I'm just Very Proud......
that we have this President and our First Lady representing our country,
and I'm proud that American voters put him there....
and I don't give a shit what anyone has to say about it
if it ain't positive.

he's shaking every person's hand, it seems! And I LOVE that so many Irish people are so happy to be just SEEING him, not to mention all of those claiming to be related to him with pride! :patriot:

6. Whether he will or not......I'm proud on this day,
Edited on Mon May-23-11 12:34 PM by FrenchieCat
that we had the wisdom and made the effort to get him there.

What we choose to do in 2012, or 2016 is ours to determine (kindof)....
and so till then, I will enjoy the hell out of my President.....
as I won't wait to remember what it was like.....as I'm in the moment!

I know a good deal when I see it.... :patriot:

5. That was a great speech, as was the speech welcoming the Obamas.
I was proud also; nice to see how beloved he is from another perspective.

10. Did you see him just talking on someone's phone? The person must've asked him if he could
say hi to someone who couldn't be there. He did it!

12. Me too, Frenchie. And I find myself extra proud of Michelle
lately. To me she's a perfect first lady. I don't always agree with Mr. Obama, but I will back him all the way. He's a good President, but he would be a great President if we didn't have so many losers in Congress.

14. Me too
I couldn't help but smile the whole time through his speech

Also couldn't help but remember how much the opposite I felt about GWB, how I couldn't bear to hear him speak and had to turn him off before subjecting my poor sensitive ears to his voice.

15. Tickles me no end
that I voted for him! Oddly enough, none of the Bush voters I know ever held such joyous sentiments about their choice. . .

18. My husband and I were just saying the same thing.
Edited on Mon May-23-11 04:34 PM by pamela
We were talking about how America just looks so much better to the rest of the world simply because we elected this man. I think people in other countries thought we were all a bunch of hillfucks when we re-elected Bush in 2004 but their opinion changed when we elected President Obama.

Under Obama we're the Smartest Country in the Room.

23. I think we will see
crowds and rallys similar to this in 2012 around the US. I can't wait to kick off the 2012 campaign, Obama will need his rest this summer. Well maybe not, he has that superhero mindset and stamia.
