I thank Obama because ...He knew that he would have to endure pain and criticism beyond imagination and was willing to fight for positive change in America anyway. He knew that if we had another republican president our country would be in worse shape than it is in now. He has a heart for the people...that's why he was voted in. He is what the majority of people wanted. There was catastrophe in the making before he even announced to run for office that was scheduled to ruin this nation and no president black white republican democrat could stop what the hidden banks leaders had planned from years prior. President Obama is a blessing and a waymaker. All who voted him in should continue to support him and do no less than that. In the history of the US there has not been a time as challenged as thisand President Obama is dealing with each strangling situation as they come. He is a blessing.Denise Swanson
