go head Mr. Pres.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama claimed credit for his role in the progress made on LGBT issues in recent years InTime's Person of the Year interview — "bragging rights," one of his harshest critics told BuzzFeed, that the president had earned.One of the things that I’m very proud of during my first four years is I think I’ve helped to solidify this incredibly rapid transformation in people’s attitudes around LGBT issues — how we think about gays and lesbians and transgender persons. A lot of that just has to do with the fact that if you talk to Malia, the idea of making an anti-gay remark at her school is just unimaginable. They just don’t get that. ...
i'm thinking much to the republicans chagrin he'll be "MAN OF THE DECADE" to many accomplishments to date to list.
For all the divisions that you read about in our politics — and many of them are real and powerful — the truth is, is that we have steadily become a more diverse and tolerant country that embraces people’s differences, and respects people who are not like us. And that’s a profoundly good thing. That’s one of the strengths of America. It was hard-fought. And there’s been the occasional backlash, and this is not to argue that somehow racism or sexism or homophobia are going to be eliminated or ever will be eliminated. It is to argue that our norms have changed in a way that prizes inclusion more than exclusion.
And I do think that my eight years as President, reflecting those values and giving voice to those values, helps to validate or solidify that transformation, and I think that’s a good thing for the country.
he promised change maybe your idea of change was yours but his seems to encompass the nation those who made fun after 4 years of total obstruction he still managed to set those wheels in motion, to deny he delivered on change is to be republican, but even that is changing.
KUDO'S . Mr. President to date, "Mission Accomplished" really.
