No wonder his approval rating is up to 53%...
If he can just get those nasty Republicans on board, we can turn this country around in about 18 months...
I am starting to think that the people that bash Obama here are just doing it because they are racists and can't stand the fact that an African Negro is doing such a fine job running the show..
