And I'm getting really bugged by the self-professed Lefties who only want to vent their hatred for him because he can't and doesn't shove the nation leftward far enough fast enough to suit them. I don't claim them as fellow lefties, because they behave just as badly as teabaggers. 'Left' is supposed to mean something good, and they do everything they can to trash our good name. That's one reason I suspect some of them of being moles or posers.

God bless this president and continue to guide and protect him all his days. That's the go-to prayer I say in my heart or even aloud every time I see him on tv or even think about him. I read about a survey once which claimed President Obama's supporters were far more likely to say they'd take a bullet if it meant protecting him than conservatives would their representatives. Doesn't surprise me a bit, and the man deserves anything we can do for him.
