Credit due to Mr. Obama

I was thinking out loud about all of the good things Mr. Obama has done for our country and the Republicans:

1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations – something no Republican was ever able to do.

2. Obama has completely exposed the liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well: Liberals tax, borrow, and spend; Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America; Liberals want to take over the economy; Liberals think they know what is bet for everyone; Liberals are not happy until they are running your life.

3. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom-loving Americans. Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!

4. Obama, with his 'amazing leadership' has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has ever seen. Law-abiding citizens have rallied and provided a 'stimulus' to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved offshore.

Again, I want to say "thank you, Barack Obama!" After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed.
