Someone put this piece on the site I go to each day to get my "Obama fix" - to give me a smile when something ugly is said on the TV or when I read something about him that makes me cringe.I remembered when I watched it the day he gave the speech and it made me cry along with him.

He will go down as one of, if not , the best this country has ever seen. It will take decades and the death of the last of the racists in our country for it to be seen. Our children see no color - they see character.

@nlbama04 And how will he go down as one of the worst ever? Because he tried to erect a government that deviates from the corrupt policies that have plagued this nation for so long? Is it because he is attempting to counteract the negative policies that have sent us into a record deficit? Is it because he is trying to make healthcare a viable option for all Americans? Or is it because his skin is black and does not look like the status quo for which u have grown accustomed? What r u smoking?

[nlbama04]

@manyara02 what are you smoking?! He will go down as one of the worst of all time.

@adelyn123 Actually Pres Obama's approval increased to well over 50% approval after the spill was plugged. I wouldn't go, strictly, by polls. After all, there was a time in our country where former Pres Reagan's poll numbers were 39%. Yet, guess what? He won another term. Grow up. Study the FACTS!! Leave the conjecture & prejudice on the wayside for the unlearned & puppets who stand as talking point machines for the GOP!! By the way, spineless & irresponsible defines George W. Bush!

Barack Obama is/will be named one of this country's greatest presidents.

also one last thing u dumb hick bitch u do realize sarah palin is a dumb ass bitch right or are u jst into the titties over any substance

[solid220]

@adelyn123 ummm wow that entire paragraph jst proved your ignorance. u do realize a surplus means that the country was making money and that surplus could've been used towards are debts HELLO? ANYONE HOME? no damn i knew it. also they did help get the surplus but a few years later with both the white house and congress under REPUBLICAN CONTROL they skyrocked the debt U FUCKING MORON. and plz 66% of regestered voters disaproved of his actions with katrina. and again wrong on the debt look it up

[adelyn123]

@solid220 - Okay buddy, that's why the country rates Obambi's handling of the oil spill worse then Bush's handling of Katrina. Obambi is NOT a leader, he is a spineless little weasel that is in WAY OVER his INEXPERIENCED head! Oh, and the DEBT was NOT a surplus, the budget was (thx to republican congress)-BIG difference but I can understand how a libturd wouldn't know the difference. And while we are on that subject Obambi has increased the deficit more in 18 months than Bush did in 8 years!

@adelyn123 ummm im pretty sure obama isnt an engineer, nor did he cause it. the only thing he can do is deploy as many resources as he can to stop it. also plz stop talking when u gain about 100 pts in IQ then we can talk. also your buddies the republicans cant solve problems lets name the problems they couldnt help with, katrina, 911, the debt in which bush had a surplus when he came into office, also invading a country we shouldnt of been in, and pretty much every issue we face today.
