something Community Organizers do....because most of them
themselves were inspired at some point in their lives to do
good.

Love the fact that our President was and is a community organizer.

He will need us throughout this 2nd term, so it's best to be fired up and ready to go!

People like our President do not come around every day.
We should be glad that there are people like him around to inspire the youth today to accomplish great things.

12. The soul of a honest man
Fri Nov 9, 2012, 12:03 AM
Nov 2012

With President Obama's re-election, I am more proud and more confident than ever in America's future. Obama is a good, honest, and decent man- a man who says what he means and means what he says. He's heads and shoulders above other politicians. He's no faker....he’s not out there for fame and fortune. On the contrary, Obama is the real deal - a man whose ideals and hopes and dreams are grounded in the lives and struggles of ordinary Americans. And he won't forget about us- whether we are young or old. Obama  believes in a UNITED States of America.... and we are very very lucky to still have him as President. Watch this video ...and watch the soul of the man:

Whereas Romney tears up talking about himself, not others.

I love this man....this video shows who he is....and I am glad we have a man like this leading our nation...

and an adult Little Boy--still wondering if Daddy ever really respected and loved him...and all the other narcissitic bullshit that Enlightened Men shed themselves of. If Mittens still has the capicty to learn anything new, he will head to the WOODS for a while and do some thinking.

Backbone.
Brains.
Integrity.
Honor.

Obama.

THAT'S who our President is for the next 4 years.

The difference between the gluttonous, greedy, avaricious, narcissistic, malevolent, right wing, fascist ideology, and the giving philosophy of the liberals.

Great video of the President in a candid, impromptu moment expressing his gratitude to the idealistic staff that overcome the Karl Rove machine and millions in corporate dollars to re-elect the President.

This man has more heart, soul, compassion, sincerity and decency than the entire Republican party combined. He's the real deal. He respects and appreciates people, and inspires them to do great things.

I'm so happy he'll be leading our country for another four years and I'm so proud to have voted for him ... twice!

Now let's continue to support him in his agenda. Call your congressmen and senators, sign petitions, write editorials and join focus groups to support and defend a forward aganda. I am inspired to do so. Are you?
