I have not kept my support and admiration for Obama a secret. So it was not surprising when someone asked me about how my support for Obama was doing, a year before the elections. Sure, I am disappointed that all my assumptions about him did not bear fruit, but he cannot be held accountable for the little garden I had built in my head for a more peaceful, tolerant world.
- Passed healthcare reform even with obstruction from the blue "dog(s)" democrats.
- Got Osama in the head while making fun of opposition leaders at the White House press corps dinner event.
- Repealed "Don't ask, Don't tell".
- Credit Card reform, Student Loan reform enacted.
- Got Awlaki without having a soldier step on Libyan land.
- Initiated withdrawal from Iraq.
And many other things that moves mankind forward - even though inch by inch.
So "How is the hope and change stuff working for you" you ask?
Very well, thank you.
Now, on to the reelection campaign of 2012.
