“This is beyond unifying — it’s electrifying,” said Eugene Sepulveda, a former top bundler who withdrew to take a non-political job early this year. “This man stands for right, despite the political consequences.”

1. This is awesome

The power of the purse. I know I chipped in ! I use it as a carrot whenever he makes a move I approve of!

2. A very small amount of that money raised came from me

and I'll be sending more too.

3. Maybe RMoney might learn it pays to have balls

The president went way out on a limb today. I'm so proud he has the character and intestinal fortitude Romney will never have.

President Obama took a stand on what is still a very toxic issue. I doubt he really lost many votes because all those extreme, punch your girlie son, people were never going to vote for him anyway.

I think it may have actually helped him with that undecided independent voter who wants a leader and not a flip-flopper.

4. But I'm accused of being jaded for thinking this was his ultimate

goal.

7. OMG, the president wants to be re-elected

alert the media.

5. Whoa! Why didn't someone say something before???

Holy cow, act like a Democrat, and Democrats open their wallets and purses. Who knew? Wanna go for double or nothing on letting the Bush tax cuts expire?

6. WoW! That's all I can say.
