I never had a chance to wish you all a Happy Holiday and am a day late for A Happy New Year. No matter, this year in some ways makes me sad. It is our Presidents last.
Yet look at him. Look at his smile. That man went through hell and back trying to right a Bush economic disaster. He was ridiculed, despised, denigrated and told that he was less than a man.
Yet he brought a grace and dignity to the White House as did his family. Is he perfect? No, never said that. However he is the best president of my lifetime.
The pic makes me smile, actually I LOL. He is so cool.
Happy New Year to you all here and the other groups I missed so dearly.
This is the only time I'll do the CAPS thing. Love you SHE!

(314 posts)Could not agree more. I don't agree with President Obama on a number of things, but overall, he's been a damn good president who's been terribly under-appreciated. It will take some time, but I think eventually he will be held in a high regard similar to other great liberal presidents like FDR, Truman, and JFK.
Oh, and welcome back!

(83,929 posts)Thanks WIProgressive.
Best of the best. Yes he is. No one ever believed he was perfect. Who is????
I know, many people do not want that black man in the White House. Sorry, they need to get over that. Ha! he has one more year unfettered. Just watch.
Safe Hands~

I call the year ahead the year of "Obama don't care" about those who oppose him on principle and who have no solutions of their own. I am so looking forward to him making the best of his last year.
He has graced the White House with his family, their brilliance, beauty and elegance. And with his incredible competence and with his so needed cool.
And your chronicling what I just described has been a delight to me.
Thank you!

At least now I can alert Skinner on a juror that wanted to punch me in the face. Ya, I alerted the admins, now I can take it to ask the admins. I won't get an answer yet will try anyway. Such an ugly jury response. We are broken now. That was a violent out of control response. No, they had no clue I was a woman, no matter, it was violent and that person has no place in our jury system.

Old Dixie Hwy in Riviera Bch renamed Pres Barack Obama Hwy, first city in the county to name a road for him @pbpost

Riviera Beach renamed Old Dixie Highway in honor of President Barack Obama during a ceremony on Thursday, a change that city officials say will help move the community past its segregated history.
It is the second road in Palm Beach County to be named in honor of the 44th president, county officials said. Two years ago, Pahokee in western Palm Beach County renamed East First Street to Barack Obama Boulevard.
A crowd cheered as a crew lowered the Old Dixie Highway street sign in Riviera Beach and raised one bearing the sitting president's name: President Barack Obama Highway.
"We are stepping up to a new day, a new era, and replacing Old Dixie with Barack Obama, who represents change," Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters told Sun Sentinel news partner WPEC-Ch. 12.

(83,929 posts)Hey, you made me shed a tear.
You are a kind gentle person and I thank you for welcoming me back to the table and saving me a seat. I did not mean to be away so long. Me, after being gone for 30 days, I find I don't miss it all that much.
All I miss are my friends in a few groups. That is it.
You are to kind NBachers.
