A nation of lucky bastards.

If you have a problem with President Obama, then I have a problem with you. Because we are beyond lucky to have a president as intelligent, personable, honest, fair-minded and reasoned as our brilliant president. And any carping you do has got to be related to something other than his ability to govern. So what's your problem?  Obama has saved us from financial ruin, he has created jobs, he has fought for the rights of women, and worked to raise the minimum wage. He has worked tirelessly for you and me against the incredible odds of a racist Republican congress ever eager to go to war and enrich their manufacturing pals.  He has been road-blocked constantly and kept his cool in a way few men ever could. He has been vilified constantly, had his wife ridiculed for her efforts to improve America's health and done far more for America than was ever asked of him.  Imagine what our country would be like with war-happy President McCain, especially if he died in office and we were governed by a petulant President Palin who doesn't even know the address of the White House. Imagine where we'd be with President Romney and Vice President Ryan, two men who have nothing but contempt for 47% of Americans. President Obama, by his own admission, is not perfect, but he's far, far, far closer to perfect than any of the wildly imperfect Republicans who are constantly finding fault with his minor and completely non-existent flaws.
