He must be made of steel to take all the rethugs have thrown at him and remain calm, controlled and sober. I admire him so much.

Thanks for the post sheshe2.

I'm with you on this.

Yes, Congress has abdicated their responsibility under the Constitution, but it's all crickets at the GOP media circus. Thanks for the pics.

Congress is never admonished on DU. Never once an ounce of blame by the bashers. Noooo Obama sucks, no one else is to blame but Obama. At DU it is all about this President. So many hate him. They think he sucks. This is DU, and that makes me sad.

Now this!

Obama + CIA created ISIS because Bilderberg...

SSDD. Don't even bother to alert that anymore...

strong, focused, courageous, intelligent, compassionate, and visionary, she. We are so fortunate to have him in Office through this unbearably difficult time that the Planet is going through.

Mahalo for your OP, she~

I had no idea of the rich history of that desk.

On a side note, I also didn't realize that tensions were so high between Great Britain and the United States back in the 1850's.
I guess they didn't want to talk about that time period in any of the history classes that I took when I was in school.

Kick out the turds, shills, tea-terrorists and christofascists, and give PBO a third term.

What a difference we would see. !!!!!

They are able to get in the way of the President and vice versa.

And that's why we need to quit letting the Rs win in midterms by staying home, whoever it is that stays home.

And the Rs have their double standards on use of Executive Orders. As long as used within the law, they are fine, and being aggressive about their use is fine with Rs when they have the office.

November midterms. CRUCIAL.

and I've had left-leaning friends on FaceBook laugh in my face for saying I'm proud of voting for him twice (I actually voted for Edwards in the primaries...boy am I glad that vote failed), but I think we will look back fondly on living through his presidency—I do not EVEN want to dwell on what our lives would be like with a President McCain and President Romney. :O

...it's called "crazymaking". (what Boehner / GOP is doing to POTUS with this hypocrisy)

And as Biden famously said, "There's steel in that spine."

God bless our president. He asked for a prayer cover long ago, and many of us try to give him that. Even the atheists and agnostics in their own humanist way, which counts every bit as much. Sometimes I wonder if we're not living under the perfect ancient Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.

But we will make it through. Together. Setbacks will come, but then we will overcome that too. On the right side of history, remember.

yes indeed, Irish.
