In Case You Forgot what Obama Has Done for Us Lately

The Obamas leaving church Sunday Oct 11, 2009

Following last weeks announcement of Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize win, a lot of people came out of the woodwork with negative reactions and responses as to why he shouldn’t receive the award. Immediately I wanted to go off, because I personally am sick and tired of people disrespecting our president, belittling him, and always looking for something negative to say about him. I commend President Obama on being the FIRST black President of the United states, for bring races together and for bringing out the true racist characteristics of those who have been racist all along.


People can say what they want about former President Bush & the rest of them but the fact remains that World Health Organization’s report that ranks the U.S. 37 of 39 industrialized countries. The same report shows that we have more people dying of curable diseases than Canada, France and England. This is not President’s Obama’s fault; he is the one actually trying to do something about this epidemic.

In a mere 9 mine months these are some of the things he accomplished as President:
• Pulled the economy back from the brink of depression. Continued President Bush’s bank bailout/stimulus programs.
• Began the process of reforming health care in this country.
• Signed the Lily Ledbetter fair-pay law that finally gives parity to women in employment.
• Expanded the SCHIP children’s health program.
• Began funding embryonic stem-cell research.
• Saved the American car industry.
• Began closure of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba.
• Began turning Iraq over to the Iraqis.
• Started long-overdue work on climate change.
• Appointed a Supreme Court justice  the first woman and Hispanic.
• Opened dialogue with countries previously ignored.
• Organized meeting with Israeli and Palestinian representatives.
• Gained the support of the Russians in the Iran nuclear standoff.
• Presided over the United Nations Security Council, the first American president to do so.
• Met with the president of Iran, first time in 30 years.
• Serving as a great role model for the black family and all other families.


I think his black side and his white side has done a great job so far. Of course I don’t agree with every single decision or statement that he has made, but I do RESPECT him for what he has done and won’t simply stand by and let people belittle his accomplishments. Be proud of your President, I am.
