your sig line courtesy of the biggest Obama Zombie.

[SylviaD]

16. Joe is not the president. n/t

[one_voice]

19. But he is an

Obama Zombie--your word.

22. G'bye!!!

40. Damn skippy!

Anyone who asserts that "Obama is just as bad as Bush!" automatically gets launched...

56. Good morning my dear friend sheshe2.

I am really looking forward to sitting down for a very long chat with you. [img][/img]

[nomorenomore08]

23. I agree with the other poster. You don't have to piss all over the thread.

Honestly, I am skeptical of the sometimes over-the-top Obama admiration/worship. But mostly I keep my mouth shut because I'd rather not be rude and insulting to fellow DUers.

[sheshe2]

To our President and First Lady!

Well done, David.

[Brigid]

24. Now I ask you . . .

Did we ever see any pics like this of Pickles and Chimpo? If we did, I know I never saw them.

[tabasco]

25. America is far from in good hands

Crazy-ass republicans are barely in the minority and wield great power.

[Glitterati]

26. Amen!

I don't agree with everything he does, but I am so very proud of him and our country for electing him, TWICE.

An amazing human being, who will one day be recognized for the greatness he brought at a time when this country needed his leadership.

I think we can all agree that part of what makes him great is that amazing, beautiful wife and those amazing young ladies he's so lucky to call his.

29. I'll make this as straight as I can.

I don't give a damn if they are a good-looking, cute couple. They are. They indeed are.

Their skin glows with health and they surely love each other.

But... I don't give a damn about that in a president and a politician.

And I don't understand why anyone thinks that matters.

[Glitterati]

31. It's simple, really

Someone who can invoke the kind of love, admiration and pride we see from them, is a very special human being.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a teenager and/or tween to genuinely LIKE an adult, and show pride and admiration for them in public?

I have a 17 yr. old who is giving me those looks today. But, I signed a note to buy her a car she fell in love with. Give her a few days, and outwardly, at least, I'll become the enemy again. LOL!

[Generation_Why]

37. A lot of it is because of what emanates from the inside as well. nt

[treestar]

52. Some people just cannot be positive about anything

[Bonobo]

54. I am positive about a lot of things.

Stupid fawning over people's good looks and public presentation of warmth and good feelings--especially in a politician -- is not one of them.

[treestar]

55. How about Hollywood?

Do you dislike "stupid fawning" over their good looks?

Should good looking people never hear about it? It's not going to happen. So may as well not rain on this parade. I note you agree, and you could have kept it at that.

[JI7]

30. when i see things like that speech in Israel, when he signed the VAWA

i still get that feeling . but even just knowing he is president makes me feel at peace, the type of feeling that was gone for 8 years with Bush.

[Grateful for Hope]

32. A very big K&R!

[blkmusclmachine]

33. Wish I could agree with you.

But, alas ...

[jazzimov]

34. Enthusiastic K&R.

[Hekate]

35. Same here.

I am still so glad every day.

[Raine]

36. I agree, I still get a thrill whenever I think of them being the First Couple! nt

[Generation_Why]

38. I'm proud of my President.

[cliffordu]

41. I truly do love that couple.

I really do.

They are everything I want this country to reach towards.

Excellence and love, excellence and love.

[subject]

44. It's just so nice to have actual 'people'

in the white house. I'm 40 and I think this is the first time I've ever seen such sincere and honest affection between a flotus and a potus. In fact to some extent it has seemed to be some sort of taboo while in the white house. You can tell just by looking at their body language that it's the real thing. It warms my heart on several levels.

[In_The_Wind]

47. Well put!

[img][/img] thank you! I agree!

50. I second that emotion!

Shame on the level of disrespect the right wing has stooped to in order to paint our commander in chief in the worst possible light, especially FOX news. Love conquers hate! and we've proved that in the last two elections. We don't all have to agree with everything, and it's hard to see the Democratic party pulled so far right as it's been, but still ultimate respect, subservience and loyalty to our commander in chief!
We will not forget this time in history, ever.

[treestar]

51. A person ideally suited to the job

A very good match. We are lucky there. Unlike Republicans, we have good candidate pools.

[just1voice]

57. Hi there sales team!

Thanks for not mentioning a single issue that would require people to think.

[Amonester]

58. Ok, so allow me 2 mention just 1 :)

Can u imagine Rmoney & Anntoinette instead?

Like radioactive fumes all over already......
