Barack Obama Appreciation Thread [View all]

Thank you Barack Obama for ending the Great Recession, hastening our exit from Iraq and Afghanistan, putting Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor on the Supreme Court which ushered in marriage equality, and putting us on the path to universal health care.

Thank you for being a great role model. Even a Deplorable would have to concede you have been a great father and husband.

Oh, your successor isn't fit to carry your briefcase.
