In Honour of Black History Month, here is a small tribute to our President, Barack Obama...

For the "room-lighting" smile

For the mind that's always thinking

For preventing a second Great Depression

For the humour

For bringing the number of women in the Supreme Court to 3

For making the White House the "people’s" house

For 1.1 million jobs created in 2010 alone, more than the entire 8 years of George W. Bush

For the love of people

For the love of family

For America's First Lady

For Health Care reform

For leaving the past behind

For the world having respect for America, again

For quietly and calmly dealing with crisis after crisis, after crisis, after crisis, even if not being responsible for any of them

For being so "cool"

For being fierce—when needed

For having the intellect to be curious

For the capacity to know that you are, as we are, imperfect…

For having the sense to not let it destroy you…

For the capacity to be compassionate

For being an inspiration to so many

For saving the auto industry and at least 1.4 million jobs

For loving the troops

For understanding the horrible price of war

For facing the most difficult and loneliest job in the world with grace, dignity, honesty and guts in spite of so many "Haters"

For being, in spite of, all the hate, pettiness, racism, corruption and immaturity around, the most progressive and ‘for the people’ president in decades ... and, simply for this

For being MR. PRESIDENT!
