WHY WE’RE THANKFUL FOR BARACK OBAMA!

NOT PERFECT — BUT SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS 8 YEARS.

 

I’M GRATEFUL:

For the room-lighting smile:

*

For the mind that always thinks:

 
*

For preventing a second Great Depression:

*

For the humor:

 *

For bringing the number of women in the Supreme Court to three:

*

For making the White House the people’s house:

*

For 1.1 million jobs created in 2010 alone, more than the entire eight years of George Bush:

*

For The Penny Ice Creamery in Santa Cruz, California:

*

For the love of people:

*

And family:

*

For the First Lady:

*

For Health Care reform:

*

For leaving the past behind:

*

For the world loving America again:

*

For quietly and calmly dealing with crisis after crisis, even if not being responsible for any of them:

*

For being so cool:

*

And fierce:

*

And curious:

*

And imperfect….

*

And not giving a damn…

*

And compassionate:

*

And an inspiration:

*

For saving the auto industry and at least 1.4 million jobs:

 *

For loving the troops:

*

And understanding the horrible price:

*

And bringing 100,000 men and women back from Iraq:

*

For facing the most difficult and loneliest job in the world with grace, dignity, honesty and guts:

*

And despite all the hate, pettiness, racism, corruption and immaturity around, still being the most progressive and ‘for the people’ president in decades:

*

And simply for this:
