For my lefty friends-Merry Christmas

Be Grateful :
For the room-lighting smile:

For the mind that always thinks:

For preventing a second Great Depression caused by Bush:

For the humor:

For bringing the number of women in the Supreme Court to 3.:

For making the White House the people’s house:

For 1.1 million jobs created in 2010 alone, more than the entire 8 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:

Being our elected President
