I'm late to this conversation, but what has been said in this thread is spot on, especially the post that said the day after he stops being black and a Democrat.

What President Obama has accomplished in the face of non-stop obstruction is mind-boggling.

As a nation, we need to be embarrassed at the way we have treated our president. I stopped listening to the pund-idiots long ago and have cut back my visits to DU. We can be just as silly here as the Republicans sometimes.
