President Obama: Yes he is!

Need a list of our President's accomplishments to date to carry around in your back pocket? Well here it is, electronically anyway. Rachel Maddow brilliantly sums up the astonishing accomplishments of Barack Obama during the less than two years he has been in office.

Watch this clip and save it (or memorize it) should you need a reminder of how great this man is, and what he is doing to make our country (and our world) a better place. And Maddow doesn't even mention his nomination of two exceptional women to the Supreme Court (who are both young, with the potential to serve for years).

To my fellow progressive friends who complain he is not doing enough, that he has capitulated to the middle: Get over it.

That President Obama has accomplished this much after inheriting a nation in economic free fall and suffering from nearly a decade of repressive politics is astonishing. That he has accomplished this much while being under constant virulent attack from the far right, and while enduring the ugly onslaught of the overt and covert racism at the core of their tea bagging insanity, is the true measure of his character.

Maddow sums it up by saying, "The last time any president did this much in office, booze was illegal. If you believe in policy, if you believe in government that gets things done, cheers to that."

Amen, sister.
