Of course this is an assumption we all could have made, but I got the email and the facebook update today.
Barack Obama is officially running for President of the United States of America and this is one person who could not be happier about that decision.
It has been a rough couple of years for the President Obama, economy, wars, republican obstructionism, racism, people general crabbiness about things not going the way they thought or hoped or were "lied" to about, it must suck being the boss.
That being said I wouldn't have it any other way and if I can help it, he's gonna get the full 8. OBAMA 2012!!!! HOLLA!!!
I'm an Obamabot, I'm a cheeerleader, I'm one of those people clapping louder, and Louder, and LOUDER!!!!!!
I'm telling people to sit down & shut up, I'm telling people to STFU, and I'm straight up ignoring a good number of people.
I'll be a socialist, I'll be a drone, I'll be Marxist, I'll be all of those things as long has he gets to keep his job.
I got my money ready to go, I might even make a call or two, and you better believe I broke out the old lawn signs.
To me the reasons are obvious but...
1. Iraq draw down
2. Afghanastan doing what he said he would
3. Economy on the rise
4. Economy didn't totally collapse(phew)
5. 8,500 for buying my first home
6. DADT done this summer
7. DOMA on its way out
8. High speed rail
9. Ledbetter
10. Hospital visitation
11. Healthcare
12. Investment in disabilities
13. Lybia response
14. Not a republican
15. Ditched party BS and got to work in a major way.
16. He's a moderate
17. He is a Democrat
18. He loves basketball
19. He loves golf
20. The benefit of having someone other than a usual suspect in The White House for about a decade will not easily be measured but I believe it will work in favor of the Democratic Party.
Go get'em sir, I am so proud of the way you have represented this country.

I'm proud of Obama, what he has done, and what he will continue to do for millions of people. I have no shame or reservations about giving him a second term and if getting him a second term isn't a top priority, I don't know what is.

Thanks again for my first rec'd diary and to the people that disagreed respectfully. This is a diary from a man that will have zero reservations when it comes time to vote. To the people that check in on me every once in a while this was for you and us and for all of us that have real love for Obama and give him the room he deserves to be the President. If you know he's being held to a higher standard, can I get a "hell yeah!!!"
