The Barack Obama Group, also known as the BOG . Who are we? We are supporters of our President. Most times this is a safe place for us to celebrate this Presidency unrestricted.

Let me go back to when I stumbled across this group. I joined DU in October of 2012. So yes I am still a newborn here. I was browsing the latest page back in December, I looked to the left of the page. I saw a list that said Democrats, clicked on it and saw Barack Obama, I clicked again and I felt like I had come home. I found the BOG.

I realize many see us as blind supporters, they are wrong. They don't know us, they judge us yet do not really read any of the content that is posted here. They are the ones that are blind to judge us in a knee jerk reaction.

What they fail to realize is we celebrate life. We celebrate a better way of life that our President is working so hard to achieve for us. This comes in baby steps sometimes, we realize the reality that change will not happen overnight. We do not view the world through rose colored glasses. We know the pain and hardships in life. We live it, yet we aren't the ones that are bemoaning our fate. We are not the ones wringing our hands and saying "what if he_____?".

Here at the BOG, which is a huge source of information, we fight for what is right. We focus on the benefits of ACA. We fight and celebrate voting rights, civil rights, women's rights, and so much more.
We actively support GOTV 2014.

The best part here, is that we celebrate a President that is standing us for us every single day. He bears all this nations and the worlds problems on his shoulders. I thank him for that. At the BOG we have his back. This is not a burden anyone could ever bear alone.

We have your back, we have it because you have ours. Thank you President Obama.
