2. As conflicted as I feel, sometimes, about

some of the Prez's stances, this picture encapsulates all of the
reasons I voted for him. Authenticity alone should get him re-elected!

3. Thanks to Rosa Parks, and many others,

President Obama did not have to ride in the back of the bus, and became the President of The United States. It looks to me like he is reflecting on that.

GOTV!

Because of her deed and others brave enough to join her.

5. Here's the original image of Ms. Parks.

The President is actually seated in the row behind where Rosa sat for this famous photo taken on the day the US Supreme Court struck down the segregation law that sparked the Birmingham Bus Boycott six decades ago.

On a cold December evening in 1955, Rosa Parks quietly incited a revolution — by just sitting down.

She was tired after spending the day at work as a department store seamstress. She stepped onto the bus for the ride home and sat in the fifth row — the first row of the "Colored Section."

In Montgomery, Alabama, when a bus became full, the seats nearer the front were given to white passengers.

Montgomery bus driver James Blake ordered Parks and three other African Americans seated nearby to move ("Move y'all, I want those two seats,&quot to the back of the bus.

Three riders complied; Parks did not. http://www.ushistory.org/us/54b.asp
