Hope and Change

Isn't that idea what motivated and inspired us in 2008 when we were mired in economic collapse and illegal war under that horrible Bush administration? I still believe in it. President Obama has worked tirelessly and aggressively to make "hope and change" a reality for all Americans despite the hateful obstructionism of the Republican party and Fox/hate radio. His accomplishments in spite of that have been very impressive. Let's all do everything we can to give him a House of Representives he can work with in 2014. When Democrats win, we all win. Let's resolve to make the last years of his Presidency successful, significant and something we will all be proud of!

Obama is in shit only because the crazy GOP is able to control the dialog, and the House.

I am with you, and I hope that the rest of DU is also.

Let's keep moving FORWARD! I just love PBO and am so so frustrated by the oppoition he faces. He does such a classy job in dealing with it.

However, we have to have a congress that the President can work with in 2014. If we do that then we will be making great strides forward.

We start here in MASS with a special election for Kerry's Senate seat. We are 30 days out, Kath.

That done we all need to vote in 2014!

And I hope it will be a sign of things to come! I'm still thrilled over the re-election but there is still work to be done. Everyone get out and VOTE!
