Great catch, Steve!

Jimmy Carter is a close second.

Go Obama ! Go Dems ! GOTV 2014 !!

Happy Birthday President Obama! Thank you for helping strengthen the economy and keeping us out of stupid wars. Thank you for refocusing attention on the middle class and working poor. Thank you for helping pass, seemingly against all odds and with nearly everyone complaining, the most significant health care reform of our generation. Thank you for being a leading voice in expanding rights to include more and more people who in the recent past suffered horrendous legal discrimination. Thank you for bringing your brilliant, generous wife Michelle to the world stage, and for her work with veterans and kids. Thank you for inspiring me to actually care about local politics, enough to get involved, for the first time in my life. Keep fighting till the end of your term. It is very much appreciated.

I won't be entirely happy until we can also address him as Chief Justice Obama. SCOTUS is where he's most needed next.

He was actually born at 7:24pm and yes in Honolulu, HI, USA .. I remember that from his long form birth certificate posted online.

OTW question, do you like Honolulu ? When I was there, I liked it. I didn't see much of the city, only the part near Waikiki Beach and the way to the airport.

where Honolulu is the capital.

But, I have been to Honolulu a couple of years ago and it was just like any other big city on the mainland. I couldn't even tell I was on an Island. But, that was just my inner city experience.. others may have another perspective.

Were you just there passing through?

this way again.

It reads, Made in the USA.

But I can't bear to use it for coffee. What if I dropped or chipped it? What if this, what if that? So it sits safely on my desk where I use it as a pen holder.

stellar pen holder!

It will be very interesting to see what he does with the next two years, and indeed the rest of his life.

For a young guy, he's pretty impressive.

And put up with from the other side of the aisle.

many more.

Happy Birthday Mr President!









Thanks for the party Steve!

Would ya just look at his expression there as an adult!

So long farewell, adieu~

LOL!

Happy Birthday Mr President!



See ya~

SO SUE ME!!!!

I feel your laughter

53 years young!

you couldnt come up with this guy, too good to be true in so many ways.

Sure, he aint liberal enough for me, but he sure is bad ass enough for righty, they just hate him and that makes my day...

President Obama's in quite a different situation. He has to do what he can to nudge the country forward, and the Willfull Idiocracy can only be prodded so hard before they stampede in an even worse panic. Even so, President Obama has done a great job against insanely savage opposition. In his heart of hearts, I believe, he's far less centrist than some misperceive him to be.

I think we will see that even more in the coming years, both during his Presidency and well past it. I hope we get another President as great as him in my lifetime. I doubt it will happen. If it does I will be very pleasantly surprised. He has stimulated me to open my heart in a very positive manner, toward people from all walks of life. Hope you enjoy a wonderful week.

As to another such great president, we might be very blessed with any number of our candidates. But no one will ever be him. Hard act to follow.

I confess one reason I appreciate President Obama so much - he just makes me happier.

It's going well. I took my dad out for a birthday dinner this evening. Yes, his birthday is August 4. I told him that what I've learned both from President Obama and from my dad is that if you open your heart to people from all walks of life, rich or poor, male or female, gay or straight, achievement oriented or non-achievement oriented, it can make you and those around you happier. He paused for a long while and said thank you and that it really means a lot to him.

Both my parents are gone now. But two things Dad always said that remind me of President Obama:

1) Beware the wrath of a patient man.

2) Only a jackass answers every donkey that brays.

his actions prove that he is in a situation most of us cant appreciate

...and give him a belated November birthday present of Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress.

Another great day for America!

Gotta love it.

Posted yesterday, "Happy Birthday Mr. President. And thank you for putting up with all the crap."

and got a "Ditto what (Sleepless) said!" from an Obama supporter in a thread that was being hijacked.

Dear Skinner, of course this site is just full of Democrats.

He'll still have a large chunk of his life ahead of him after this presidential stint! Good for him!

Hi Steve. Hope you're doing well, and thanks for posting this!
