The Senate Just Cemented Obama's Judicial Legacy

[Major Hogwash]

68. President Obama has been a HUGE inspiration to me.

I don't know how he does it -- yoga, kung fu, tai chi, his religious faith, something.
But, he never lets the bastards get him down.

I, myself, stopped getting so super frustrated by just watching him in action these last 6 years.
He leads by example, that much is obvious.
Back when I was getting pissed off about the bullshit the Republicans were pulling, a little over 4 years ago, it was because at the time they were filibustering and trying to block everything that President Obama was trying to do.
But, then suddenly, I realized he was still moving the needle.
He was still making progress.

The Republicans weren't stopping him, at all.
They were slowing him down some, but they couldn't get to him.
They couldn't get in to his head and make him think of quitting trying.
To get him to think "it isn't worth the effort".

No, not this President!
There were times when he didn't move the needle very much at one time, and there were also times that the needle didn't appear to move at all, but President Obama never lost ground!
He is laser focused on his agenda, and he doesn't waver from obtaining the goals that he set out to accomplish.

He is a freakin' genius; I can barely keep up with him, just hearing about the accomplishments that he has made.
Every single day there is some good news about what he has just finished doing, or some news about the next part of a project that he is already working on, or news of him starting on a whole new project.
The man is a freakin' dynamo!
He doesn't slow down!

Clinton was not like this.
There were several long stretches of time when it was so quiet that it made me wonder who was in the White House when Bill was the President.

Not so for this President!
He has been going from crisis to crisis, solving very complex problems along the way, reaching out to others to get advice, or reaching out to give advice, or to give aid to people who need it, or to give comfort to people in pain.
He reaches out to people all of the time in order to include them in his decision-making process.
He's a very inclusive politician.
He wants everyone involved.

President Obama is a total human being.
He transcends what we normally expect from our political leaders.
He is what Buddhists refer to as a master, because he has successfully mastered his own life.
There is much to learn from him still to come in the next 2 years.

That picture of him is a prime example of why the Republicans hate him so much.
Instead of it being a picture of him scowling or pouting, he is laughing his ass off.
And that is because of the quite confidence he has deep in his soul knowing that what he is doing is the right thing to do.

President Obama knows that he has set the bar for the next President back up high, where it belongs.
He deserves respect for restoring dignity and honor to the highest elected office we have in our democratic republic, this country we call the United States of America.
We're really lucky to have him as our President.
Millions of people in other countries know that is true.
And that is why President Obama is so beloved around the world!
