You’re the only girl I’ve seen for a long time that actually did look like something blooming.

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.

Republicans have created this completely fictional President: his name is Barack X, and he’s an Islamo-socialist revolutionary who’s coming for your guns, raising your taxes, slashing the military, apologizing to other countries, and taking his cues from Europe — or worse yet, Saul Alinsky!
And this is how politics has changed: you used to have to run against an actual candidate. But now, you just recreate him inside the bubble and run against your new fictional candidate. That’s how Bush won in 2004 — by running against John Kerry, a French war criminal.
And speaking of Bush, I know conservatives are saying ‘Oh Bill, come on — Democrats did the same thing to him.’ No. Say what you will about the left’s hating of Bush, (but) at least we were hating on the real guy. We didn’t invent a boogeyman who tanked the economy, took us to war on false pretenses, and tortured prisoners — that was the actual guy.
But run down the list of complaints about ‘Fantasy Obama’. He ‘wants to raise your taxes,’ even though he’s lowered them; ‘confiscate your guns,’ even though he’s never mentioned it; and ‘read terrorists their rights’ — yeah, like he did Tuesday in Somalia.
…You see, the difference is the Republicans’ hatred of Obama is based on a paranoid feeling on what he might do; what he’s thinking; what he secretly wants to change. Anger with Bush was based on what he actually did. What Bush was thinking didn’t matter — because he wasn’t.

BILL MAHER, Real Time (via inothernews)
PREACH!
(via truth-has-a-liberal-bias)
This moderate, clear-headed, forward-thinking man has slowly brought this country out of the gutter. While the unemployment rate has a long way to go, his proposals aim at long-term solutions that will avoid a repeat of the economy’s self-immolation in 2008. This State of the Union address outlined few grand proposals, but that comes as little surprise in a presidential election year with a Congress engaged in trench warfare. Over the last three years, no one in Washington has demonstrated more willingness to cooperate and compromise than President Barack Obama.
America needs him for four more years.
Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Newsweek: Obama's Effective Strategy 
WORTH THE READ. At the very least, read the last paragraph. Then read the whole thing.
This almost single-handedly revived a strong drive in me to get him re-elected.
Four more years.
You can’t outsmart crazy.

I don’t buy the notion that we have to make a choice between having clean air and clean water and growing this economy.
