I suggest that we start posting on this site, the good work done by this Administration..... [View All]

We need a one stop place where the threads evidencing that this Administration is progressive and is working to march us forward are easily accessible, and do not vanish down into the world of page 2 on the larger forums.

I also suggest that we need to post a week's worth of activity from this administration as a response to those who see one thing not going exactly how they want it and post that as their "justification" for hating on the Obama Administration. The truth is for one thing that isn't well received, this administration does 10 things that are truly a step in the correct direction.

We have to keep a reality check out there for those who have a tendency to only look for the negative as well as those who are into hyperbole.

Here's the list for last week, while he was on vacation:
