11. I'm depressed and pessimistic, but the President always makes me feel better.

He's our leader, and he's a damn fine human being. My son posted on his FB page: the next person who calls Obama a Muslim or terrorist on my page will be gone from my contacts, and that includes family. To which his right wing step mother commented, even family? to which my son said yes, even family. I'm not listening to that bullshit anymore. Grow up! Behave with the intelligence and dignity we see in our president every day.

Amen, son.
