Why Obama Matters

By The Daily Dish

Because he's above an easy hit at Romney. You know: you can mock him for being too goody-two-shoes, but I've come to believe he really is the real thing. I keep looking for evidence he isn't, and spent some time this year looking for reasons to doubt him. But I couldn't. Don't dismiss it. Don't buy the Clinton crapola. Don't give in to the tired Beltway baloney from Penn. Sometimes, it's worth supporting someone for the right reasons. Obama and Paul give me hope. And, boy, do we need some.
