Do you know what President Obama did today? He calmed us down.

The people who need the help might not know that, but we do. He assured us that the
government won't fail us, he's there and the government is there to take charge and
eventually fix this.

I fucking love that. Rock on, my President!

Barack is a great president and a working leader. Romney proves himself again and again as a clueless selfish fool.

We must encourage any US citizen concerned about maintaining a country that works to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity vote for OUR PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA and our hard working Democratic representatives.

Obama is doing a great job in the aftermath of Sandy. No "heckuva job Brownie" in the Obama administration. Obama is showing that sometimes we really do need government in our lives, and I think Repukes like Chris Christie are finally figuring that out.

all day, got the impression Christi took strength from Obama. I think
Christi was truly overwhelmed ( more than understandable) and he
needed the reassurance and support from Obama. Seriously, everyone
watches and wonders how he does it.

He treats everyone the way he would like to be treated. It's not just leading by example for the country, but for the people he's father, husband and friend to, people and children of this country in his life to whom he needs to give hope. Millions of young people have not seen a president really competent in domestic matters. Obama will set that standard. I love this president, too.

This may sound kind of corny, but it's true; and if he gets another 4 years I know that things are going to get better.
