and was in the war room helping ensure that anything that looked like voter suppression on election day was immediately addressed.

Can't stand his policies on the war on terrorism (from NSA to Gitmo to targeted assassinations). Hated his interactions with the LGBT community through most of his first term.

Loved that he was able to get insurance reform through (even though I would have preferred single payer).
