I Thank Obama

We just wrote a nice, long thank you letter to President Obama in our last post, but we thought we'd draw particular attention to the fact that, yes, President Obama actually DOES have a website called "I Thank Obama" where you can personally give thanks and "share why you are thankful for the presidency of Barack Obama."

The website comes complete with idiot-proof color-coded categories that stamp your comment as "Positive" if you have something flowery to say to Mr. Obama, like Patricia E. Coleman from Jonesboro, who gushes:

"I thank President Obama because he has given young Americans an example of hope...[and has] the intelligence and mental stability to keep his eye on the prize regardless of the distractions that are meant to throw him off course. I am thankful that he is a man a husband and a father. To me he is fearless. He accepted the responsibilty to help America through the horrible circumstances left to him of war near financial collapse unemployment and so many situations that have left American citizens in pain on many levels. I am thankful that he is mature and wise beyond his years. ...I wonder how many of those who protest the healthcare bill are without healthcare themselves. It is like not caring about feeding the hungry because your belly is full.."

Whereas, if you dare to question The Almighty Obama, Savior of the U.S., your comment gets flagged as "Critical," such as Jerry Jeseski's (from Newport News): 

"I thank President Obama for spending more in two years than George Bush spent in eight years. I can't wait until the taxes go up to pay for it all."

Needless to say, we're in the process of copying and pasting excerpts from our last blog one heart-felt "thank you" at a time, so our love notes can also be part of the historical book that will be presented to Mr. Obama on Inauguration Day in 2013.
