The families of our troops who came home from Iraq.
Ask the parents of sick children with pre-existing conditions who now have coverage and young people who can stay on their parents insurance until age 26, because of the Affordable Care Act.
Ask Gay and Lesbian Americans, who can now serve their country proudly and openly, because DADT was tossed out.
Ask the children who were born in America, but their parents are illegal immigrants. Since they no longer have to live in fear of being deported.
Ask the families of the victims of 9-11. Since Bin Laden is no longer among the living.
Ask women who weren't getting equal pay for equal work, Since the first bill President Obama signed into law was the Fair Pay Act.
Ask anyone who has traveled outside the United States, since Obama was elected America's image has improved.
The economy is moving at a snails-pace, but the Republican Congress has rejected every proposal and every idea that the President has presented them to get the economy moving. It took eight years to get us into this mess and it may take eight years to get us out. There isn't any difference between Mitt's economic & foreign policies and the Bush administrations.
If Bush deserved two terms, Obama definitely deserves another term.
Obama/Biden 2012!
Mitt wanted to know if we're better off than we were four years ago, ask..

Today I switched parties..
I became a Democrat. For the last 28 years I was a registered Independent. Which means I used to get robo calls and other political materials from both parties. I realize that I'll never agree 100 percent with either party, BUT the republican party has moved so far to the right, there's no way I'd ever vote for a republican. All of the moderates have been run out of the party, and I don't see them making a comeback any time soon. It feels kind of weird to finally say... that I'm a liberal Democrat.. Actually, I'm a proud liberal Democrat.
