Your anti-Obama memes are wearing thin. [View all]

First of all, I don't always agree with the man. Sometimes I have been right, sometimes I have been wrong. So don;t hit me with that whole "cult of personality" meme because yeah, he makes pretty speeches but actions always speak louder than words. But his actions have won my trust.

First of all, let's cut the guy some slack. No other President in the history of the US has inherited TWO wars along with a major Recession threatening to become another Great Depression, while battling the image of the unconstitutional "Unitary Executive" dictatorship that Bush's leadership was leading to. Seeking a consensus from the American public, All the time fighting opposition from the opposition party because "he was a Democrat" and also because he was black - while fighting opposition within his own party because "he didn't make thing's happen quick enough" - which seems ironic because the only way he could have dome it "quick enough" was to be a Dictator under the "Theory of Unitary Executive" which he had promised to undo.

Regardless of the over-whelming opposition that he has had to overcome, he has still managed to get through some land-breaking legislature.

Under this President, DOMA ended. True, it was a SCOTUS decision, but he's the one who declared that the administration position was that it was unconstitutional, which kept the admin from successfully defending it. So, I count that as an Obama win for LGBT rights. Using the Constitution.

Under this CiC, DADT ended. And he did it purposely and slowly, to make sure that it won't be back.

And that is a mark of this administration - he "could" issue XO's that could be easily overturned by the next President - or he could have the Law changed, which not only is constitutional but binds the next President to follow the rules.

This President has done more for Liberal values than any other President in history.

Accept that, and then let's accept what the next Liberal President will do to advance our cause.

Baby steps.

If you want it all now, then you want it to fail. You are anti-Progressive. Yes, you heard me, you are anti-Progressive. Because real change TAKES TIME.

Real Liberals have patience. Actually, patience is a part of the Liberal definition - because we wait until understands our point. We are against forcing our opinions on anyone.
