For The BOG. Forward~ A reminder.

This video is an excellent reminder of where we were six years ago. Please watch.



Teenagers Team Obama for Betterment
www.barackobama.com/about/barack-obama

You can not tell me that we have not moved forward. You can not tell me we have not made progress. Despite the obstruction from the right from day one, this President has worked tirelessly to better our course. The GOP obstruction is clearly pointed out in this video.

Yes we have had to take baby steps at times, when all we wanted was to leap forward. Yet we still are moving ahead, clearly in the right direction. I give thanks this President and our Vice President.

If you don't realize how bad it was then you can't really appreciate how good it is now.

This is an excellent video to remind us how fortunate we are and why I do appreciate this President and his Team so much!

He does believe in us and has our backs.. why wouldn't I have his?


In 2013, too~


"But there's Still More to Do!"

This is going to be a Good one for GOTV 2014 that will no doubt be Updated!

Why is it that some think it's sophisticated or cool to put him down as if they knew better...... ? It kills me.

Not to mention how unrealistic and false it all is, ignoring all the great things he's done for so many.

Being a witness to how President Obama has evolved on a number of issues the past, almost five years and shared that with us, is a gift. But it sure hasn't been appreciated by enough people. That is shameful!

Don't get me started again................................

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be in a better place.

So, you joined facebook and can access but you just don't participate.. is that it?

'Cause I've been thinking about doing that. Cindy offered awhile ago to walk me through it.. so I could look in on Tim's status.

Indeed!

Never any interest in it. Yet due to my family crisis, you know about that, it was the best way to be updated. There was to much info going around. It was a frantic time.

So yes, I can see family info on a home page. I love seeing what my nieces and nephews are up to. Yet I seldom post.

Try it, it's a connection~

Obviously it's a rich reservoir of people's ideas and PBO quotes that end up in awesome graphics!

So hoping for a miracle so the government doesn't shutdown.

Just got a call from Cindy and told her about our FB conversation. Said we could do it Sunday if all goes well!

Thanks for instigating it, she.. somedays are just like that.

7 minutes and 17 seconds of affirmation: President Barack Hussein Obama - the right person at the right time. he has a very tough spine and is very focused in what he believes - and the best part, he believes in doing what he does for all of america with integrity...not ego - neither his nor anyone else's.

i wish i could meet the man, shake his hand, and tell him i have his back. that is all.

You said that perfectly.

It's the lack of ego that so many can not understand. He finishes a job, then moves on to the next. No dancing or preening. He does his job.

Thank you~
