Remember this thread by John Lucas?

ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251130631

I bookmarked that thread to keep my faith up as the media pushed Romney and Ryan, the killers, no matter how ridiculous. No matter the Tea Party and their blatant acts of intimidation and stealing the rights of voters.

Just like I was worried to death in 2008 about Palin and her klan rallies, I was wrong and never more grateful to be so. My heart really needed that thread, so I bookmarked it and recommended it every chance I got.

Now we have been under attack for over 4 years and the enemies of equality have not rested, but are fought back. The forces for war and misery, are dueling us and we are taking many blows.

This president was placed in office to do what has to be done, no matter what way it will be done. I have grown watching this man perform his tasks, I have come to see the past and present and future in my own way.

Let's keep our eyes on what is best, life, love and liberation. Benjamin Franklin said, 'There is no such thing as a good war or a bad peace.' Obama will do what's necessary to get us where we need to be, without ego.

He is the most intelligent man I have seen in office, and the firmest in his faith. I saw a video of him counting his days in office that are left. He will achieve his goals. I miss him already.
