what are some the days you felt best about having voted for Obama?

[dsc]

For me there were probably two days that rank among the highest. One was the signing of the health care bill and the other was the signing of the end of DADT. Truthfully I didn't think DADT would end up going. But it did. And while I originally opposed the placement of the signing ceremony, I now feel after having watched it again, that more signing ceremonies should be done that way. It allowed for some of the participants to feel ownership. It was both a joyful and cathartic.

4. Every time I see a picture of Obama with his family and

every time I see a picture of Obama with children.

The day Osama Bin Laden was killed.

The day the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the ACA.

Every day I realize that Obama policies would have been far more successful if the Republicans in Congress had not set out to obstruct all of his proposals.

5. When my 25 yo son went into hospital. When I saw my black friends cry for joy.

When Obama was welcomed with respect the world over. When he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Act.

Today. Every day.

6. There've been a lot.

To be honest, I've also been disappointed many days, but I've never regretted my vote. I didn't watch the convention. I have a very weak stomach, but after reading the comments here, I donated. President Obama needs 4 more years, and am terrified of a Rmoney presidency because we can't afford to go back again. We are at the precipice, just like we were in 1980. We were there in 2008 and we're more so there now. Collectively, we're going to choose a path of exclusion and greed, or inclusion and compassion. I hope with everything I am that it's the latter.

7. Tonight. The Republicans proved they are the "GET OFF MY LAWN" party.

8. tonight was a good moment

9. It was heartwarming to see

the excitement of the young people when he said that young Dreamers would not be deported. And as far as the gay issue for me it wasn't so much the repeal of DADT although that was real concrete change but to hear him say that he truly had changed his mind about gay marriage because as a Christian he did use to believe that marriage was between a man and a woman. So, for him to truly change his mind on that was heartwarming as well. And yesterday when I heard that he might actually address Citizens United I got really excited. But as far as what affects my family personally it would definitely have to be the Affordable Care Act. I know my family has personally benefited from it already and am so grateful to him for having the courage to do what no other President could do. Oh, and I can't forget about taking money from private school loans and putting it back where it belongs. My daughter is going to college next year and will need those federal student loans. The more I think about it the longer the list gets. He has done some wonderful things even with the party of no opposing him at every corner.

16. Wow! Loaded question. I'll bite.

I love my president. Recently there are many, many days I have been exceptionally proud of President Obama.

The most important of them all is the one which will likely have the most lasting cultural influence. Like MLK's speech at the Lincoln Memorial, I am most proud of Barack Obama, our president standing tall and stating in unequivocal terms that marriage equality is non-negotiable.

Overnight, that simple pronouncement made a huge cultural change in the USA. The pundits wrung their hands about how blacks didn't like gays too much and the black churches might undermine the President's resolve on this issue. And they very well may have been correct.

But look what happened, and this is what a President can do with the bully pulpit -- I hope the President has learned this in the days to come. A few weeks later, the black voters polled 94 to... fucking zero for our President. I burst my fucking buttons when I heard that.

I will not attribute that solely to his pronouncements on marriage equality. But I would bet my last dollar that it not only didn't harm Obama, it likely solidified anybody who was only inclined to support him. More importantly, it cast a shadow over the stark rhetoric of the intolerance of the Republicans.

The African-American vote turned around after President Obama's marriage equality announcement. It might have done so anyway, but you will never convince me that this didn't have a positive influence.

With all the talk of limited government, what could be worse than one that peeks into your bedroom. I think African-Americans may be particularly sensitive to these issues. That may be why Mitt has a big goose egg with them.

That was my defining moment, although I was already well onboard. I don't think any President could have pulled this off with such simple elegance. The proof is the vast number of echoes from diverse cultural corners in the following days.

This was utterly beautiful. The entire country changed at that very moment. And everybody who was paying attention knew automatically that this was a very Presidential, and very personal, decision.

This decision brought tears to my eyes. I knew that he may have sunk his election, and undoubtedly so did he. It was a bold move based not on politics, but on pure ethical judgement.

There have been many others, but this one stands out. It was very risky, but his convictions ruled the day. He was willing to risk his reelection for it.

That takes a lot of fucking guts. That's what I want in a President.

17. good answer

I hope this uptick survives the campaigning in the states that vote on marriage this year. We have seen wonderful polls in the early goings on these campaigns only to see the elections go the other way.
